"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yeah I know I should have wear a condom but now its done...what Im supposed to do? I mean how long I have to wait and which medical tests I have to do?

Im checking myself everyday but see no rushes or changes inmy body, Im concerned even more because I met an other girl now and dont wanna give her any disease but at the same time I cannot turn down her offer otherwise she'll think Im rejecting her.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Look online and check nearby sexual health clinics, or call your doctor.

Get tested earlier and then get tested a month later again. Some STD's don't manifest early on and take a while to show up on tests.

Remember that the STDs that you are most likely to contract, like HPV, herpes and skin disorders, only get reduced in transmission by about 50% by condom use. Condoms do prevent syphilis and the clap, but the clap (gonorrhea) typically shows painful symptoms within a week or two of contracting, so you probably don't have it. Syphillis makes a sore about half of the time.

The biggest danger in theory is HIV and hepatitis. But unless she was a prostitute or IV drug user, your odds of having contracted those are very small. I'd guess that the odds are not much different from something else horrible and unlikely happening to you, like dying or getting maimed in an accident. You still need to get tested at three and six month intervals.

If you keep showing no symptoms, I wouldn't say anything to the new girl if I were you. It will ruin your chemistry with her. Plus, it's not like all women are going to be honest with you about the details of their past. Even if she's a virgin, she can still give you type-1 herpes. Manage your risks wisely, but beyond that, you just have to get over your fear.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
