"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, okay. So me and my friend (junior) have first period together. I'm a sophomore btw. The girl I personally like is also in first period w/ us. I sit in front of him, and next to her. My friend and I are funny kids, and we neg her a lot. I have this problem though. When I'm around my friends i typically take things too far. I feel like I neg her too much, and it kills attraction. I also feel like she thinks I'm weird. She looks at me sometimes, and while we're making eye contact I smile and wink at her. After I do this she laughs and calls me weird. Is that a good thing, or is she just joking w/ me? Homecoming is in 2 weeks, and I want to go, but i don't have a date atm.
How can I stop negging her all the time, and how should I go about the homecoming?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I once heard that when someone says your weird
they don't understand you. I Don't know how true that is
but if that's the case then yeah shes basicly saying
I don't understand why you act and treat me this way.

How can I stop negging her all the time
Um you just stop what's so hard about that?

So how are you negging her?
Give some examples.

lol, for example: We tell her she looks like a giraffe sometimes. It's a joke, and she thinks it's funny, but we take it too far soemtimes

"How can I stop negging her all the time?"

The answer is in your question.

Just be like "nah, nah, you're actually pretty cool." Don't say you were "just kidding". After you say she's cool have a conversation with her.

You take it "too far" with things when you are with friends?

Because you want attention, to show people how cool you are, get 5 seconds of glory. Not good.

You are a **** to her, and try to project the ****y funny attitude... but then you come HERE and ask opinions on what she thinks about you, does she like you etc... deep down u know ur value is lower than hers (thats why u made this thread).. but you ACT as if its higher.

Weird = the INCONGRUENCY that I just described - and people esp. females can pick up on what's inside and whats outside you. If they don't match - you're "weird".

How can I stop negging her?
-we're here to develop as MEN and ADULTS. You know, one of characteristics of a grown man is.. knowing when to shut the fvck up.


JDA,
"I don't understand why you act and treat me this way."

---she understands.

that it's because he really feels insecure next to her... but acts THE OPPOSITE way. And she wonders why he can't be more real/honest, at least with himself.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I think you're right. I have a problem w/ actually letting people get to know the real me. Of course all of my friends, and family know who I really am, but only 2 or 3 girls do. I am pretty insecure, but I don't know how to fix this. I am a good kid. I don't get in trouble, I don't drink, I don't smoke or do drugs. I make almost all A's. I just feel like I have to keep reassuring myself that I am a good kid. It's almost like I don't believe it myself. Why would I be afraid to show who I am if I truly believe that I am a good person? I want to learn how to DHV, and I want to learn how to rid myself of my insecurities.
