"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.

i'm having my college orientation next friday. what are some good conversation topics?

this is basically how the day is gonna go. there's a mandatory class for all freshmen. we have to stay with the people that are going to be in the same section for that class for the whole day. we're gonna get a tour and then have a barbecue at noon.

what are some good topics to talk about while walking around and at the barbecue? i already know everyone is gonna be like "what school did you go to?" and the obvious questions like that. i wanna stand out.
 

"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.

Well, I don't know if you guys are in groups or whatnot, but when I went(about a month ago) we were in groups and they helped us break the ice by playing games and stuff. Just ask what they like to do for fun, where they're from, what they think they're gonna major in, stuff like that. Idk if it'll help you stand out, worked for me though. GL and have fun.

those are the types of questions i'm trying to avoid. they're so typical. everyone in college expects those questions since everyone is new. anything that'll make me stand out?

Like I said in a previous post somewhere. Ask them where they are from, if you know the place say something about it "oh I love that X store there!" or if you dont know the place ask them "whats the best part about living there." and then after that say something like "we should go find a similar spot in this new town" done and done date lined up right there.
 

"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.
