"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.

"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.

You are only a junior, so why are you even worried about prom? Save the 100bucks and just hit up the afterparties. If you don't know of any, ask people that you know will be going or the people that will be throwing them.

Go to the prom and to the after party. At my school formals (grade 10 and 12), the only people who didn't turn up were the socially awkward ones. Doesn't matter if that describes you, it's a fun time. Forget about bringing a girl, just go and hang out with your friends. It's $100, but you only get one grade 11 prom (I hope.)

And i also dnt know wat to wear to the after parties if im not goin to prom, im assuming evrybodies weraing suits...ill be da only one wearin casul clothing.
Quite a few people get changed between the prom and the parties. Remember to wear a suit/tux at the formal though. Stand out as much as you can.

Try wearing a cravat instead of tie with your suit. When tied correctly it looks amazingly elegant and wonderful. A black suit with a white /off-white shirt and a purple/dark blue cravat looks simply ravisihing. Wear formal shoes though.

I went to my prom yesterday.

Do I regret it?

Not a flopping chance. I'd give up a limo full of HB10's for that.

It's just that fun.

And you don't need a suit a tie. My friend came to prom dressed in a Halloween pimp suit. Don't do that, but you get the idea, suit&tie is FUN, but not necesarry. Just dress sharp and clean. Steal one of your dads tie's or shirts, if possible/necesarry.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
