"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.

How am I suppose to improve myself?

If I don't know what I did wrong? I had a date, it went well, and she calls me after the date. I waited four days to call her as I wanted to invite her to dinner. She only gave me her home number. Her mom answered and said she's in the shower and that she'll call me back, but of course that didn't happen.

It seems like she enjoyed herself and wouldn't mind seeing me again, but obviously I can't understand women worth ****. Either she isn't returning my call to see if I'll keep calling, or she had second thoughts.

I don't like making the same mistakes twice. It seems women are very good at cutting off all contact and leave the guy scratching his head.
 

"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.

Dude why the hell would you wait FOUR days to call her back? I honestly believe thats a retarded thing ppl live by. If you took her out and she had a blast, she had such a good time that she calls/txts you after why are you going to wait for that feeling to cool down so you can call her again?

Same **** just happened to me. Except we had two dates. **** it, who knows. I'm nexting my girl unless she decides to get back to me. Which might happen.

Its pretty wierd that she would give you her house number, if she has a cell phone. I say don't call her anymore. Wait and see if she calls you. Maybe try again in a couple months, if you still feel like it at the point.

Agreed. I hate this rule, and never follow it myself. If things go well on the date, I'm sure she'll love the fact that you call her the next day.

If things DON'T go well on the date, and you try to call the next day. The same thing will happen than if you waited 4 days to call her again.

Just call whenever you feel like it, and you have stuff you wanna say! No waiting necessary.

FIRST THING: Mom might not have given her the message. Mommy might want her to date her best friend's son Irving and not you. Give her the benefit of the doubt.

Secondly...
I HATE that "don't-call-for-3-days" game! I actually had a guy call and SAY to me :"I waited a couple days to call you, I didn't want to look desperate or anything. So, wanna go out?"

Call the girl! Tell her you're picking her up Saturday morning to go hiking or what ever.

Okay I lied, I did call her the next day.

The first time I called, her mother answered and said she was sleep. It was pretty late so that was believable. I waited two more days and called again, much earlier and her mother said she was in the shower.

It's not much I can do since I can't call her directly.

I won't call her anymore, and definitely won't be bothered in two months.
