"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.

The weather is getting nice around here and the school I go to has a pretty small campus. In passing I am seeing a lot of women who I previously nexted during past semesters, girls who I may have gotten coffee with or went to the school's gallery with etc. Girls who I nexted because of boyfriends or because they were playing games mostly. When I next a girl I go total NC.

Is there any smooth way to start flirting with them again? I really don't like texting and sometimes I may only have a second or two to say something.
 

"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 agree with bradd. You don't. You say a polite "hi" when they are close enough and that is that. Don't let the illusion of time fool you into thinking they sparked interest in you all of a sudden. But hey, you CAN try if you really wanna convince yourself.

Generally you don't.. usually there's a reason you nexted them and that's because you weren't getting what you wanted from them or they were exhibiting bad behavior. When you go back, the same thing usually happens again, only this time around you've wasted even more time.

Otherwise, there's not much science to it. You just text them or call them like anyone else and ask them what they're up to. If they give you a sh*tty response, well then now you know why you nexted them to begin with.
Agreed. :up:
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

ive been experimenting a lot at work lately. im surrounded by all types of different attractive women all day long, ive come to realize, for the most part, you can act just as BPD and flakey as they do as long as you keep acting like its normal. you can ignore a girl one day and still talk to her the next day. you can re initiate pretty easily for some reason.

I'd have to have met TEN times as many women to ever forget a date. Now a casual conversation, or calls or emails, yeah, I can see forgetting those, after a year or so, or a few months or if you have a dozen or more new gals per month. I've got a helluva memory, tho.
