"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.

On average? Every day? 2-3 times a week?

I heard David D saying to only see her twice a week, but I suppose he was referring to the attraction phase, not the relationship.

Does "the heart grow fonder" with absense? From my own experience, it does, but you have to strike a balance. Not too much absense. But definitely if you see someone every single day you inevitable begin to take the person for granted. Anyone agree?
 

"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.

Don't see her too often, REGARDLESS of how often you two have dated.

I figured this out by experience. When I end up seeing my gf too often (like every day), it gets repetitive. It's a lot more interesting when you keep it to let's say, every other day (IF you two have been together for a long time..otherwise, 2-3 times per week).

Keep it interesting by having a life. That's what attracted her in the first place, and it doesn't change.

place to place.
i find you don't have to be distant to keep things fresh. i spent almost 24/7 with my woman this summer and i have been with her for almost 5 years. thats why they invented videogames and guitar and tv and movies and cruising and camping, etc.

if you find somebody with the same interests as you. then the distance rule, you don't really need to obey it. we live in a small city where there isn't a whole lot happening but thats why you make things happen. i can only imagine the fun that is going to had when we make the transition to the big city.

Its funny because right when you get a gf, (in my case) she wanted to hang out every effin day.

I made a lot of excuses though and made it a once a week thing. Now after about a year (which i told her i need 2 months away from her, cuz she started to do sh!t i didnt like) we hang out about 3-4 times a week.

Have your life, dont make it spin around her. Keep her wondering what your up to and who your with.
 

"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.

In a relationship now and i see her 1-2 days a week. it doesn't sound like much but when you are with her its a lot more special because it's kind of a rare thing.

agree with this 220%

I broke up with my ex-girlfriend because she was way too clingy and hung out with me everyday. I just got bored of her and broke up with her. Started dating a new girl two days afterward.

I hang out with her nearly every day. But then again I'm in a pretty confusing situation right now. I see her every day, we have sex, we do pretty much everything that a normal couple does but we're not dating. But then again, when I think about it, its like a relationship with none of the costs or respinsibilities. So I'm not really complaining : P
