"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.

lately ive been spending more time watching peoples' body language, posture, and just how they carry themselves. probably the biggest surprise was i noticed a fairly hot coworker mirroring me. for about an hour we had to sit at this big table and listen to a presentation(she was right next to me). anyway id change how i was sitting in the chair and how my arms were and she would follow suit, usually within seconds. ive had people mirror me other time, but never seen it this strongly. weather i just didnt pick up on it or what im not really sure.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I don't know if I would look that far into it man. I get all the IOIs I need by watching a woman's eyes and facial expression. Her "mirroring" you could just be something subconscious that doesn't necessarily mean shes attracted.

Well mirroring, when it comes to women, 99% of the time is a good thing if you're looking to make a move. If anything I would look at it as her being open to your advances. It's subtle but it's there. You should act in kind. If it were any other location (not work), like school, I would recommend opening with some basic convo, etc.

I wouldn't recommend that here though because she's your coworker... That's another topic however.
