"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.

So I've been talking to this girl now for a few weeks and have started to get some pretty good ioi's, but I think I messed up a little bit a few days ago. We were having a text message conversation and I decided to test a new routine:

Me: You're a nerd
HB9: I know but you're more nerdy than me, you're in grad school
Me: I'm a fan of nerdy girls, you would look incredible in a sexy librarian outfit
HB9: Fantasizing about me already? Does my current uniform not satisfy you enough?
Me: It's all your fault, you really shouldn't look so good. It's ok though, I have really good self control.
HB9: -no response- ... and I haven't talked to her for a few days since

This was my first attempt at the gunwitch method and I think I totally butchered it. Any feedback on what I did wrong? And any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks
 

"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.

Looked good up until the last line. You need to do that in person now. Texting is not the best way to get good at DJism.

Yea you're definitely right, I tried almost exactly the same line this weekend on another girl (but in person), and got some great results. Lesson learned: don't do gunwitch method in a text.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

i dont think you should be treating it as a problem. just go about your business and hit her up later
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
