"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.

Let's say you have been dating someone for about 1 month or so. Their birthday comes around or it's New Year's Eve. Do you just wish her? Do you make a symbolic gift?

These are easy.

I've been seeing a girl for a short period of time. I've bought her two gifts: a box of coffee stirrers and a box of trash bags. Both are inside jokes and both were fully gift wrapped.

IOIs are through the roof.
