"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.

I appeared too rush and desperate. How to salvage it?

Hi all, this is my first post here. I am so clueless now.

This is the story.

I bought a house recently and I got attracted to a mortgage agent, Mandy. We had our first meeting to talk about the mortgage plan and my girlfriend, Lisa was with me.

Few days later, we had a one to one meeting and the session went well. We managed to talk about more personal stuff and I found out she was single. I even joke that I will introduce some guys to her. She was receptive. And I believe that day I scored pretty well.

A week later, my girlfriend and I broke up. Not because of mandy, but more of compatibility aspect. However, I did inform Mandy.

Mandy texted me to check whether I was alright. I replied casually trying to keep it cool.

I tried asking her out for coffee a week later, she rejected and two days later, i texted and called, but she did not reply. We did text each other before this. but now it seems like she is rejecting me.

I texted her two days later to asked her out again, and called but she did not pick up nor reply.

Perhaps I appear to be too desperate?

How do I get her to go out with me now that it has come to this stage?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

JoJr.
 

"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.

You're coming off as extremely desperate in my opinion. You JUST broke up with your GF, and you're texting/calling her to go out with you? She is instantly going to think you're looking for a quick peice of @ss...which will probably turn her off.

Beyond that, you're a client of hers. It would be extremely unprofessional of her to see you romantically outside of work...ESPECIALLY if she is a mortgage associate. There are TONS of rules (read: LAW, LEGISLATION) surrounding mortgage associates and conflicts of interest, she could find herself in serious trouble if even the smallest thing was out of line in her relationship with you/your business.

I would suggest you forget about her.

You have most likely breached the female "code of ethics" (an oxymoron if ever I've heard one).

She is thinking that you are dishonoring your previous relationship by trying to hit her up so soon. She sees you as shallow and undesireable because [in her mind] you have insulted your former girlfriend by rebounding too soon.

I would give this one a 0% chance. Once they make up their mind about his kind of thing, it's written in stone for them. Game over.
 

"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.

It was never a go. Too many ethical issues to begin with ....

However, never tell a girl that you broke with your girlfriend because she'll think you did it for her and that always comes off as desparate.

The only way you could have salvaged this one was for dirty pity play angle... where you say no not doing ok and laying guilt on her, Mandy, and convincing her that she should come over comfort you.

That only works if a) you are very skilled at this move b) you have no qualms about acting like a douchebag c) the girl has low self esteem.
