"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 have the want to go out and do all this,but find myself held back by something. I don't know if it is fear,anxiety,or worrying about all these things,or some serious baggage. Or a lack of a plan. Which may be due to an inability to get organized. With everything. I mean,I can see myself as the type of guy we thrive to be,but have a hard time actualizing it. Like,I wouldn't know what to say to women. Or just be easy going feel free type. It always seemed to me you have to have everything together,yourself,school,finances,etc,and become this stern,strong type. Am I wrong? Also,living at home is getting to me. I can't stand living with the family. They get on my nerves over every little thing and I am ready to explode at them for these things.
 

"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.

Are we the same person? Perhaps. And no,I am not gay. I have just had nothing in a really long time.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If there's not action, there's no motivation.

hmm.good point. I can find the motivation to get up and go to school and work,even when I am dead tired. I can find the same things if I want to go out and buy something. Work takes up alot of my time,school is only two days a week. Perhaps that's why. I have only 2 days a week off. On those 2 days,I feel I could go insane. Every negative thing just comes screeching out of me. And the times like now,where I am not at work,I am here,at home. Wishing I was somewhere else.
