"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.

Here is the pattern ive noticed with the girls im interested in, keep in mind theese all occur at school or at the mall where i work:

1. Girl smiles at me or gives really strong ec
2. I take the oppurunity and talk to her(this step is always really good, some small talk and a lil C&F)
3. Here is where i mess up, either i come on too strong, conversation isnt that interesting, etc. ( at this step the girl seems really interested but not really opening up, almost like playing hard to get)

The last chick i was trying to get with at work, I was 110% she liked me, she light up really happy to see me, etc. Yet when i asked for a phone number she says something like "im not that easy".

I even asked one of my classmates to meet me at the library, the girl was so happy/blushing/cheery not a SINGLE DOUBT IN MY MIND. I go to the library that day...nothing.

Sometimes i wish i could just find out if we're interested, then just pick her up stick her in my car and go get something to eat, I doubt they would even mind.

- I think sometimes i can be really intimidating/confident/forward instead of shy/nervous when asking a girl out, and its a turn off maybe?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Just keep at it. Your game might need some small adjustments but this is not the time for your confidence to crash. Remember that every time you miss, you learn from what happened even unconciously and get closer to your goal.

I think you need to work on trust

Is the whole thing fun? Are you smiling? Is she laughing? Have you built enough repoire? Keep it fun, and it will be easier to keep at it.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Ya, i think your right. The recent chick was always gleaming like the sun, with an authentic smile everytime i saw her, but im just now realizing the rapport wasnt great, if much at all. I think i suck at building rapport. How am i to do it? i think its corny to be like "hey well whadya do for fun"..."ya me too, I love doing this and that, just like you!" isnt that a lil suckerish?

Don't be basic in your chat.....bust on her a little bit (****y and funny).....use your surroundings as aids to keep conversation going for maybe 7 minutes.....get the email......if she resists....say something sarcastic and funny like, "Yeah, I really want to stalk you and call you everyday.......:rolleyes: ....don't bluff yourself....write it down *give her pen and paper*".....

Don't try to out do yourself.

Good Luck:cool:
