"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.

ok so here goes. Towards the end of the night I get girls numbers. This is when I call them it doesnt go too good because they initially don't remeber who I am. I usually get the numbers towards the end of the night.
Anyway, tonight I got a girls number and text her 30 min after the bar closed. She texted me back "who is this". I texted her "the guy who you gave the number to"
anyway, what shall i do with this girl.
What tips or what I'm I doing wrong
thanks in advance
 

"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.

I second that
a text message can be replied to whenever she gets around to it
but the phone call has to be dealt with on the spot, if she's into you or not you'll know pretty much right away

Exchange numbers. Get her number then CALL HER PHONE! I hate trying to explaing to girls who i am as if they have ADD and pay no damn attention. Texting is fine if you do it the right way. When i was up at school i would get girls numbers at parties on the weekend and text them during the week while i was in class. Yall need not be so rigid in your approach to this sh*t.

um yea. I don't really get the difference between calling and texting if the girl doesn't know WHO THE FVCK YOU ARE. For regular chicks, you need to get better rapport with the girl so that she remembers who you are (the guy she talked about _____ with) and wants you to call.

OTOH, if as you say, you are hitting on the drunk chick when the bar is shutting down, DON'T LET HER OUT OF YOUR SITE. She is drunk, she probably doesn't even remember where she lives yet you want her to remember one of the likely many guys that tried to capitalize on her inebriation?
 

"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.

Girls text, men call
Best advice I've seen in a while on here.

Also, if you're getting these chicks' numbers at the end of the night at a bar, a lot of them will probably be too hammered to remember the next day anyway.

I don't call chicks whose #'s I get in bars anymore. When I meet a chick in a bar or a club, my mindset is either get laid that night or don't follow up with them.

Tell a story. Tell a memorable joke. Tell her a personal story about you. Get her interested in YOU.

Watch the movie "Swingers". There is a part in this movie that pertains to you.

Was the text personal? Did you say "Hi laura,this is MANG. I had fun at the bar with you tonight. I'll call you later in the week so we can meet up again". Probably not.

Call her? Text her and say that you will meet her at the bar again? Either pursue or dump. What do YOU want to do?

Watch "Swingers" then watch "The Tao of Steve" then watch "Fight Club" and then come back and tell us what you did wrong.

Ponder:
Why'd she give you her number in the first place? Is she interested or did she just want to get rid of you?
Looks to me like you didn't distinguish yourself from the other guys she gave her number to.

I couldn't resist...

"Hi, Nikki. This is Mike. I met you tonight at the Dresden. I, uh, just called to say I, uh, I'm really glad we met and you should give me a call. So call me tomorrow, or , like, in two days, whatever. My number is 213-555-4679..."

(beep)
(dials again)

"Hi, Nikki. This is Mike, again. I just called because it sounded like your machine might've cut me off before I gave you my number, and also to say sorry for calling so late, but you were still there when I left the Dresden, so I knew I'd get your machine. Anyway, my number is..."

(beep)
(dials again)

"213-555-4679. That's all. I just wanted to leave my number. I don't want you to think I'm weird, or desperate or something... I mean, you know, we should just hang out. That's it. No expectations. Just, you know, hang out. Bye."

(beep)
(dials again)

"I just got out of a six-year relationship. Okay? That should help to explain why I'm acting so weird. It's not you. It's me. I just wanted to say that. Sorry. This is Mike."

(beep)
(dials again)

"Hi, Nikki. This is Mike again. Could you just call me when you get in? I'll be up for awhile, and I'd just rather talk to you in person instead of trying to squeeze it all..."

(beep)
(dials again)

"Hi, Nikki. Mike. I don't think this is working out. I think you're great, but maybe we should just take some time off from each other. It's not you, really. It's me. It's only been six months..."
 

"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.

If you game the b*tch right she will be waiting by her phone thinking of you, by the time you call her.

But never assume she isn't spinning a few plates of her own too. Which should motivate you to talk to more than just one girl at a time and play the numbers game, so just keep getting the numbers, you'll get it right from experience. Juggling one ball is just playing catch with yourself.
