"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.

guys im confused...
im 22, great looking, drive a seriously nice car, and live in an amazing house
pick up a girl (hb9) in club, she sees that im hitting on all the girls so knows i have social proof.
call 5 days later and arrange meet. do everything perfectly as according to the bible etc. play hard to get, be aloof, keep her laughing, dress up nicely, action date, take her to mine, LOTS of kino (high fives, arms round them handholding), did some push pull, some qualifying and even threw in a couple of neg hits + the whole sisonpyh technique(kept telling her she'd make a good friend whilst mixed messages). we're at mine all night watching films and shes in my arms, shes laughing constantly at all my c&f comments and its going good, we get along great. she even says "how can u be so great" to which i reply "thanks for the compliment but i prefer a massage" etc etc... the whole works!

problem-
im seeing ioi's here there and everywhere - flicking hair, rubbing leg, punching my arm etc...
so i let the comfort build, then start to play with the hair, then go for the kiss, she pulls away semi-smiling so i pull an LMR freezeout by turning the lights back on.
get into comfort zone again, wait for buying temperature to rise, go for kiss again 15 min later, she pulls away. WHAT THE xxxx? lol? shes a hot girl who definitely aint shy, and she doesnt look like an innocent one either!

playing games? lack of interest? :(
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

this happened once you say?

once? whats the problem here

not all womenare the same and some will act differently, some believe its appopriate to involve themself in a physical relationship as well as having a fun, enjoyable emotional relationship

not everything is about sex

you'll be right

lordson- i get ur point, yeah, but this never happened before so im looking at correcting my methods. i dont give 2 ****s for this girl but my method is what counts. my ego is not at all affected, no woman could touch my ego - i just like to correct mistakes where they go wrong.

dont think shes seeing someone else, she got dumped by her bf a few weeks back.

me and my wing are stumped. im thinking maybe she thinks im a player therefore wouldnt let me get my way 1st date. but ****.. even a kiss?? hmm....
 

"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.

DonS,
Dude, that sounds like a good plan... my wing and i were discussing it earlier and we suggested that all the games im running might be making her uncomfortable - like you said, she wants something a bit more genuine so to speak. maybe my game was a bit too overpowering - damn i even made her pay for the mini-golf game we had (i made a bet with her - you lose you pay-for a challenge) which might have been a bit harsh - probably should have gone dutch.

im going to take your advice because me and my boy were just thinking the same thing. next time i think i might take her on a genuine date (give her a chance), maybe a meal or something - show her that i am a human being not a machine! lol

you're answers have been right in the past to my questions bro so i trust your judgement again. Ill let you know how it goes!

ok guys.. update - been on about 6 or 7 dates with her - action dates/movies/her place/my place/cooking, you name it. lots of kino, lots of rapport building, some push pull and ive toned down the game a bit. furthest we've gone is kissing and it fukking suxx - every time i kiss her, she pulls away after and says 'plz can ya take me home now' so i drive her home. same drill every time we meet.

i was thinking about nexting her, but everytime i go to do that she ends up contacting me and asking for a meet up.
sometimes nexting is all too easy to say - but if theres no action thus far, what should i do.

i thought, maybe there is an ljbf coming, but i cant be sure - im getting milions of iois and we always get on well.

any ideas on what to do if theres no action at this point? or should i just next?

thx guyz

do everything perfectly as according to the bible
That's your problem right there, in your head you're following a script of the bible. The bible is a good starting point but it's not fail proof.

This stuff only works, when you do it without realizing it. For example, when you get in your car to drive you go through a set routine without even thinking about it. You get in, put your seat belt on, adjust the rear and side view mirrors. Start the engine, press the brakes in order to shift gears into reverse or drive and then you drive off. That's how this stuff works, and it's called instincts.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Don't fully next her. Just stop accepting all of her dates, start turning down a couple and accept one or 2 others. That should throw her off any predictability.

Change the dynamics of the game around a bit, let her initiate the kissing next time, and end one or 2 dates early if nothing is forthcoming, this should make her wonder if she's losing you and hopefully cause her to start making some effort.
