"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'll be seeing my LD g/f tomorrow. Problem is we postponed our trip that was scheduled for between xmas and new years till January. Therefore presents will likely be exchanged this weekend. I don’t have any money to get her a gift till my cheque gets deposited after I see her tomorrow.

I know she’ll likely get me something, she told me she already bought my daughter a xmas present. I was planning on doing the 2 rose thing tomorrow (1 red, 1 yellow, w/ a note saying A red rose for my love, and a yellow rose for my best friend). I won't be able to do this until after I get there tomorow though, (I already found the flower shop near our hotel) However, I was also going to get her something else. She had mentioned that she wanted a pair of red leather gloves.

How should I handle the situation, I don’t want to appear as an inconsiderate jerk who didn’t think of her, or the broke bum either.
 

"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.

tell her you bought her some amazing present. something that costs a lot of money. but that your car got broken into and they stole it.

then get all pouty and act like you really wanted her to have that expensive gift so that shed know you cared.

then prepare for her to bang yoru brains out, becdause after all its the thought that counts.

Ummm, you need to get her something.

Open up a credit account with a store. Almost every big store has its own credit card now. Sometimes they'll give you a discount on the purchase you make when you open the account. Department stores often do this. Buy the gift, pay it off and cut up the card. You might not even pay much in interest.

Get the credit card or borrow money from a friend. This is such a powerful social custom that it would unwise to go against it. It would be like not giving a tangible commercial grade gift on Valentine's Day.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
