"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.

Creative title eh? lol

My issue currently is not asking someone out do the event, it's the question that might follow up -> Are we going as friends or w/e? Or some variant thereof, what is a pretty suave way to answer that?

I heard somewhere "Stick around and you'll find out" but I'd imagine that could come off as sorta creepy. So do the masters have any ideas?

Also another thing, she keeps mentioning this one guy by asking me is he in my classes or just sometimes randomly asks stuff like that, I believe she has lunch with him - he's a new guy that apparently moved in not too long ago. Would this be a **** test or did her interest in me grow colder then an old corpse? What can I do to undo this unfortunate thing? Funny thing is I think she just is infatuated by him, she felt sorry and all since he was new etc, hope he gets tossed away into the friends bin for my sake. :D
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

First of all I'm no master but....

1)Picture this. There's a smoking hot girl that you want to ask to homecoming, but you can't work up the nerve to ask. However, another equally hot girl walks up to you and asks you to homecoming. What do you say?

This is kinda the situation the girl you want to ask to hc (lets call her A for times sake) is in.

The continue questioning is probably the **** test unless you are really good friends with her. IF your not she wouldn't be ruining her chances with you by asking about another dude, unless it was the **** test.

If she asks if your going as friends, say something like, "I dont no it depends how drunk we are" with a smile. Anything that will get her to laugh will pretty much guarantee you a yes. It also leaves the whole thing about friend or girlfriend for her to decide at the dance.

I dunno but, I would probably leave it at least very implied that we were not going as just friends. Like "we're going as a guy and a girl" or something...

I like that thanks, now is there any creative or suave way of asking someone out? I'm set to just be like "We are going to homecoming." dunno if that would work the wonders though.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: I was just doin some fluff text talk (I know it's against DJ policy but w/e) and she casually mentions "some guy told me he was gonna ask me to homecoming......" I want to emphasize the dots after that lol, I guess I gotta get my act together and pull this shindig off tomorrow, before whoever this is does (if he exists). That's funny though, someone saying that they will say something later very redundant. S4it test?

Well idk about other people, but i'd stick with asking her. We are going kinda thing just seems like it would cause a knee jerk reaction of "what?"/"um no"/"um where did you get that" thing, esp. if its a willfull girl. If you can pull that off go with it tho.

Also ask her tomorrow most def.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yeah, I did it (asked not commanded ie want to go? as opposed to let's go!). Answer yes (with a smile). Now here comes the messed up part... My gut is not convinced... Is this normal? I also feel like my memory is betraying me with the exact details of how this went down. Apparently, some guy also asked her but she didn't want to go with him. Yeah I know that's a good sign. Oh man the event in 1.5 weeks away and it's stressing me out even though it shouldn't be. Well I guess I can safely say I won half the battle?

I also noticed asking girls to a 'formal' dance still gives me anxiety, as opposed on a casual date. Funny thing is, I'm not that compelled to go now haha, a lot of it was peer pressure.

Oh well, I guess the stuff is out of my control now.
