"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.

Is there anyway to increase the probablity of having the girl make the first move...

here's the situation: i know this girl. we see each other often in a professional setting. she just recently aquired an AFC bf. but i can tell that there is the possibility of something there between us...

but im not the type to come right out and go knocking on a girl's door who is already involved. so is there anything i can do to increase the likelihood of her making the first move?

or should i just simply ask her out on a date and see if she accepts and then act accordingly?
 

"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.

I understand that she is in a relationship.

But, don't go tryin to win her over... yet.

Play the C&F part with her, don't touch her.. and dont' see her all that often.

If you put too much preassure (or any preassure actually) right now.. you'll get burned, and you'll have blown your shot with this girl.

Best approach to take to this.. is the relaxed approach. Patience is a virtue.

Take it from someone who has been there before.

The hardest advice though.. is to actively seek to date other women, and don't fall into the oneitis trap.

however you do realize that you're tons better than that AFC guy... and if she is at the end of it all, willing to leave him for you.. beware. she is highly capable of doing that to you one day, when she finds someone else whom she thinks is better than you. play your cards right mate... do what you think is best.

Don't **** in your sandbox.
 

"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.

be patient: check

seek others: check

ask her for drinks: when would this be a safe proposition?

If you are worried about women who leave realtionship for a better man, kinda limits the field a bit doesn't it?

I thought that is preprogrammed in all women's brains.
