"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.

I don't have many friends, so I do almost everything by myself (playing golf, going to the beach, going to movies, even the occasional eating out alone) and it got me wondering... most people think that this is being wierd or creepy, but doesn't that portray the opposite, in other words, doesn't that show that you are confortable in your own skin, that you don't need a person with you to enjoy things? I think it does tbh... What's your guys opinion?
 

"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.

Usually when a guy says they don't hang out with other people I usually think they are either of the mentality that they are too good for everyone else or seriously lack social skills. I don't think many people would do stuff alone out of choice and therefore can't figure out why anyone else would.

Well, I never "say" I don't hang out with anyone... just naturally happens that I do the majority of my activities alone.

I don't think it's creepy, but then again, I'm a pretty similar person (I do enjoy hanging with my friends/other people more, but I also crave those moments when I can be alone with my thoughts and just observe in solitude - these are more outdoorsy types of moments though).

If you enjoy it, then don't worry about it man. If you want to do something and no one else wants to, that shouldn't stop you from enjoying yourself. But be prepared to be labeled as creepy, or loner. Or just refrain from telling people your activities or that you went alone.

Do what you enjoy.

I personally enjoy being social but a also love having some time to myself alone
 

"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.
