"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've been so busy

Not really a question and not necessarily looking for advice either, just wanted to say something...

I've been extremely busy this past week. I haven't even made time to hang out with my friends, even over the weekend, because I've just been so busy both as a student and busy with multiple jobs. Even so, normally I have time I can make for them throughout the week somewhere. Meant to go out this past weekend with a girl I've been dating for five or six months, didn't get around to even calling or talking to her.

Mostly I just wish I had made more time for some sort of human social interaction. I've been stuck at my office or at my desk and haven't hardly said a word to a single person that wasn't a coworker and work related. I miss my girl and I really miss some of my friends whose calls/contacts I haven't even found time to return or even listen to voicemessages.

This week probably won't be any different. I'm in my office right now and I work 14 straight hours again today.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

14 straight hours? My goodness man. I work 12 hours a day on my job and I feel tired,but I work like 4 days in a row each week,then I have 3 days in a row off. So I'm pretty cool with that. All I can say is just hang in there and tough it out. Maybe next week will be better.

I need to be able to pay for school. This is my last year though, so I'm almost there and won't have to both support myself and pay a bunch of tuition. I've been fine most weeks with juggling my jobs (been doing it nearly a year now)... it's just recently they both have been a bit more demanding than usual. It should settle down a bit after this week though.

I'm getting some days off next week. Haven't had a day off since the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, November 25th. Should be nice and am looking forward to it. The girl and I are going out to Disneyland one day, a good friend of mine will be visiting from out of town for another couple days. (I just need to make it there is all)
 

"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.

Why are you giving up sex for money? Get a loan, then go out and have sex with your girl ASAP. All this work is moot if you can't enjoy yourself.
