"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.

Texting a girl, confusing situation which I won't go into but basically she asks to come round for a chat, hug, whatever etc.

I go back with sure, I'm around, but need to grab a shower and i'll text her when she can head over.

Her response? 'I've just found a good article for an essay I need to write and it's due soon, so maybe I'll see you tomorrow."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this one :D

If it's legit than that's jokes, if it isn't then it's still jokes!

Needless to say I'm not replying to this one.

Yep don't reply.

Women are weird creatures. They literally change their mind every 5 seconds. So there's a bit of that but also she knows it's going to feel like a missed opportunity for you and its her trying to establish her value. Blank her and she'll probably stay in a huff for a while then eventually her barriers will come down and she'll chase you.

She'll come around if she has interest. Though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Flaking is a sign of low interest. I delete the number when I get flaked on.

Case closed.

Haha yeah felt like she was just dangling **** in front of me, establishing her frame etc. Not even 60 seconds passed between my response and her own. Well **** that!

And Nismo, I won't mate. It's a complicated situation I've got myself in here so I can't cut and run (just take my word for it) but rest assured I'll be on point.

I'll give you props on not replying to her text.

Still, let her chase you. Or, if you decide to ask her out and she flakes again, she must be dropped. The low interest will be clear as day.
 

"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.

I'll humbly receive those props Judge Nismo! ;)

Yeah balls in her court, I'll work it from there.

Let her come to you, don't initiate any further contact with her.

She'll probably text you out of the blue next time she's in the mood for c0ck.

so maybe I'll see you tomorrow.
This is the real test here. "tommorrow" is today? Since she said this^ she's thinking your going break down and text her today. If you don't then you've passed.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Nice.

If she's playing games, which it seemed like she was (consciously or sub-consciously), and you recognize it, then it's actually rather easy to flip the switches on her, if done correctly. Most important thing for you is to stick to your guns. Easiest way to do this is to keep busy, and.....wait for it....spin plates. Simply telling a woman that you're busy so you can't see her does wonders in this regard. No need to be an a$$ or get emotional, just keep it civil and just let her know you can't see her at that time. YOU decide when you two are going to meet up. In essence, she should be changing her plans for you, not the other way around.
