"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.

Thank you for the support. I couldn't really do this earlier because we were work friends and even though I knew she was enjoying the attention it was a fun way to pass the day flirting with her and did not take her seriously-at least until she kissed me which confused me and gave me false hope and made me start chasing her.

But yeah now we no longer see each other every day at work there is no benefit from being friends and it is purely for her benefit. So that gives me some conviction to keep ignoring her. And while she is acting all confused she knows that the few times we met up since we stopped working together I tried to make a move and she turned me down so knows that I'm not interested in an asexual friendship.
Unfortunately that is all she wants so end of the road. But it has been a good lesson
 

"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.

Well she’s just going to have to find another sucker because you’ve woken up and moved on. Stick to your guns and ignore her! She will have friends come up to you to ask what’s wrong, you will be tempted to talk to her but don’t! It may not seem like it but you’re doing the best thing you can do. She MAY even text you one last time trying to trick you into thinking she’s thought things over and wants to date you, it’s a lie and a trap don’t fall for it.
