"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.

Probably 1.5 years in this one. There were some red flags I looked over at about the 6 month mark. I’ve been concentrating on work the last 2 months to get ahead. She has just started a bit of spiteful bit*ching the last few weeks even though we still go out. I think she assumes I put work over her. It’s not so much, that but I want to get ahead not just work my life away. I’m not living with negative stress as well and even though we had a few talks about the issues. I decided I'm sick of the drama and sh*it.Its a shame but thats life
 

"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.

Typically whatever is happening at the six month mark is a good indicator of basis of the relationship going forward. Typically at that time people should decide whether to "fish or cut bait," whether to continue on as things are or make a major change (change the relationship or walk away). Many times people are so set in the investment that they had put into the relationship during the first six months and don't feel that its worth walking away. Unfortunately, they decide to stay without redefining the nature of the relationship.

question... who ended it?
I ended it, I got lazy round that 6 month mark and probably let this drag on a bit. Possibly I’m a bit selfish with my time atm trying to achieve my goals. I learnt from the first time round that it’s easier to cut and run then try and make two odds fit. I didn’t like the direction it was going either (as much my fault as it was hers),and could not be bothered to argue back with her.
I think I might have willed singleness on. Actually looking forward to it.

Just happy I'm not overly hung up on it.
