"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 with my gf now for about 8 months or so. We get along well and things had been going fine. Then about 3 or 4 months back, we were chatting one night about a guy she had been dating just before me.

I wouldn't normally ask about somethign like this because I know that kind of sh*t will bother me, but it just kind of came up. She was very vague about it and gave me a few details and that was ok by me. It had been over a few months before we me...that's what she told me since she knew I would never date someone just coming out of a relationship...even if she was the one who ended it.

Anyway, the details she had given me, made me curious about a few things(again some things that if I would've known earlier, I might not have dated her). The conversation always stayed in the back of my mind and would always come back to bother me. I didn't really want to bring it up to her again, because I felt that it was MY issue. Anyway, it did come up some more times over the past 2-3 months and each time the new details she gave me didn't really match with the old stuff. So things continued to stick in my mind and I was really frustrated because I wanted to just get over it and move on further into our relationship because everything else was good.

So flash forward to this past weekend. Things came up for the last time and I explained to her why things had been bothering me. So this time she gave me the true information and then when I asked her a few questions it tripped her up and I discovered that she had lied about a few of the major details like how long it had been since she broke up with him before she met me. I found out that it had only been like a week...and not 2 months like she had lied about over and over.

She told me that she really loved me (more than anyone else in her past)and knew that I wouldn't have dated her if I had known the details earlier on. So she continued to hide things and lie about it until I tripped her up and this late stage in the game.

Anyway, I forgave her for lying. BUt what should I do about it? After our talk she was in tears and felt really bad. I didn't get mad at her, just she realized it wasn't good.

I know that i definetely would have nexted her if I knew this info awhile back...but what should I do about it now? Should I let her off the hook completely and treat her like it never happened when she calls me(she just did but I was on the other line)? Or should I next her or put her on probation? Let me know what you would do. Thanks.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Maybe we're just different, but I don't see this as a huge deal, as long as everything else is going fine.

To me there are red flags and yellow flags (like soccer). This incident has shown you that she can resort to lying in order to get her way. Be careful, keep your eyes open.

I'd book her with a warning and show her the yellow.

What you do from here is your call. I'm not so sure that is grounds for breaking up, but whatever youdecide you were right questioning her honesty. A relationship is nothing but a lie if that is what its built on. No house can stand without a solid foundation. If you do decide to stick around let this chick know you will not tolerate dishonesty in any fashion, shape, or form. If lying becomes a habit for her ...NEXT..!!!!! (After all who wants to date a LIAR?)

Be cool, man. Good luck.:cool:
