"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.

So, I messages this girl on PoF. She replied, told me how cute the picture of my sister and I is and how much she likes my uniform (I'm in the navy), talked about the weekend and work. There were ten messages all together, including the opener and the number.

So I text her almost straight away:
Me: Hey, it's Tim from PoF x
Her: Hey sailor :) xx (she took about 40 minutes to reply so I took an hour to respond)
Me: hey, I'm gonna go to sleep now because I have work tomorrow. I'll text you if I get a chance though [genuinely mean that. I'm on some counter terrorism exercise most of the week]. night x
Her: okay then :) Yeah, please do :) Night, sweet dreams. X

So I reckon I'll wait until I finish work at noon, then gym it up and try to set something up for through the week. My text game is atrocious, though
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but I really don't have "text game". Especially when it comes to those online dating sites.

Me and the girl will have 2 or 3 email exchanges. On the very last message I'll say something like, "We should grab a beer some time this week. Here's my number. What's yours?"

Once I have the number, the only "text game" I use is, "Hey it's Iceberg. I was thinking we should get a drink at (Bar) on Thursday. How's that work for you?"

There were ten messages all together, including the opener and the number.

I mean, to be blunt, after 10 messages, what more "game" is left? You said all that you could possibly say via electronic communication. The only thing left to do is MEET and see if you like each other. At this point, in my experience, the WORST thing you could do is "game" her via a new form of communication. Know what I mean? Like, after POF game, you graduate to text game...So what's next? Facebook game? Twitter game?

In summary: No more game is necessary. Either this girl wants to meet or she doesn't. Invite her out. Game her in person.

Exactly what Iceberg and Bradd said.

Have a plan to meet up. No time for twitter texting or running some nonsense game on text.

One, two, three emails on POF. Grab number. CALL or text to setup meet. No time to let them 'think' or get comfy playing texting tennis.
