"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.

[04:05:14 PM] HER: nothing rly...i just dont rly want a relationship
[04:05:34 PM] ME: come on ***. is that really the whole reason.

[04:06:41 PM] HER: i dont have a proper reason
[04:07:20 PM] ME: it seemed different when we were together. now you just dont want to be in a relationship? just like that?
[04:08:04 PM] HER: alot of it was physical ***, i dont have any other

[04:09:21 PM] ME: alright. fair enough.
[04:09:24 PM] ME: i have to admit.
[04:09:40 PM] ME: it wasn't going to be long term. the age thing is something that does change the whole thing
[04:09:56 PM] ME: but all the hanging out, i enjoyed it

so there you have it. a nice break up. and i'm kinda glad. i know why too. i knew i didn't really want to be with her. it never felt right. we did have our cuddles and kisses but there was never love. no chemistry. i want love and i want long term. i knew it wasn't going to work out. so yes, in a way i'm glad this happened. we're still friends too. so it's all good. just thought i'd share that with you guys.
 

"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.

The most important thing to note is that the two of you enjoyed yourself while it lasted. Usually when people break up, that's not what they think about. It is rare too that both parties will feel that way.

I know its hard to avoid being curious as to why why why!!!

but its better not knowing the reason, because truthfully, they will never give you the real reason.. or anything that can possible come close... but they wont get closure unless they are able to give you their pathetic reasons... which is why I don't give them a chance...

Its just one of those anomolies in relationships.... I've learnt to move on faster than you can say "flynn"

she is 16!!!!

Dating with Disaster.

Hay-Suess man you can go to Jail for that kinda ****e!!!!!

Good for you for having a great break up but slap your self for getting with an infant.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

no i don't live in the usa. it's legal where i am. and the age thing didn't bother me as she was mature and it felt like i was seeing someone my age. but yeah, didn't really work out after all anyway.
