"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.

Drunkenly told an ex Fwb old work place were hiring and she's only gone and got a ****ing trial shift. She was hitting me up for the tips for the interview and I was like **** this ****.

What makes it worse is that I'm on good terms with the manager and I really didn't want anything to do with this girl after I ****ed her but she's getting into my social circle.

Serves me right I guess
 

"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.

Ya man, mistake is on you. Just learn from it. I have 2 plates that every once and a while ask if my job is hiring, I always tell them no, even though we are hiring exactly what she is qualified to do. I could never put myself in that position.

Talk to your manager and make her look bad. Subtlety is key though, you don't want to sound like a jealous ex boyfriend.

You: So I heard <ex's name> applied for <job>? What did you think about her? She and I used to date but it didn't work out because she wanted to party all the time whereas I'm more of a homebody, but we're on pretty good terms. There's a little tension still but, you know, time heals all wounds.

Manager's now thinking that she's a potential liability because of the awkwardness between you two creating a negative work environment and because employers generally don't favour people who "party all the time".

p.s. heheh
