"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.

Long story short: oneitis. Add my self improvement and long absence and all of a sudden a new sense of attraction from her. We got close; really close but there was always something. At the end of the day, I think she just enjoyed my attention.

So out tonight for a large social gathering, I play it cool and thank god for going back over The Bible. I am the life of the party, I do everything. By the end of it though I have her beckoning me over and so it was game on.

Then a male friend came past and she started chatting to him. I was completely ignored (sh*t test?). I played fair, hung around for a bit just to make sure the guy (a friend of mine) didn't feel nothing. But then I thought f*ck it. I walked away. I started flirting with every woman at the gathering and number closed a couple disappearing away holding hands with a few. Had I followed through and hit the town, I would have a lay report by this morning (I never realized it was this easy!) but a drunk friend needed a ride home early so being a good guy, I copped it. What a change. She ignored me for the rest of the night; full blown cold shoulder. When I caught her as she left after an early night, it looked like she was in tears. I mean she flirted with other guys too no? Her friends quizzed me after. I was indifferent and told them I won't wait for anyone.

So here I am in bed alone. But guess what, I feel damn good. I think it is one of the articles I read recently that got me through tonight and put simply; self respect. I from this day forth refuse to be some lapdog to ANYONE.

Should I have done anything differently?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
