"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.

Sorry for the long read.

About two weeks before prom I fell for a girl who wasn't necessarily my "type" (I know that because when I look at similar-looking girls, I almost gag), although she is a really nice girl. I have never been in a relationship with a girl before or ever kissed one for that matter (however, I am not a virgin. Thank you booze.) We had been friends for months before that. I asked her to prom and she said yes, but seeing as I was completely blinded by love, I misinterpreted her "yes" as chance to be more than just friends. I realize now that that wasn't the case. She indeed wanted to go as just friends.

Prom was rather awkward. We went with her friends and none of my f*ck-up friends were eligible for prom, so I was alone most of the time. In addition to that, I was really shy for some reason and didn't get the chance to tell her how I felt that night, as I originally planned. I did however, gather up the courage to ask her to dance.

The following Monday, in school, I told her how I felt. She rejected me as I expected, giving me the old "I'm not looking for a relationship right now" speech. I knew it was my pus$y little timid self that ruined my chances. We stopped talking even though I sit side by side with her in three different classes. Graduation came and I really wanted to say bye to this girl because I knew I wasn't ever going to see her again. I texted her the day after, asking if I can say farewell to her in person. She never replied.

That was three days ago. I can't stop thinking about her. I have never teared up until now. I have this constant feeling in my gut and head. Other girls who I know are much better than her, are not. It really does feel that my life is over and that I have no more purpose. Sh1t, I even joined the Army because of this.

Since this is the first time I have ever felt like this, I wanna ask you guys for advice. How long is this going to last? How do I deal with it? How do I fall for someone that will actually give me a chance?

I really don't care for sex. I just want a nice girl that I can be with and love passionately, and who will feel the same towards me.

Thank you for your time.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

DROP HER. According to your post, she hasn't shown a SINGLE sign of interest. SHe obviously is not interested if she didn't text you back. Sorry, but you're not alone, in fact 1000s of people out there go through this in worse situations than you. Just letting you know you're not alone.

I also met a girl about a month ago and we initially showed high interest in each other. Then the interest between us two kinda died down but recently something inside me ticked and I was like "man i'm in love with this girl." So I started texting her and calling her, and she just didn't respond. I was like "wtf, dozens of girls think i'm cute, what happened?" Yeah it broke me up inside and this was the first time experiencing this, just like you, but I also learned to get over it. Talk to your friends, they'll help you by giving you reassuring words such as "f*ck *****es!" and you'll be back in game in no time.

Thank you for the replies. Now that I don't see this girl at all, I'm starting to see that she wasn't as special as I thought. In fact she's quite the opposite of what I'm looking for.

I've learned a whole lot these couple of days browsing through the many articles this site has, and I must say I am enlightened.

Today I tried out these lessons and went up to a much cuter girl and said "hi". She became a little nervous and began adjusting her hair as I tried to make conversation with her. I hope these were good signs. I didn't ask for her number because this was just a proof of concept for me.

Would it be okay if I ask questions in case I need a little help later on?

Thanks.

Of course it would be okay, that's what the forum is for.

The more questions you ask the more you will know. Have you read the dj bible yet?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
