"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.

Need help with a situation: How do I make the jump to b/f?

Ok here is the situation: I met this girl a week ago, and she seemed really friendly and interested in me, so we agreed to go to a few public events together, and we had a great time. We found out we have alot in common, and we make each other laugh.

The thing is, neither of us have been in a relationship before. We have several more "dates" we want to plan, but the thing is, I don't know if she is looking for friendship or a realtionship.

How do I ask her to be my g/f and not come off sounding lame? How should I pursue this without falling into the friend zone?

She is the one who approached me, and she has been the wanting to call me up, etc. How do I make the jump?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

See with this type of situation I suggest that you progress slowly-the relationship will take the direction its supposed to...enjoy your time with her-dont try to lock her down yet-better yet, dont lock yourself down yet...You have a good thing man from how it sounds...Dont fu*k it up by rushing her-you might lose everything..

Exactly how you are now, things seem to be going great. Just dont become a lap dog, maintain your own opinions, and retain your backbone. In other words don't get all weak in the knees for her, she still wants a man not a pussified boy to do her bidding.

If you want to enter the friend zone ask her to be your GF before she's developed enough feelings for you.

You dont want to get cacapulted into the friend zone ask her to be yoru GF after she's developed strong feelings for you. She'll say yes.

How do you tell? Well, it's not always easy...but her feelings towards you and her connection to you dictate your "status" as either someone she's dating or a BF NOT and I repeat NOT whether or not you ask her to be your GF. In fact asking a girl to be your GF does nothing positive for you at all, it only puts pressure on her to decide in the moment you ask (thus showing why asking can have the two results above) you see? It's stupdi media programming that makes you think you need to ask...not reality.

Let her bring it up when she feels like she has to, otherwise just keep letting things flow and enjoy yourself man. Just relax she's not going anywhere because she likes you...

So should I take her out for dinner, and things like that or is that going too far for now?
 

"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.

Think of it this way Carbert. The girl isn't talking to you because she might be able to get a few dinner dates out of you.

It doesn't matter what you're doing as long as she likes you she'll go where you lead her. If you go on a date, the date isn't about the food, or the place, or the setting (that can help)... it's about the two of you laughing, having a good time, and getting to know one another... while still being an attractive confident man that's leading the show and guiding her along.

A date doesn't have to be traditional...

Go to an amusement park, bungee jumping, coffee shop, have a motorcycle? take her for a ride, dinner at your place, dinner at hers, go play pool, go for a walk in a city (or to into one on an adventure with a few things planned to see)

Options are endless, like freeman said..."if it's your thing, do it" because no matter how pretty or cool she is...if you're not into the same things doing things together will be difficult. Unless she's extremely open minded...

He makes a great point here-if she truly digs ya she will go just about anywhere you suggest-or offer an alternative...
