"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.

After hanging out with a bunch of friends and meeeting her for the first time, i took her home. On the way home she asked if i date often and what i look for in a girl. Of course I led her know my standard was high. She also stated that i am quiet and not open. She on the other hand is very open and outgoing. Can you read anything from those questions?? What kind of tactics should i use in this case. Thank you.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Good idea.

Good sign on the one hand but might also be a sign that you are kind of passive. Did you make clear that you like her? Do you escalate kino?

Bad idea. Show her that you have high standards by the way you behave. Telling that one has high standards usually will let him appear kind of insecure.

Maybe she is right and you are not open. Seems like you hide yourself behind 'tactics'.

Great.

Seems like she likes you and expects you to do something. Make the moves, that is all you need and should do.

First goal: kiss her.

what does it mean when a girl ask you "what do you look for in a girl" when you just met her a couple of times. Is she interested or just plane friendly.

I'm a female and I'll tell you exactly what she is thinking....

She is interested in you and is wondering if she fits the bill.

NEVER tell her that you have high standards, she will feel insecure, 80% chance will get turned off and put you in the friend zone.

She likes you and is waiting for you to ask her out.

Since you messed up the first time, start complimenting her but don't overdo it.

Good luck!

well all i said is that my perfect girl would has to be ATTRACTIVE (stressed it), independent, responsible, etc.... dont think that is such high standard. The point i was trying to convey was that i have some what of a standard. I was also trying to make her qualify to my standards instead of the other way around. I guess i did more wrong than good.

Let me tell you a story, girl. Most men in here happen to BE here because most of the "common sense" girly-advice administrated to us by female friends happened to be totally off. Not to be chauvinistic, but face it, you have no edge whatsoever by being a girl on giving advice to men.


To the original poster: whenever a girl starts to get you to qualify yourself to her ("you are not open"), stop right there and turn the tables: get HER to qualify herself to you, like you were doing with the high standards thing you had going on. YOu don't want to be in the position of having to make excuses for a girl on the way you are. "Be the prize" remember?

yeepee, a success story here. Asked her to hang out and talk, she took the bait. I was just being my self (laid back) but involved with everything that she has to say. I messed around with her image and blah blah blah. Ended with HER GIVING ME A BIG HUG. I'm very satisfied with the results. Thanks.
