"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.

No problem Approaching, just setting up a date

Hi there,

Now while I am still improving on my approach game, overall I feel that I easily connect with girls and (with my good social skills) can continue a conversation provided she's down. However what I find is my biggest problem is after I talk to them and get a number they always flake out on setting up a date. Maybe it's my texting style or maybe they can sense my loneliness I just don't know but does anyone have any advice? This has happened the past few girls and I believe it is my insistence on getting the date instead of small talk? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I feel this is holding back my day game.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Yeah, don't come off desperate, hun. I'm sure the guys here will give you better advice, but maybe do the small talk... intrigue them, then go for a, "Hey what do you say we grab lunch?" type of line. Girls who just meet a guy and (he) doesn't want to do the small talk before asking them out is kinda creepy and sends off red flags. Just my two cents.

Something that I've noticed recently (especially with women your age 18-22) is they don't necessarily like official dates. It's much better to act like you're going to do something anyway and she if she wants to come along.

With two different chicks, one 18 the other 21 when I tried to setup "dates" they basically told me, "they didn't want to promise anything without knowing what life had in store" etc ..basically saying if something better came up, friends/family needed help, etc...

So try being less formal about hanging out and it'll be a lot easier.
 

"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.
