"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.

Not sure what to do

Heres the background:

I met this girl when she was a junior in HS and I was a freshman, she used to hang out with my sister but after my sis graduated they didnt really keep in touch.

when I was a junior I saw her at school one day and I was outside and she offered to give me a ride home, I asked for her number and she gave it to me (i lost it)

Some months ago I was at work (mall) and I saw her, and we started talking and yiddyyiddyyada and got her number again.

Called her to invite her to a party and she refused....(cant remember the excuse). So I say to myself, fine, shes not interested, and let it go.

About a week later I get a TXT msg from her "Hey, what are you up to?" then we texted back and forth and talked and then she didnt reply anymore so I just nexted her.

Now 2 weeks ago I met her at college again, we talked and I invited her to another party which as on a saturday and she told me she couldnt, but thats he was going to a party that friday and if I wanted to go with her. So we go and the party was kinda whack but we danced anyway.

We kept calling each other throughout this week and met for lunch thursday after class. which brings me to the point.


We were talking just chit-chat and then she asks out of nowhere "do you have a gf?" to which i reply "No, but would you like to be?"(C&F), she laughs and says "Im too old for you"(shes 21, im 18) and then she goes on, I'am 25 years old, of course I knew she wasn't so I bust her on it......and then she goes to say soemthing along the lines of "dating older women is the new trend now no?" and then she asks me why I dont have a gf and I ask her the same thing, to which she tells me that a year ago some guy hurt her or w/e. This convo really didnt lead anywhere but Im wondering if she really meant the "too old" thing.......personally I dont care if she was 50 but Im worried that she believes that It wouldnt work out because of age.

So after that we go walking around and go to the bookstore and we have 'estimulating' conversation etc, and then I saw that she was showing a lot of body language so I went for it, I tried to grab her hand as she tried to hug my arm but I didnt notice in time so I was reaching her hand and then she moves it away and says "not the hand, that reminds me of that *******" At this point I just gave up, we kept walking around talking but I wasnt showing any body language or anything.

We walk to our cars and I thank her for coming , she thanks me and kisses me in the cheek, I say bye and she adds "See you around?" to which I dont reply.(just wanted to eject)

I don't know if I should contact her again or wait and see if she contacts me first, she was sending mixed signals, and that bf thing was weird. (I held her hand at the party the week before)

I need advise on what to do and how to approach this situation.

I apologize for the long read :rolleyes:
 

"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.

I would wait for a few days, and then try and get in touch with her, if she dont awnser after a few times, leave a voicemail, if you still dont hear back from her, shes not interested.


If you can get an older woman, do whatever you must (short of becoming AFC again) to keep her around, older women are the sh!t when it comes to sex!

ya sounds like she is sending mixed signals

since she is older maybe she is testing to see how persistant you are. I say that you should give her a call and ask her what her schedule is like for that week and invite her to do something on a day she is free.

Thats the thing, we both work and go to college so we barely have any time on our schedules.........she did tell me that she has tues and wedns off work though........

I still havent talked to her since that day.............she hasnt even TXT msged me or anything......? I don't want to come off as needy !

But what should I do? call her tomorrow and set something up for tues? or let it chill for a while til I bump into her at school?

She seems to be not over her last BF or something?

Man when she asked me Why I don't have a GF I froze up........only could think of C&F statement that I said, but would have been bad if I had said "Because most women like to test guys and play mind games and I don't have the time or patience to deal with that"?

"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.

There's a term for this: DAMAGED GOODS.

If this is already preventing you from being intimate with her, IMAGINE what it will be like when you two are DATING! Is that really something you want to deal with?

Ok I TEXTed her "Hey X, would you like to do something tomorrow?"

and she replied "Hey X(she called me by my middle name....odd)...I can't tomorrow since I'm going to be busy"


:rolleyes:

Is this a dead end? should I just let it slide and see if she reaches me within the week and if not then NEXT her?
