"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.

So I’ve been out of the dating scene for a while due to being in yet another relationship (mutual split after getting bored). Anyway have been practicing talking to women again as I turned into a workaholic and ignored my social life. Must be vibing the right way lately as I have been attracting women pretty easily.
For the last few days have been chatting to a girl that works at a cafe. Great body 8 face maybe a 6 though. I have been working nearby to this cafe the last week so have more or less been practicing some banter/flirting with her as I'm a little rusty. Today she pursed me pretty heavily and we exchanged numbers. She is one of three I have been warming up on and was a little taken back at how quickly she escalated. The others are still flirting with a bit more room before we hit anything serious. I'm not really looking for anything steady, in fact I'm not to sure what I want apart from some primal urge release.
I am literally two weeks out of a relationship, so still have that break up nervousness about banging other women and am wondering how to proceed from here. I'm worried if I take some me time I will start going backwards as I get comfortable making excuses not to talk to women (I'm an introvert at heart). Considering I broke it off with the ex,I feel a bit dodgy dating that soon.
Any advice?
 

"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.

You are doing OK. Keep getting numbers and going out with new women.

BTW, what did you learn from your last LTR ?

That LTR's bore me in the end. Unfortunately spinning plates got tiresome as well and that led me to the LTR. The ex ticked a lot of boxes for the positive but the routine of a relationship just kind of ground me down.

I also have another ex with whom I share a child. I suspected that she was BPD minimum and am a bit worried I may have been affected by that mentally. I was young, had a captain save a ho attitude and was unaware at how attention hors worked. I think I was bitter for a while, but now I'm back to enjoying women on all levels.

Right now I will just keep moving forward.
