"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.

I am by no means perfect nor never claim to be. I think my biggest flaw that i have is that I have a tendicy to overanalyze situtations.

not only that, it wouldn't be so bad if that was all, but when you do it, you never come out the victor in your mind. No one, well I haven't ever over though something and ever came to a conclusion that was actually in my favor.

Like today, my GF has been in a funk all day long, I can just tell. so in my head, man what the **** have you done. so i'm really raking my brain trying to figure out what I did... and of course, it's something I did because my mind is never wrong lol and i just wont' leave well enough alone.

So she finally sits next to me and i ask her what's wrong. she says nothing. And by now me and my sick ass has already decided it was not only something wrong, but we have decided that it was somehting I did wrong.

She was just not generally in a good mood. you know how you wake up late sometimes and you ust dont' start the day off right and it just carries on... had nothing whatsoever to do with me.


That's something I need to work on, any advice?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'm the same way. Sometimes it is just female hormones, but I can only take so much of a girlfriend's bad mood before I start to take it personally.
