"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'm generally tired a fair bit, and find it effects other parts of my life.

Then I have a bowl of pasta, and I'm like on top of the world, I feel like I could run a marathon.

But then people tell me that its just the amount of carbs I'm taking in, and that eating too much of the stuff will make me fat.

What should I do?, I'm beginning to love the stuff, but don't want to turn into a fatty overnight.

"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.

Are you overweight now or gaining weight?

Whole wheat pasta is also a lot healthier than regular pasta. I've never tried it, so I can't tell you how it tastes though.

I'm slightly underweight, but am concious that I could put on a bit of fat without really noticing it.

It depends on the type of carbs your eating. Overeating the bad, sugar ridden carbs without burning it off will hurt you in the long run. Combining whole grain carbs with equal amounts of protein and vegetables is works well to maintain body weight.

If you are actively athletic, you can up the frequency of that you eat the protein and carbs because you building muscle and burning off the carbs as energy. Think about taking B vitamin supplements if you are lacking energy.
 

"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.
