"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.

Hey,

Have some questions on EYE CONTACT..............

Yest i decided id try and smile at as many girls as i could.

So......

As i was on the road i saw an average looking girl in the car next to mine.

As she turned she caught me looking at her n when she did i gave her a
smirk....she kinda looked at me blankly and just kept staring....huh ?

Anyway traffic was moving so moved on.

Next i see another chick....we make eye contact and i smile.She looks at
me like i have no right to smile at her.....yikes

By now i was beginning to feel really *****y.

See a 3rd girl and decide to try again.So i smile and she has this embarrassed look
on her face.So i maintain eye contact and as we drive by i see her following my gaze.

After this i saw 2 more girls seperately and i realised both had spotted me before i
had seen them and were staring at me.But when i looked at them directly they turned away
and acted as though they had never seen me.So i never got a chance to smile at them.

Sorry for the rambling as usual but now here my question or should i say questions.........

1- Is there a particular way of establishing eye contact ie do you make eye contact first
and then smile or do you just smile as you make eye contact ?

2- If like in my case what the 3rd chick did.....if a girl maintains your gaze and turns her head to keep
looking is she trying to say shes open to be approached or interested ?

3- Why did the last 2 girls stare at me for ages and then when i look at them they never look again ?

Looks like yest was a bad day for me :-(

Cheers
 

"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.

Hey well either you're doing the psycopath smile.. or you just had a bad day .. OR they were just cold women that had their own issues.

Point being.. don't worry about it too much and keep going. For a *good* way to smile at a girl.. get the movie Alfie with Jude Law out and watch how he smiles at the girls that have just said something like "Look at that Euro trash"

Thats a proper smile.. looks genuine and friendly.. sometimes when you try and force a smile it can look odd.. so have a look in the mirror and see what your smile looks like when you are smiling at women by force... if its a weird ass look fix it. :D

Pickups from your car are much more difficult than in person. People tend to have a "me against the world" attitude while driving, and even looking at other drivers can make them uneasy. At least it's that way in the States. I don't know if the UK has as much road rage.
