"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 a chick who's been texting me the last couple weeks (we've already been on a date and banged) I've noticed an interesting trend in her texts. First of all she almost always texts me first, I rarely initiate.

But for example, today she texts me, and I reply back at 10:20 a.m. Then exactly at 12:20 p.m. she replies with a super long text. Like 2 hours to the exact second. Then the next time she replied to me it was exactly 1 hour to the second, and another time 30 minutes.

I noticed it before like a week ago but I brushed it off as coincidence now I think it's too obvious to be by chance. It's not every time that it's an exact even number but probably half or more.

My question is why the fvck do girls do this? (Or at least this one). Is this common for all girls to do or is this just an isolated case? Is she playing mind games or something?

Why would they text you first, wait for your reply, then say to themselves "I'm gonna wait EXACTLY 2 hours to reply" and then have a pre-written text that they send at that EXACT minute? I mean wtf is this sh*t??????
 

"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.

Because they're playing games. That's what they do.

It's ultimately a test. Next time she does it, ignore that text completely. Imagine she never sent it. If she later asks you about, say: "I didn't see it, I was in the middle of something, must have missed it somehow." <-----something like this.

She'll learn. I almost always wait to respond to texts, mainly because I'm usually busy with something, and don't want to take my energy or focus away from what I'm currently doing, plus I also don't want to get into a long drawn out text convo. Chicks who I'm seeing pick up on this, so when I text them, they snap respond to me, knowing that if they don't, it's probably going to be a while before I respond back.

On a side note, she seems pretty dumb. If she's going to play games like this she shouldn't be making it so obvious with reply in some 30 minute interval. She probably sets a timer, or has some app that does it for her. :crazy:

I just don't understand what the purpose of this "game" is. What is there to gain from it? And I agree it's stupid that she makes it obvious. It's not every time, but it's enough that I've noticed it.

She's mirroring you. I've seen this thing before. Girls aren't stupid and they read up on those love blogs just like we read up on this website. Some advice that they give on there is to respond in the same amount of time that he takes to reply.

Don't waste an iota of your brainpower analyzing this rubbish. Just let her play her games and continue to reply at your own pace and when you feel comfortable.

you could try taking EXACTLY as long to reply to her last text as it took her to reply to yours. haha see if she notices
 

"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.
