"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.

Sorry about the length of this thread, but somebody, please read this.

This weekend, my class (that's 80 people, divided into four smaller classes) was going away far from home, to a place to party. I was going as well.

There's this girl (let’s refer to her as "the Girl") I've been into for some months now. I've been an AFC all my life, but this time, even I could tell that there was definitely a spark between us. After having read enough here, I decided I had to make a move after the Christmas break. On the first day at school, however, I got to hear that she got a boyfriend on New Years Eve (I don't know this guy, and he did not join the trip). So I was thinking like "oh, okay, I guess I have to move on". And I was.

But after this weekend, I don't know what to do anymore. In the early stages of the party I was sitting in a sofa with the Girl and her best friend, just chillin'. I hear that her best friend is whispering to her, but I could hear some of it. One of the things I hear her say is: "I've never seen you being more in love in my whole life." I was thinking, “oh, okay, I definitely don’t have a chance”. The Girl is also looking at her bracelet, and says “aww, he’s so cute”. (Pretty obvious she got it from him). Her friend also whispers something about telling someone something. I don’t know what that was all about, though. But anyway, after this I was okay with the fact that I no longer had a chance with her.

Later that evening, something happened. It was around the climax of the party. Everybody was drunk. I was standing outside, having a good time and talking to everybody. Suddenly, the Girl pops up, and is really upset. She tells me that a guy was trying to kiss her, but that she didn’t have the heart to really reject him, because he’s a nice boy. Anyway, as she’s telling me about his hit on her, he suddenly is standing not far away from us. And as she sees him, she tells me to hold around her, and so I do. Then she says “kiss me”, but puts that back within a tenth of a second, saying “just kidding” (I suspect that she wanted to kiss me, but was a little scared and took it back immediately... maybe a little too much interpreting here). Unfortunately, I didn’t do anything. Later on, she tells me to hold "more around" her, so to speak, as I was her boyfriend.

As I said, I was drunk, so I don’t quite remember the order of all these small occurrences. But I was confident, and I pulled some ****y comments on her, too. And of course, I was in a real good mood… without showing it too much, of course. But then, she walked a few meters to another place, and then she was gone. I didn’t see her again that night. Maybe this sounds a little “nothing to get that excited about”, but she was so into me for those few minutes, I was like completely “wow… what just happened!?”. And for the rest of the night, I was in a real good mood.

Today, I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind either, and now I’m a little lost. Damn it. I was suppose to be finished with her and stuff, but then… I also look at her differently now, like I was having some sort of feelings for her...

So guys, what should I do now? Should I go after her? She always shows interest, and I really like her. This situation drives me nuts…
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Seems to me that she knows you like her. Not so much that she was using you to get rid of the guy that hit on her, but she knew she could.. that could mean either that she is just pretty comfortable with you, maybe she just likes you as a friend... but what I would do is turn off the "i like you" vibe if it's turning off. Just be playful with her, maybe flirt around when she's near you.. just talk to people.. don't make it obvious that it's so she thinks higher of you.. just do it.. show her that you have options, and THEN make her feel like the special lady.... I mean, this is all total guesses, and this is my first post.. but I've had too many times where this has happened.. and only a couple that I turned out to be the "orbiter"... the guy that hangs out, helps the girl.. but never gets anywhere.

As a matter of fact, I don't make it obvious at all that I'm into her. But when we're together, we seem to both flirt. And we're on a 50-50 level in terms of validation. I try to get on top of her sometimes. Yesterday, we were talking about smoking, and that she was going to stop after this weekend because her boyfriend didn't smoke. "How do you know that? Do you know me that well?" was my reply. I haven't really used many ****y comments on her, but I think this was a decent debut.
