"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.

well, i've never been to homecoming (im a sophmore and freshman year i was afc/antisocial) so if u guys have any tips...stuff like the right way to ask the chick. i'll probably shoot for a pretty prep chick (cause i'm danno! lol) and she'll probably have a limo ride going down with friends so i'll just join in on that. i assume i'll have to wear (sigh) a tux and will have to (sigh) dance.

god this is gonna be harder to pull off than i thought. lol
 

"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.

Alright you won't have to wear a tux to homecomming. No one does. (atleast not around here, some people where just jeans and a tee shirt, but I would suggest a buttoned up shirt and a tie and some nice pants).
And dancing kicks ass.

Extra bonus: You will probaly take your tie off sometime you can use it with dancing. When your chick is infront of you (facing either towards you or away from you) throw it around her and use it to pull her toward you.

At my school homecomming is no big deal. Not many people even ask a date to come with them. It is basically any other dance. Christmans dance and Prom are the only formal dances.

Isn't homecoming a little ways away? like school just started and you are already thinking about a dance? Take life one day at a time.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I don't start school till September, but this thread interests me.

I went to my Homecoming Dance for the first time last year (Junior year) and I got so stiff/nervous that I looked like a statue. I can't dance and the one time I tried, :eek: (probably wasn't pretty). It also hurt that hot girls kept approching my friends...while they were with me! I didn't even get a damn look...WTF (and this was before I got real nervous and had no clue what I was doing)??

Oh well. At least I know I can't do worst this coming year lol. :crackup:

So again, I'll be interested to see what the responses to this thread is...it can help a few of us.

If you have never gone to a dance I say just go there and enjoy yourself. Get the feeling of what its like being at a dance. It seems people change a lot at dances, they become more wild and crazy which is a good thing. Don't be too worried about picking up a girl beforehand you can do it at the dance (unless I guess they have a date) Just ask a girl to dance with you and go from there.

Well I am a sophmore tommorrow, but I missed sll of last years dances and I heard that they all sucked. I live on a very limited income so It would take me a while to get a nice suit together.

I plan on wearing a reall hot pair of semi tight bluejeans, A long sleave shirt and a blazer. Shouldn't be that expensive.

I dunno for the shoes.

I used to hate these things. Learn to love them, though - you'll be a happier person. I love wearing a suit, and dancing is fun too - although I didn't think that way when I was 15, I wished I had.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
