"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 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.

If I were you, I'd try to fix that problem first before going after other chicks so you're in the right mindset. Did you read the Bible already?
teacha

dude you slackin'...not cool.DJ00 said:Should you try to game chicks while you're heartbroken or wait to get happy without women again then start up gaming again?
I've gotten one number of a chick thru myspace tho she might be below my looks standards but not by much.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Monday - She sent me a pic and a caption saying," hope ur having a good day"
Tuesday - "If you only knew by shinedown" (mushy song)
Thursday - "DJ00 Help!" (99.9% sure it was an immature attempt to get a text back)
I didn't take the bait on the thursday text because she's used this to get my attention before(immature fake story).. Tho maybe she wanted me to act concerned idk..
What do you guys think? i was going to keep up the NC until the point where she's pretty much begging to hang out with me but i'm not sure if i should intervene in some way.

decent advice, i'll probably stick to NC for now. there's 2 ways to go about the situation. she's resorted to an immature tactic to get my attention. don't really know what her intentions are at this point. NC could possibly be getting to her but who knows. based on her actions she at least wants my attention.Proselytiser said:Say 'Hey who's this? You've texted me XX times the last few days' as if you deleted her number and don't recognise her
It all boils down to what i want. I want her to feel the emotion that she lost me to the point where she's thinking about me on a daily/hourly basis. At this point im still in the "i can't make her want me" mode. I'd like to keep this mentality until she at least sweats about this until she is almost begging me to hang out with her. It's pretty cut and dry, if this doesn't happen i can't contact her.
Any other thoughts?
"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.
