"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.

Syncmaster,

One thing you haven't covered is why the two of you broke up. Not that it's any of our business, but if you would care to share, I'm sure everyone here can give you some good insights. There is an great probability that you simply can't pinpoint the "why" of it right now because you haven't had time to hash it all out yet. That's perfectly understandable. However, some of the posters here who went through something similar have had time to do this and maybe they can give you some food for thought.
 

"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.

SYNC: I don't buy it, not at 19. As impressive as your resume sounds with a business, college ambitions, being a troop master and playing in a band sound, it still begs the question:

What on earth are you thinking proposing marriage to the only girlfriend you've had at 19 with all of that going on? As independent and mature as you think all of that paints you to be, all it does is further emphasize what you'd be willing to sacrifice if she had in fact agreed. If, as you say, you've got all this going for you, one would think that you'd realize the committment of effort and responsibility needed maintain success in business, college, community service (scout troop indeed) and artistic pursuits and weigh this into being married to the only chick to ever spread her legs for you.
