"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.

Recently unplugged pondering an LTR possibility

After a 3-year long LTR (no previous experience with women), having beaten a depression and an apathy, having done some serious self-analysis, having read Rational Male and agreed with most of the concepts and ideas - I firmly decided to develop some Game skills and improve my positive (non-existent up to now) masculinity before settling into another LTR.

I really enjoyed spending an evening with a friend of a friend. And then a weekend. And then another evening. No sex. She is 3 years my senior (I am 26). Following Rollo's philosophy, I should be spinning plates (which i have only one of at the moment), but i feel that my world starts being locked on her smile.

On one hand, I don't remember having such a good time with anyone in the last couple of years and with my old AFC mentality I would have kept seeing her, would have kept trying to make an LTR out of it. On the other hand, with the new knowledge, I understand that it is either have sex with her and keep in touch if there is no commitment or NEXT her.

Is it always that black and white? Is my thinking sound?

"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.

1) Stop pondering LTRs with women you haven't even banged.

2) Stop hanging out with women and not doing anything unless you want to be squarely in the friend zone
