"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 In first year university, i met this girl in orientation week, when i was hammered out of my mind. It was one of those nights where mostly everythings a blur. So all i remember is her name basically and that she was a blonde. Shes about a hb7-7.5, which i usually can wheel no problem. But due to my obnoxious behaviour, she blew me off..Well the next couple of weeks, i kept bumping into her sober, and thought i could redeem myself, but she was having none of it. She actually started hitting up some uglier guy in my building..it turns out she has alot of friends on my floor, and is over at my building all the time..Since i saw that she was not feeling me due to my bad first impression, i decided to pay her no attention at all, and did my own thing when she was over. Well now 6 months later, i think she finally warmed up to me. Shes alot more flirty, with the fake play fighting (kino). Im not sure how to approach this. Its possible that she just is putting me in the LJBF zone, or maybe my lack of interest in her, has made up for my horrible first impression? sound likely?
 

"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.

Not worth the effort.

She probably isn't interested in knowing anything other than 'Does he still like me?' since you have displayed a lack of interest.

She blew you off anyway - why are you still interested in her 6 months later!

I'm with Beef Jerky on this one... :trouble:

Matter of fact, you mentioned she was put off by your "lack of interest"... you just never stated whether you were interested or not.

If you are, even if she supposedly put you in the LJBF category, it doesn't mean she's off-limits. Just up to you whether or not you step to the plate and take charge.

If you're not interested in her though, then this post was a waste of time.

6 months my fuc*ing god man!

Sort it out i mean really jesus H fu**ing christ dude.

one women a HB 7 also who is seeing other guys in front of you and you still want it.

Man its ONE women, open your eyes there are plenty more out there.

Putting you in LJBF zone?
How the hell can she do that? oh yes you let her or your letting her.

How to get out of LJBF, well its easy, you tell her:

Hey ........... i like flirting and all that stuff, hey who does'nt but i think its time we stepped it up a little :D

Or, hey............ lets go out, me, you! maybe if your good enough i may even date you :D

Or. Hi, .............. i have noticed you seem a little more forward latley, hey i like that, you know if you find me hot, i will totally understand.

E.t.c its called escalation, LJBF stage for crying out loud and 6 months too, man you need a kick in the nuts to show you have a pair.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
