"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.

Ok so Ive been dating this girl for about two months. Shes 25. Within the first week we started having sex. We had been seeing each other almost every day and were supposed to go on a date one night, she flaked and I did not hear from her until the next day. She had started to act weird up until this point. So I told her we needed time apart and to figure out what she wanted between us .

It was about a week until we started hanging out. So now we're seeing each other almost every day again (I know I should limit my contact with her) and I feel like shes starting the same behavior. Recently she admitted to me shes an alcoholic and I know this is a huge problem. But I have feelings for this girl which I usually dont have after two months.

Last night I tried having sex with her and Id get a couple of kisses and she would push me away. She has been acting like this for about a week, not showing as much affection but not as bad as before. I asked her what was wrong and I was told she did not know. So I asked what the hell that meant and she told me honestly it was the alcohol. Which doesnt make sense to me because she drinks everyday and we had been having sex almost every day. I tried to pass out and she takes my hand and puts it on her boob. Im like alright! This is more like it. SO I tried to go at it with her and the same thing happens she pushes me away and tells me shes tired. I tell her that the relationship isnt just about sex and not to test me . She tells me it shouldnt be. So thats how the night ended.

I always get these mixed signals from her. I know she has trust issues because shes been cheated on a lot. She always opens up when shes drunk and tells me she wants to be with me blah blah. But I dont know how much of that crap to believe. My question is really what should I do? Should I not see her as much? Is she scared and trying to see if the relationship is just about sex?

BTW this is my first post and this site rocks :rockon:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Dude red flags or not if she has a drinking problem, you are not going to want to stick around

Even if you care for her, that makes it worse


Alcoholics have mood swings, will cause random fights and shes more likely to bang some other dude

Dont bother with it

Drop this one.. 1) She is playing games and 2) She's an alcoholic

I can hear a future phone call..

"OH METALHEAD83 IT WAS AWFUL, I WAS SO DRUNK AND HE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME! IT WAS THE ALCOHOL!! I WAS DRUNK IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING I PROMISE"

and by then you're oneitis will have developed to a stage where this lame ass excuse will work on you.

This is not acceptable. Don't settle for a woman who makes a daily habit of drinking. It's bad news.


Also, next time a woman pulls the "im tired" and keeps rejecting your advances, I want you to pull ALL of your attention away from her. If that means getting up and leaving, then DO it! Showing that you don't need her will only make her more drawn to you.

I did pull away from her. I just rolled over and ignored when she was talking to me. Then she took my hand and put it on her boob. I knew it was games the whole time but I was thinking with the wrong head. I had severe oneitis over her for a while, I still do a little. Im gonna give her a couple days with no contact. If things keep getting worse the end is near for sure.
 

"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.
