"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.

EDIT: Digging through my memory, I came to a moment that may have been the hinge on which our relationship turned. A few weeks ago, I told her I loved her. We were having a really intimate moment, and some voice in my head said "She'll eat it up! Go for it!" Of course my feelings weren't that strong, but I said it anyway. Yes, she ate it up... AT THAT MOMENT. I want to strangle myself for saying that.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible while making it as informative as possible.

My girlfriend of about 4 months used to initiate conversations all the time. On facebook, text... whatever. We both suggested when to hang out. We were both very open. Sex made us closer than we were before, and everything seemed great.

Unfortunately, the last few weeks have made me rethink our relationship.

We're both in high school, and over the past few weeks she's seemed more distant. She's less willing to talk about sex, rarely initiates conversations, and is just distant. I'm afraid to bring this up because I don't want to seem weak, which is obviously the last thing I would want to happen. I can't think of anything specific that made her change, which is why this whole situation is just mind boggling to me.

So right now I can't see us breaking up, but things have faded from where they used to be. How exactly do I proceed? Should I text her only once or twice a week? Should I talk about how I feel?

I used DJ techniques to get her to be my GF, but I feel like I've slipped into AFC mode lately... is there any way to salvage this relationship?

"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.

Well,if you're sure that there isn't another guy in the picture that's drawing her attention away,then it's probably just her attraction level for you is running low.

If that's the case,then don't worry,this can EASILY be repaired.

No,no and no. No to the 5th power. Don't EVER do this.

Well if it's just her chemistry getting low,then yes.
