"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 I met this girl, got really close to her, and found she has a long-distance boyfriend going on who wont be in the area for a few years. Sounds like me when I used to be AFC and have cyber-relationships :D .

So, what should I do? I feel like an ******* if I move in for a relationship with her because the same happened to me when I was AFC.

Any tips on how move out of the 'understanding of the painful long-distance relationship' friend area and into a more interested in dating area. She already said she would have dated me if she wasnt in a relationship.

Just all the time im thinking of this I feel like such an ******* cause this happened to me. Oh well, what goes around comes around.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Are you kidding? He won't be around for a few YEARS??!! Definitely go in for it. It would be one thing if you guys were in your twenties and her boyfriend of 4 years was off in Iraq, but in this situation there's no reason the relationship between her and that guy should still be going on.

Look out for yourself. What if some total AFC dude got with her cuz you didn't?

I couldn't deal with that sh*t, ever. Go for it. Make yourself fulfilled.

I agree with the other guys. There's no reason as to she would still be with a guy who won't be back for another 4 years. If she's still stuck on this guy, however, I'd move to another girl.

i seriously can't get the meaning of long distance relationships. i've been with my girlfriend for over 1 year now, but in 2006, i'll have to move to another city (wich is less than 90 minutes away, not very distant)... well, i'm sure i'll break up with her... let alone if i were to stay distant from her for years...
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
