"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.

She seems interested, but is she really?

Hi all,

I'm a college sophomore looking for some thoughtful advice here--I have had girlfriends and what not, but the last time I approached a girl who I wasn't simply trying to hook up with but wanted to maybe date was some time ago. That being said, I met somebody this weekend that I liked quite a bit, and I don't want to **** this up. Hopefully you can help.

I went to an event w/another date, and at this event was a girl who I had met very briefly in the past and enjoyed talking to. This night, we both came to an event with people we weren't interested in and hit it off together. She was consistently complimentary of me (telling me at various points that I was handsome, charming and that it 'took a lot of self control not to make out with you right there'. All in all, we seemed to have a pretty good rapport, I got her number, and she went home with her friends.

Later the next night, she posted something at least mildly playful/flirtatious on my facebook wall, to which i replied. I sent her a text message the following day (Yesterday), with something related to her post, and she replied a couple hours later with yet another facebook post and a text. I responded via text a few hours later, late at night, and she did not respond and hasn't responded today. All we've been talking about is music, as we are both musicians, but i want to try and move it beyond that/get out on a date with her.

We are finishing finals now and will be on break for a week, so I don't want to do anything and see the momentum broken. I also don't want to let this slip away. What's the course of action between now and the start of next term in 13 days or so? Anything at all?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Too much txt/facebook talk!

Call, arrange date, sorted!

She accepts, she's probably interested. She doesn't, she's probably not interested.

My thoughts exactly. She texts, you send a Facebook message a few hours later. Then the next day, you text again. She replies. You send a Facebook message.

You think you're keeping momentum, but you're really just becoming boring and predictable. I mean, you're not married. You're not even dating. So why do you have to be in touch with her everyday? My actual girlfriends might hear from me every 2-3 days. You're giving her all this attention before she's even earned it.

Anyway, it's easy. Just invite her for drinks. She says yes or she says no.

This texting and facebooking sh*t needs to stop.

Unless you just want to be her Electronic Platonic Friend. Boring sh*t. And you're doing it now. Talking to her daily by any means shows that you have little to no options.

Use the phone to set up a date and work your magic in real life! Whether or not she's interested depends on if she shows up FOR YOUR PLANS.

Case dismissed.
 

"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.

Agreed with all of the previous. It's been a couple of days and the feeling resulting from your charm has worn off a bit. Phone her up, make some idle chit chat, and ask her out.
