"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.

Pretty much sums me up.

I met the girl that I had a big "crush" on a few years back.

We used to go to the same "youth project" (for those with problems).

Anyway, after seeing her again over a week a week ago, we had a great catchup, I bought her something special for christmas, we went for coffee the next day..

Then one evening a few nights later, I recieve a text from her asking if I had anything to say. Needless to say, that had me completely baffeld. I text back asking her what she meant. To cut to the chase, my parents have been at it again, spreading rumours about me, in order to destroy everything that I try to build.

I told her that none of it is true, and she then proceeded to say that she didn't care if I had or hadn't done it. I again told her that I am innocent.

Anyway, after a few days of not talking. She invites me to her New Years Eve gettogether.

I accepted, went over there, had a great time, and with a lot of support from other people there, I then (as corny as it sounds..) asked her if she would be my "girlfriend". I don't recall getting a straight answer, and we did talk for quite a while about the rumour.

Anyway, the next day I had an appointment at 4 o'clock in the afternoon with my psychologist. I asked her beforehand if she wanted to maybe go out for a meal tonight, she said yeah and told me to text her later.

I said I would and that i'd call her as well because talking is easier. So I text her, and tried calling her.

She didn't respond to the texts, and the phone just kept ringing.

I sent her a text asking if everything is alright a few hours later. Still no reply!

I'm pretty worried, what should I do?
 

"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.

Honestly I cannot tell if you are serious or not.

Basically you have not seen this girl for some time, you bump into her, buy her stuff and ask her to be your girlfriend? Then you needily text her and call her and wonder why she did not respond?


Care to elaborate a bit?

I suppose you are right.

I have known her for years and we have always had kind of a thing for one another, but neither of us really got around to asking the other one. Mainly because of the hardship we had to endure (and in some things still endure).

I know I probably startled her by reappearing after 3 years, and confessing my feelings.

It really is a very long and complicated story which is why most people will just shake their heads in misunderstanding.

If you need specific information just reply with your questions. I'll see how many of them I can answer. Please note that I might not reply to all your questions if they get "too" personal.

Confessing your feelings or asking a girl to be your girlfriend 99% of the time doesn't work. Even if it does work, it's making you demonstrate neediness and this is a universal turnoff.

You have already pretty much mucked this one up honestly, you may not want to hear it but you may as well delete her number and forget her.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
