"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.

Quick! my date told me last night that instead of the room her and her friends were getting being just for the girls, that now anyone could get in on it *hint hint*. throughout the convo she was trying to help me figure out what i coulld tell my parents that would somehow allow mt to stay out all night, and hence at the hotel (i think she made it obvious what she wants me there for ;) ). please help! what did any of you guys tell your parents or what ideas/BS excuses do you have that you could tell your parents in order for them not to care if you don't come home that night.

keep in mind my first attempt crashed and burned. i told my mom exactly what i would had i not planned on staying at hotel: that i would need my car already at the hotel since that is where the limo would drop us off and that i would leave my date there and join up with my friends after. her response? "do you think i'm stupid? do you think i didn't try the same thing? i know you are 18, but i don't think you should be out tooling around with your friends at 2AM.

My goal is to tell her ANYTHING that will allow me to stay out at least until 5AM. c'mon help a budding dj make his prom one to remember forever. oh yeah tonight we're going iceblocking (Sliding down a big, steep hill on blocks of ice) PERFECT ACTION DATE, especially if you have to run away w/ her from the ranger.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

iceblocking is fun. Just tell her you need to stay out with your girl and if she says no, "what are you going to do". Tell her "im gonna F.uck my girlfriend" would they really care if you explained what you are actually going to do.

b) if they wouldnt let it, then you are already screwed getting their permission, so just dont come home. Leave a note explaining that your not coming home and dont worry and then phone them and tell them its on your bed.

Your mom is probably expecting you to stay out late.

You could always call her late that night and tell her you're too drunk to drive and you're just going to stay the night out.

Only you know how to handle YOUR mom dude.

"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.

What parent doesn't expect their kids to stay out late? What is going to happen really? She might punish you for a couple weeks, you'll live and it will be well worth it.

TELL her you're spending the night at a friends house because you're going to be out too late to come home. don't ask, TELL her. if they say no just tell them you didnt ask, you're responsible, and they don't need to worry.

In this case, you can either ask their permission, or come home the next morning and tell them you fell asleep before you could come home. Thats what I always do, and it usually works.

It doesn't work, they just don't care.

You didn't really tell us what your parents are like. Do you have a curfue? Are they very strict? Stuff like that.

What i did on my prom was tell my parents i was staying at my friends house. I didn't tell them he was throwing a party but they're not stupid.

Don't lowball your parents. They were young once too.

You can either lie, i mean your leaving for college in 3 months. Or you can tell them your leaving for college in 3 months, and then tell them to losen the ball and change.
