"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.

In a nutshell, we're both freshman in college and things havent been doing so well with our relationship of 3 months and while she's crazy about me, I'm unsure if I reciprocate those same feelings. It's been a few weeks since we've last seen each other - the longest time apart we've ever had - and she invited me to stay with her and her dad so we could see each other. I haven't met her parents before and I'll be staying at her dad's house for New Years and a day afterward. To me, this didn't seem like such a big deal but when I explained it to my buddy he said it was a pretty big step in a relationship. And honestly, my intentions were to hang out with her one last time to see if I should stay in the relationship or not, depending on how things go, because things have been pretty rocky lately. It is not out of the realm of possibility that I may break up with her soon after if things aren't smooth with her while I'm down there.

Now, I do want to see her, I do want to hang out with her and prove myself wrong, but the distinct possibility remains that I may break up with her soon after. Having said this, should I even go down and stay with her dad? Is it too serious a step in a relationship that is having trouble like my friend thinks? Or is it not that big of a deal, and while it is a step in a relationship, it is just another step and if there is a breakup then so be it.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Go ahead and meet the parents, you may see that how she lives/expects you to live isn't what you want.[mom runs the show,disrespects dad etc.] BUT in her eyes, it's a step forward in the relationship.
