"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 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.

Like I said, things are only a big deal if you make them a big deal.

If you're being fake and you're good at it, sometimes it will work, but it will never have the same impact on you that coming from a place of genuine confidence and naturalness will have. Once you're coming from this place and you're strong enough to pull it off, you never have to think about stuff like this and it's just like ****ing magic the way women pick up on it. I know that's not a lot of help when you're getting started but it's where you should be headed. In other words, be a stand up guy who isn't afraid of girls. If your gut tells you to say she's cute, then do that, if your gut tells you to grab her and kiss her, then do that. Over time you will sort it out. There is this idea that the goal is to get every girl, I used to think in those terms too. Now I think differently. The truth is you can sample some of every kind of woman on the planet and do this with relative ease, but you don't need to care what every individual woman likes. If some lady doesn't like me or what I've done for some reason, she can go **** herself, and I don't say that bitterly but genuinely, I just don't care because I am into women I get along with not the few I don't
"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.
For the record, I experienced the second scenario Cinamon listed above. It was a disaster. But truth be told it is very difficult to judge which kind of girl she is.Cinamon said:

Those are two questions. Surely you don't like her just because she's cute, right? If she really is stunningly cute, it is ok to acknowledge it in an offhand way. That is not the same as liking her, or telling her that you do. Don't do that. Call her "cuteness" or "blondie" or something that implies she is attractive - and then don't hit on her. That's how to get her thinking about you. Just tease her a little bit and don't be creepy. You'll see her again.
"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.

This is one of my favorites--cool dude said:
You say to her with a smirk, " I have a good friend who would probably find you moderately attractive."
She says all wide-eyed and laughing ," What? Only moderately !"
You, " Yeh, he is kinda picky. Just like me."
I am not going to totally ignore her but just be like whatever.Act like how she acts,friendly but not interested(I can see why with my dumb ass).
