"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.

I've read a bit about some of the tests men are subjected to...

I'm curious... What tests or questions do you have/use in order to further qualify a woman you may be considering exclusivity with?

This is one that stands out from the other 'plates' you have been spinning...
 

"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.

good question..I ask about their previous relationships. Things like How they broke up,if she cheated ( I phrase it differently to throw them off), hows their relationship now. If she states the obvious then well, she gets her walkin papers.

MOST times you don't need to ask. Since they never shut up, they'll TELL you as long as you listen.
Yes indeed. Very true. Women will tell you all that you need to know about their attitudes, about their past relationships and about how they treat men.
It will all be innocently wrapped in "I was the victim" statements, but the truth is in there if you listen.

Great advice, listen - objectively.

Mentally replay past conversations. If you have been with her long enough to think about exclusivity, you should have spoken about everything that matters to you. If you haven't, it's too early or the relationship is too superficial. I like the replay option because I am more objective with a rerun than "live".
