"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.

"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.

Heres the list from bad to best:

Online dating website > Aim > Text messaging > Answering machine tagging > phone > in person.

Only use text messaging when you're in a situation where it is rude or not practical to talk. And even then keep it to the bare minumum.

So if you're just using it to set up a lunch date that's fine, but if you have the option call her.

Obviously texting has a different vibe in the states.

Everyone uses SMS here in New Zealand ...for formal or non-formal talk.

In my experience, you can come off completely misunderstood, and you fdon't see her reaction through msg'ing. Phone or in person is the place for the moves.
 

"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.

Well my ex girlfriend loved texting me. Every morning I would wake up to a text message from her that got me feeling good and wanting her. I would reply the odd time. We went to sep. schools to so we used text messaging alot so we could talk during school. It really depends on the situation. However if we had the chance to talk on the phone or in person then we'd obviously do that.

And you obviously don't want to do any asking out or talk about anything that means anything to you or her over text messaging.

I would call to set things up instead.

My girlfriend perfers to use text messaging over using the phone for most things. She's usually the one texting me and I'm usually the one calling.
