"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.

Alright... don't know who else to ask on this one. I usually don't ask for advice, so forgive me if this isn't the place for my questions.

So, lets's get to it. I dated this girl last summer. She moved away and we ended our relationship naturally. Well, she'll come into town occasionally and we have some mutual friends. They'll go out as well as I will with friends and what not. What ends up happenig is we'll end up being at opposite ends of the bar not speaking. I do it out of respect for the assumption she doesn't want to speak to me. We haven't spoken since we broke up. But we end up having mutual friends and I won't get to bs with them. So what is to be done...

I mean do I be a **** and just go say hello anyway. Or just continue to ignore the issue.

The problem is when I am avoiding, end up not gaming at all or even bs'in with friends. And basically just be a bar fly.

It seems pretty juvenile to me. But I'm just trying to be respectful.

Advice... figured I'd ask the experts.
 

"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.

If you cower in the corner it makes you appear as her b!tch. Why not be social with everyone there, including her.

Don't focus on her, but don't exclude her from you being a genuinely fun guy to hang around and have laughs with.

What Karma said.

Just talk to her like a regular person. No need to be all gay about it.

Yeah just talk to her dude, ask how she's doing, ask how she likes the new town and just shoot the sh1t with her. Unless she freaks out and hits you with a bottle in there because she's nuts, nothing bad will happen.

You probably appear like a scared little dog to her and your friends by not communicating.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
