"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.

Thinking We Should End Things...

Today is the 11month anniversary of my girlfriend and I. We met last year, we go to the same college and we've had our ups and downs the past few months. The other day she wanted to end things because I was flirting pretty heavily with a girl I sit next by in my Jan Term class. My girlfriend is in the same class. She has a psychologist whom she sees every week due to a car accident and memory problems, I don't notice a difference though. Anyhow, she comes up to my dorm a few minutes ago and she tells me that she talked with her psychologist about us and that if things continue or don't change, then in 3 months we should end it. My suitemate comes in and says something and she starts crying, we all thought it was fake but I guess it was real. She leaves and she calls me from her car saying that she never wants to come up to my dorm again and she never wants to go to the snow on the weekends again, etc. etc.
We're supposed to have dinner tonight after she's done babysitting, so I ask her if we're still up for dinner, she says she doesn't know. So I'm guessing no.

I don't know if I should just end it now... or try and sort things out.
Yesterday when I was flirting with the girl, we were on the phone that night arguing, complaining, just in an emotional frustration, both of us. It was horrible.
I'd love to sort things out... I can handle these little arguments which I think are blown out of proportion, but I don't think she can handle them. We've had stuff like this happen in the past and it's worked out in the end.

What would you guys do in this kind of situation?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Ah, sounds familiar.

How would you feel, if she started to flirt heavily with another guy right in front of you? Dude, you can flirt with other women, but there are rules to that.

- If you flirt heavily (which you did), don't do it when your girl is around, wait until she's gone.
- If your girl is there, try to include your own girl into the flirting.
- Give her a chance to compete! She'll see you flirting, and try to get you to stay away from her.
- Make absolutely sure that the flirting is not too sexually oriented. If she sees you flirting and you clearly have sex on your mind, then it's a big no-no, unless you're in an open relationship.

-Flirting with chicks when you have a comited relationship is retared
-having a exclusive relationship with someone you don't want to be with in a exclusive relationship is equaly stupid.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
