"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'm in my forties and recently got the number to a twenty-two year old. I've never gone this far down the age ladder before. I've usually dated women between five and ten years younger.
What is this uneasy feeling I have? Why am I hesitant? She's nice looking.
 

"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.

First of all, you only got her number. There is a high likelihood that unless you have developed solid rapport already, she will most likely flake. So, don't get too ahead of yourself. And if she does flake, don't take it personally. That is what girls do.

Second, if things do go according to plan, I suggest that you not worry about it, and actually live the nickname you gave yourself on this board.

It's only your ego worrying about whether others will scoff and shame you for dating someone half your age. IGNORE IT!

Look, we live in an age where gays are pushing for the right to marry, but people still cast stones at someone who wants to date another grown, legal adult of the opposite sex, just because she's of a younger age. Of course, these same people see no problem with cougars picking up little Ashton Kutchers.

This "societal norm" is misinformed, and based on the following: 1. May-December relationships are unusual. 2. Older females resent having a guy their age "taken" by a younger babe. 3. Average, frustrated men of all ages resent a guy who can date anyone he pleases. People also will tell you that you're "supposed" to be settling down already. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

Have fun with it and keep in mind that she's young (read: probably immature).

ok thanks, but I cannot see the link. How did that term originate?
 

"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.
