"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.

Umm, So i got this chick's number and called her today but she didn't pick up nor returned my call.

Also, consider the following
She didn't know who called her because I didn't give her my cellphone number yet

and I didn't leave a message on her answering machine telling who it was who called


SOOOO, should I or would it be ok to:

A. call her the same day again until she picks up
b. call her tomorrow and hope she picks up again
c. call her and if she doesn't pick up, let her know that it was me who called
d. leave her text message letting her know it was me

anyone been in this situation? let me know how you would handle this

Thanks!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Listen more to them guys... Many girls won't pick up their phone if its NO ID or some foreign phone number.

So, leave a freaking a message.

It applies to your level of game, and what works for you.

Usually, I'll drop a message, call me back, and I'm off to do whatever else. No big deal.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Wow, this is INDEED a unique problem! Nobody has ever called a girl and gotten her voice mail before! I applaud you, sir, for your trailblazing sense of discovery!

Next time, please laud us with your totally new, heretofore unknown tales of meeting girls in bars!

After that, perhaps you could clue us all in on the hot new trend of girls who say, "I have a boyfriend" when you ask them out!

I, for one, am always ready to hear about these excitingly unique problems!

Seriuously though, leave a message. Just don't do it 20 times obviously.

I called once, and her mother told me that i had the wrong number. I then went to my friend's gf(her friend) and asked her what her # was, and it was the same number.

i called again in 5 minutes and she picked up

Alot of ppl won't pick up the phone if they don't know recognize the number or name, me included.
 

"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.

All I ever do is call without blocking ID, and leave a very brief message ("Hi, this is {my first name}, call me at {best # to call me} when you get a chance"). Or if there's something I want to invite them to join in, I might mention that. The interested ones always call back.

definitely "A. call her the same day again until she picks up"

but really.

call once... call again the same day a few hours later or the next day and if no answer, leave a message saying who it is, and your number. cut to the point.

and how the hell is this a unique problem?

its as typical as it gets... you get a chicks number... and obviously she wont know your number unless you tell it to her thru voicemail... or if she answers, or if she gets it some other time.
