"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.

Using woman as live-in transition

Summary of my situation: Recently divorced 50-year old with the body and spirit of a 35 year old. Ex-wife of 20 years became a liberal, asexual man-hater (especially when Trump won in 2017). Did OLD for a few months and found a recently-divorced woman I could connect with (similar interests, etc.). (perhaps mistakenly) Decided to move in with her as a way to provide some 'residential' stability (i.e. luxury 3BR apartment in an area beneficial to me - work and travel-wise - but, we're both on the lease), after I sold my house (ex-wife bought me out of my equity) while I continue to work on myself physically and financially. Problem is....her 16YO slob son lives with us as well as 2 yappy/barking dogs. I work from home and often find their presence annoying. Sometimes, I even feel like I am being used as a dog-sitter - feeding/walking during my workday. Our lease is up next March (2023), and I definitely will be moving on at that point, if not sooner.

Question for you folks: Has anyone 'used' a woman as a live-in transition period while prepping for a move to better circumstances? Just looking for some anecdotal stories, out of curiosity. I know I made a mistake moving in with her, and have realized - through experience - the error of my way. Sex with her is OK, but she is too insecure and hyper-sensitive for a LTR.
 

"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.

You knew they were there when you decided to move in together correct?

This sounds like a rebound for you that you way over hyped.

Especially considering the sex isn't great.
