"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.

Was this a shyt test?

Went on a date with HB7 the other day - it seemed to go well - C&F, kino, walking arm in arm etc, plus got a text from her next day saying she enjoyed herself.

So two days later I call, chat for a bit and suggest meeting up this weekend.

She says 'I don't think I can make it, I'm moving house'. Now I knew about this cause she'd told me before, but she starts umming and ahhing and saying she might or might not be free.

So I said 'well forget this weekend, you obviously don't have time. I'll call you next week and arrange something - bye'.

Then she says 'well ok but I'm kind of busy for the next month or so'.

Now I may be dumb - but that was a brush off, not a shyt test, right? I mean how could I respond to that - say something like 'well I'm sure you can fit me in so let's meet up next week'.

Bottom line is, how exactly do you distinguish between a brush off - from which you should leave with your dignity intact - and a shyt test - to which you should put your foot down and act like a man?
 

"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.

Lol, I'm in the same situation...

Had date that I thought went well, then called to arrange dinner the following weekend and got the "busy" treatment.

On the otherhand, yours did say something about the whole MONTH (while mine only was "busy" for the weekend)

Maybe it is some kind of test, but I'm not sure what's the best reaction. Certainly you shouldn't get needy and desperate. Be cool, and try once more. I'll try to hint that if she's still busy, that would be the last time I'm asking her out, so if she is interested she should stop playing these silly games...

Thanks Panther.

She didn't exactly say she was booked up for the whole month, just that it might be difficult to arrange a meeting, which to me suggests I am being put on the back burner rather than blown out completely.

Anyway, I'm leaving it a week, calling and hinting it's her last chance, so we'll see what happens.

"I'll be busy for the next month"

hahahahahaha - who in the hell is she, the commander of the armed forces?

This was a blatant, "I don't want to see you again"!!!!! "Do not call me anymore"!!!!

Girls who are interested in you are eager be@vers (no pun intended :D ) to see you!!!

No this is not a shyt test - she is not interested in you enough to give you one!
 

"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.

Well she didn't exactly say it like that, it was something like 'it's going to be a busy month' or something, which got me wondering if it was a 'not interested' or a 'must try harder'.

Anyway, starting a new post on this.
