"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 met this girl who is 5 years older than me and we were hitting it off pretty good. She asked me for my age and when I told her she said oh wow that makes me like a cougar! At different points of the night I teased her about being a cougar. I got her number and we've been texting each other ever since. Yesterday I saw an ad for the show The Cougars and I texted her saying So I saw an ad for that one show the Cougars, guess who it reminded me :) she texted me back saying haha hmmmmm. I then changed the subject and asked her how her day was, etc. I thought it was clever because it shows I was thinking of her, but now I'm thinking if it was lame or not? Thoughts?

I kind of realize this is a pointless question because we're still talking and it doesn't seem like it has affected our relationship, just basically wondering if sending these kinds of texts are okay?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It's fine. Just don't make it an everyday thing unless she is reciprocating with something similar. Women like to laugh but they don't want someone who's a clown. A clown meaning a guy who thinks it is his job to make a woman laugh.

Thanks for the response! Yeah I won't do that too often, it really did remind me of her though and I thought it would have been cute.

You shouldnt be telling her you are thnking of her. Thats killing attraction.

Why are you texting her rubbish, keep it to a minimum and get her on a date asap. Unless you're trying to make friends?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

??? I was told women love it when they know you're thinking about them. Obviously I'm not going to do it all the time, it's just something cute I wanted to text her.

Its nice to tell them you saw something and it reminded you of her. Once in a while. Shows you have feelings and that's the way to seduce a high quality women. Wh0res are a different story.
