"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

After 4 straight years of University life, I have now joined the workforce and it is not fun.

I was extremely active with University life. Everyday was a new and exciting adventure, I was always busy with something, either it be studies, clubs or whatever. But now since I have joined the workforce, I realize my life is not exciting anymore as I often find myself bored after work. I feel that if I spend even one day doing nothing, I am wasting my life away.

I believe that I need more hobbies. Current hobbies of mine are snowboarding and b-boying. A new hobby I have picked up is reading books and I might start learning a new language in the next couple weeks.

What are your hobbies(outside of work)?
 

"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.

Goku, first off I think you should be grateful for having a wonderful four years of University life for it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

I think you should see your current situation as a great opportunity to be creative and look for new ways to see the fun in life.

My question is - Do you love what you do? If you love what you're doing, then most of the time you wouldnt be bored.

I think you either have two options, change your job or learn to love what you do.

My hobby is my job.
 

"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.

I love my job, and my hobbies are lifting weights, robotics, radio controlled models, photography and whatever short term interest I have at the moment.

"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.

Well i hope you don't mind sharing a few tips :up:

I DHV on everything I sell, and I sell stuff that I think will sell, plus I sell a lot of stuff that I think will sell. Idea is to make a lot of sales, because sales equate to money... Money buys you freedom so you can do other things..

What do you want to know specifically?

I'm currently in school. I play guitar, write songs, work out, snowboard and do some aggressive skating (rollerblading). Also I just started another band with some of my good friends back home. Looking forward to jamming with them over break.

Bboying sounds pretty cool. I wish I knew someone who did it. Join the gym man. Or learn an instrument. That should take up some time :up:
I used to have rollerblades TRS in all white. Sick skates, huge sole. than I had shima 3s back in the days. I stoped skatin 3 years back though.. right when i started hittin rails haha. Good for you buddy.


My hobbies are trying out new beers and working out.. I wished I still played base ball.

Considering all the random words censored on this forum, you could be the freakiest weirdo alive for all I know.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Learning to fly an airplane - I do this for fun - but it's an expensive hobby, so much so that I may just go once every month, or other month - but that hour is really worth it.

one of these days I'll learn to "spin", that is to take a plane down on a nose-dive while rotating it around and then leveling the altitude - that's one freaky lesson I'll be looking forward to - hopefully I wont barf from the g-force on that maneouver.
