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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
booster said:I was making out with a girl on my bed about to get her to take her clothes off when she said "i was having sex with a guy from (frat name) yesterday and the condom broke."
I never called her again.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
:crackup: At least she didnt say, "damn, you're better than my daddy!"Cabal said:3) After sex. "I haven't been ridden that hard since I was 13. You were fantastic."
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I dont get it. Did you assume her dad molested her or something by that statement. i dont think that was any reason to bail out like that.londonzen said:lol this shop girl i was gaming on the bus(our first out of work convo) i asked her where she was from she told me her mums from somewhere and her dads from somewhere else now i start asking her if she can speak her dads language she goes no, then after a pause remarks "very bad past my dad "
i tell you i went cold and when i got off of the bus at my stop i didnt look back once.
yeah something about the way she said it and the look on her face, then she had a damn why did i say that look,horaholic said:I dont get it. Did you assume her dad molested her or something by that statement. i dont think that was any reason to bail out like that.
