"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.

So I texted a girl im talking to, to ask if she wanted to come over to watch a movie i rented...her reply was "I'd be willing to go out to a movie if there's anything you wanna see"

what is she implying? any thoughts, i have a few but id like to hear what everyone else has to say about this.

ps. this would be our official 2nd date. but we've been talking quite a lot on the txts.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

I think she is saying she would rather go to the movie theatre. Maybe, also hiting a movie she has been wanting to see? Maybe, the new sex and the city movie...

Now the question is why in the hell are you talking "quite a lot" on txt? Be a mystery; be busy attracting other women; etc. If you're not careful, this txt stuff could be your downfall. Call on the phone; set-up a date; get off the phone within 5 minutes; do your DJ gaming in person on the date! Trust me on this one.
Thanks Don I'll definitely have to start txting less...ill just tell her im running out of txts so then it will have to result in us actually hearing each others voice, besides hearing someones voice is much better than getting a stupid text IMO.
 

"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.

you know, there is nothing wrong with texting at all! everyone text now adays, its a preferable thing to do. but only if you guys are having good converesations when you guys are seeing each other in person... if youre someone who she loves to talk to, then she may just think you're someone who hates the phone, and that's ok.

the point here is to make her FEEL that she isn't the only v@gina in the world without TELLING her

well you could do that and look like a total player to her, which sure some stupid @$$ girls like or just do what some of the others were saying and keep it "mystery style" which makes you look like you are just really busy and other things are going on other than her...you know just keeping conversations light on the phone until you are with her in person, which does the same thing without making you look like a player.
 

"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.
