"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.

This girl I started casually seeing blows my phone up constantly. I like her so it doesn’t bother me but sometimes she likes to have these deep conversations and talk about her problems through texts.

I’m busy as **** with my businsss I don’t watch tv **** I barely have 45 minutes to work out for myself....**** even when I did work out yesterday she’s FaceTiming me. It’s still early into dating her and I like her but I don’t have the time to play therapist. How do I tell her this? It’s too early for me to be flat out blunt with her. She also seems to not be that interested in my life or my own goals/hobbies.

Can you really lose a chick being too busy pursuing money? I feel like it’s beta to be at a woman’s call unless it’s to bang her. She also doesn’t have a lot of female friends to talk about her issues with her. I feel like these are things she needs to talk to her girlfriends about and she doesn’t really have them
 

"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.

you know the marvelous thing about texts? you don't need to read right on that time, also make a point of when you go to work out don't take your cellphone, also make it so you only answer at the same time everyday, like end of work shift or during lunch, other times you are busy, and don't fall for I need to tell her, or if could be important, important things are not done by text
