"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.

Well today I successfully got 2 number closes and I'm wondering when do you guys usually call your numbers? I was planning on just calling them tonight, but I didn't know.
 

"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.

They usually say 2 -3 days. Some people say it depends on the vibe you got. I've called a number the next day and set up a date for 2 days later and it worked.

rule of thumb, 2-3 days.

there are alot of variables.

If you got a good vibe/seem geniunely interested in hanging out/asked when you were going to hang out, within a day.

otherwise, i'd wait 2 or 3, and yes, you should be a busy man, this should come through in your conversations and day 2 planning.

Good hunting.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I say choose a period of time and stick with it. Don't second guess yourself if she doesn't answer or reply to a text message, could be any number of reasons.

One girl I met last weekend asked for my number so I gave it to her and she gave me mine, I text her after about 4 hours completely smashed out of my face. We went back and forth like this for an hour or so. Haven't heard from her since.

In hindsight, saying her messages were crap might have been a bad idea.

i've called girls that gave me their numbers from online dating sites after 2,3 maybe 4 weeks, and they didn'd seem very offended! The only way you could act LIKE A PUSS is calling too early! For me is MINIMUM 5 days! Of course it depends how you got her number!

My record is a year. I like to leave it awhile, just to see how much impact I made on her. I only recently texted a chick I met about 8 months ago aswell, she said it took her about 10 minutes to remember me, better than not at all I guess.

I'm pretty much now sold on the idea you can call a chick whenever you want as long as she has fond memories of your initial meet.
