"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.

When girls ask "why I asked her out".

I had a few dates with different girls, with varying results recently. Some of them paid off, some did not. However, the girls kept asking a question which I did not know how to answer. Namely: "Why did you ask me out/on a date".

Surely I have my reasons, but at the moment I am not sure I know how to react to it in the most efficient (and non-beta) manner.

One girl I met via Orkut, so I told her, that I want to know her better.

One girl I had met before and seemed to fancy me a lot asked me why I asked her on a date. Though on that occasion it was not really a "date", as I had simply told her I might be in the town at the same time she was, and albeit I told her we could meet, it was she who sealed the deal, when she asked me whether I was available, or not. Anyway, I told her I had not asked her on a "date".
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

" Well,Based on your looks, it was to have sex! I just wanted to know if I could deal with your personality before we head down that road!" He said with a mischievous grin!

I believe ZTIME has the right idea.

It seems these ladies are fishing for compliments and-or giving you some type of **** test.

So, in your response, be anything but serious :up:

"Because I wanted to."

I don't understand why this is tricky.
 

"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.

That's pretty much it. Sometime she's got self-esteem issues, maybe thinks you're "above her" or something, and wants to make sure you're not going to pump and dump.

You might want to expand a bit, (very playfully):

"Based on what I know about you, I like you, and I wanted to find out a little bit more. That's what we humans here on Earth tend to do when they're might be a mutual interest. They spend time talking, usually over a meal, to see if there's any basis for further interaction. I've even heard that some people end up spending a LOT of time together, sometimes even moving in the same house! Then all these NEW people, like really small ones suddenly show up, like magic or something, I'm not really sure how that works...anyhow, how do they do things like this on your planet?"
