"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.

i met this chick about a month ago and bumped into her again last week and talked for a while but i didn't listen to my gut instincts to leave while things were good and ended up not p*ssing off and stuck around too long and she got annoyed.

basically i did very well up until that point and turned into an afc the last 5mins of the time i was with her..

what would you suggest is the best way to approach her next time i see her?

1. go straight up to her and chat but be brief and leave.

2. say hey from a distance and wait for her to come up to me later (if she does)

3. smile from a distance so that she knows you acknowledge her but dont go up to her and talk and make her wonder why he's not coming up to chat like he did before.

1. could backfire if i dont do it well cos she might have in her head 'oh no hes going to come up to me and disturb me again for too long' so will be on the defensive..

what is the best way really to handle situations like this?

I read somewhere on here that its better to act interested at first then back off and play it cool to make her wonder why and be a challenge rather than her frigging lapdog everytime you see her.
 

"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.

how much should i ease up?

given that i came on strong last time i really need to cool it and be more of a challenge.

1 is good.. but given the way i left it last time its risky cos her first thought would be 'oh no he's going to disturb me again..' instead of 'why hasn't he come up to me and talk like he usually does?'

i'd say any one of those 3 would be right but it really depends on the situation and circumstances.
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
2 and 3 are not approaches.

If you do #1 and she does not respond well, leave and find a girl who can appreciate your company. ;)

would not 2 and 3 work better because it makes you more of a challenge?

i.e. why isn't he coming up to me to talk like he ususally does?
