"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.

Girl I work with, got her phone number Friday on her last day. She's off travelling for a month either tomorrow or Wednesday (I can't remember which) but I'm undecided what text to send her. No point calling and arranging a meet up just yet as like I said she's off tomorrow I think so just looking for something to keep her ticking over until she's back.

My two ideas are "I had THE dirtiest dream about you last night." Followed by building it up and the punch line being "You fell into a mud puddle...very dirty!"

or "Ok Ok, I've text you now...What are your final two wishes?"

Any thoughts? Any other ideas? Cheers
 

"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.

Sounds like canned, prepackaged, PUA material.

If you NEED to text this girl (tip: you don't), at least do it in your own voice.
 

"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've got no issue with texting as I've built real good rapport that way.

But I do agree with Iceberg that it sounds like canned material, and a little like you're trying too hard. Just be natural and friendly. It goes a long way.

Don't overthink it, either man up and give her a call.

Or simply texting her saying hi and asking how she is doing.

From there escalate it into a meetup, definitely don't go the canned route.

both are very lame...why text her ?
Agree !!!
Why text her when you can call build some rapport and end the call when she Is having most fun (at the peak)...just break It like you must do something not like "I notice you having fun so I will end this call because I am playing mind games with you or because It makes me Insecure when someone else than me Is having fun" ... :)

BTW. 2days ago I tested the rule that you should call after one to three days have passed, and It looks like It Is real ...Try not to call right away the next day live her one empty day and then call her just to talk
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I wouldn't bother texting her/ringing her! If she is off travelling for a month and she'll be back to work as per usual in a month's time, then I say just put her on the backburner and resume things when she returns.

You cannot meet up with her etc, because she is going away, just leave it until she gets back is my advice to you.

Fellas one thing I want to point out is that as much as calling is better, and displays more confidence, builds rapport, etc., the probelm nowadays is a lot of women DON'T want to talk on the phone but rather text.

So texting is necessary sometimes these days.

One other thing, if this girl is going to be gone for a month I would just forget about her, cause I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she will not be thinking about you during this time.

Don't text her. She's leaving for a month... you aren't going to keep things "ticking," you're going to fall into the friendzone for seeming needy. Drop her a line when she gets back, instead.

Those two examples sound like some of the early "text game" models- lame canned material that comes off as try hard. A high value man with a lot of options keeps things short, sweet and to the point- he doesn't try to impress girls with cutesy lines.

Don't say those two lines, they sound very desperate.

If you are going to text anything, you could say "Have a nice trip."
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
