"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.

Hey,

Whats the absolute worst/most AFC move you ever made? Could be could be good for some laughs and reviews. I'll start it of.

I made good progress with this 6. Everything was cool, I made the call 3 days later(ie, on the 4th day) at round 8pm. She seemed pretty enthusiastic till I messed up the "where" of the date("[place] or [other place], well fnd something). Still managedable till she asked when I went:" uhh, umm say 3?". I got the "lemme check my schedule and call you back" at that point.

Next! It's cool first time after a long rut.Now I went to dinner with the fammily and being bored stupid I called her up round 7pm(this was 2 days later). This went bad as the network was loaded and I said I'd call her back. Another 3 days later I did. Now I really blew it, She asked how I'm doing and I'm "yeah, great you wanna go to [place]?" Acted like it was the end of the world and she said to call me back(fortunatly whatever DJ the seds left in me kicked in and I told her to give me a ring when she can get it strait).

To top it of, I was'nt feeling too hot the next morning and 5 beers later and I called up the calss blaber to tell em what hapened.She thinks I was ona dare asking her out lol!
 

"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.

On reflection that's probably not it, it's the "when" part.

Had'nt really planned out the when and where (still coming out of a rut). When she asked where'd we'd go I said: "Uhh, [restaurant] or [semi-restaurant eatery]" just of the top of my head. She didnt sound as enthusiastic but still not exactly unwilling. Then when she asked I said about 3pm(again blurted) so then she gives me the "I'll call you back". Was quite polite about it though like next day she finds me and apologises for not calling.

BTW, she looked like she wanted and asnwer but didnt give her any. Some more things hapened and I'm thinking this was a female DJ. Either way she's NXDD
 

"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.
