"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.

iight guys.. Been a while since I've been here but here goes...

Been seeing this girl for 2 months. See her about once a week, call about 1-2 times and week. She has been accepting my dates since day one and been on good behavior - meaning no red flags. We just started sleeping with one another maybe about 3 weeks ago. Further, I'm trying to pursue a LTR w/ her.

Now, a few days ago she comes over to hang and she uses my bathroom as shes upstairs, she gets a text from some dude. I didnt read it. I just noticed it popped up as her cell was on my coffee table.

Is the joke on me guys? Whats going on here? Is this red flag #1?
 

"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.

Maybe she's got male friends? I'd say don't worry about it unless it starts happening while you're together and she actually ANSWERS them ;) Or unless she starts acting weird.

There's a rule that I go by. If you don't specifically say anything in a relationship, anything is fair game. No assumptions. So, if I've been seeing a girl for X months we aren't exclusive until we discuss the issue. Major things in a relationship need to go by that rule, otherwise you guys start assuming, and things start going south.

That said, you need to realize that she has guy friends, too. Who cares if they text. ALL girls have guy friends, and ALL girls need to hang out with their guy friends. If you ever get to meet these guys, treat them with respect and joke around with them so that she knows you're not threatened by them. You shouldn't be, cause you're the ****ing man... you're the prize. She's spending time with you, right? Sounds like you're letting your guard down, so don't turn into an AFC.

If the joke is one you remains to be seen.

Don't sweat it, don't tell her, don't get angry or upset. Nothing happened Bro! Don't get paranoid.

Don't turn this into a self-fulfilling prophecy by getting jealous or much worse by acting jealous.

What happened afterwards? Did she text back while you're around. Did she check her cellphone for missed calls or texts while being with you?

A SMS ( by the way: do you guys in the U.S. call it SMS? or just text msg? ) from another guy means nothing. It's not like she's your property. Is she hanging out with guy friends on a regular basis? Does she tell you about it? You don't know yet, because you don't know her that long.

2 month is not enough time for thinking about LTR. Keep on doing what you have been doing and get to know her.

Watch her actions and her behavior, stay focused, but don't sweat it. Time will tell.
 

"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.
