"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.

Ok, Im 24...I saw my friend the other day....and hung out with him and his younger sister. He told me that his sister fancies me...and suprisingly he seemed really cool about it, and gave the impression he wouldnt be bothered about anything between me and her.

THe problem is, she is 18!! I will mention that I live in UK, where legal consent is 16..

I just dont know what to do...I have been messaging her, and she I said she can come round mine and watch a movie tonight...she said wanted to but had prior plans...anyways she countered for tomorrow night...which in my household can be quite crowded...

so I was thinking about maybe trying to go out someplace with her? or try and go round hers instead? - - - I told her I might be busy, but I will let her know tomorrow...

WHat should I do??

I will also mention that suprisingly we had stuff in common, and she seemed quite mature..not an annoying squeaky young chick... hmmmm

Thanks in advance guys
 

"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.

24 (or early-mid20s)/18 guy/girl is pretty common in the UK IME. The relative maturities tend to be reasonably balanced.

God luck! :)

I just got this girl's number in one of my classes and she's 18. It sucks because I don't know where to take her. All the best places to take a girl are 21+. :confused:

Thanks for the responses guys...this makes me feel better about the whole situation.

and to JLay87 I can relate to your problem a little bit...it seems more difficult knowing where to take them where there is a significant age gap...

In my case, I might take her out someplace..maybe cinema (boring I know, but safe bet).....Hmm, I will decide for definite tomorrow!
 

"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.

also depends on how close you and your friend are, this could potentially end your friendship if anything fvcks up, are you prepared to take that risk?
I know its delicate and fragile...but I know what kind of person I am, and I'm not into using and abusing chicks...so I have no concerns.

Also the fact that my friend is so relaxed about it speaks volumes of the kind of person I am...I hope lol :woo:

18 and 24? Not an issue.

I was dating (well, nibbling with) 19 year olds when I was 33. Good times.

Ok...come on the ONLY place to go is either an over 21 club or to the movies? Wow, I usually don't like either of these ideas. I would much rather go grab coffee, have her come with you "shopping" so you can get a new shirt of course or whatever. But you go into all these diff shops make fun of her for the things that she likes..I mean come on be diff, everyone has taken her to the movies. A nice drive to see scenery and talking is great too, think outside the box guys. I thought this was pretty common to do these sorts of "dates". And by doing the coffee your meeting in one place and your going to another, so thats like an instadate where she feels more comfortable with you.
 

"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.

I passed 40 a few years back and I dated an 18 year old last year for a bit, as well as a 21, 23, 26 and 31. No big thing really; the friends sister thing is a lot bigger deal. There are lots of women out there to date, why risk a friendship?

She's 18, she's not gonna marry him and even if she did, the'd probably end up divorced if they marry that young. It's a great way to screw up a friendship but heck, nothing lasts forever. Poon isn't that hard to get though, I think I'd pass, or friendzone her.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
