"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.

After approaching many women, and getting little in the way of meaningful relationships, I'm left wondering if I'm coming at it wrong.
I don't have any close friends; the closest people I know are married or engaged. I ask them how they met, and they always say, "well, so-and-so introduced us."
Do most LTRs begin through mutual friends? It sure seems that way. My brother, for example, is getting married in August (I'm the best man, and will milk it for all it's worth) and he met his fiance through a friend of his. I'm the only person in the party who is single with no guest, and I admit it is frustrating when distant relations ask me, "So, when are YOU getting hitched?" :rolleyes:
I got a bit off topic, but should I get some friends before looking for love? People who know my likes/dislikes, and can introduce me to women with the same? Or should I keep plowing through the singles scene, playing hit and miss?
In short, should I get some bros before hos?
 

"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'm not just thinking guys as friends, but friends in general. You never know who has a hot sister, cousin, daughter, whatever. Perhaps my bros before hos comment threw you off.

I think that's right. I can't imagine that there are all that many LTRs of quality with origins on the South Side. Most people I know who are married/dating/engaged went to school together or worked together.
