"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.

Am I reading too much into things?

A girl I know who I'm NOT friends with but I've known for some time asks if I have a myspace page. She mentions that she needs someone to add to her top ten right in front of some dude who's obviously attempting to get with her. I find it rather weird considering that we were never friendly at all to begin with. Just acquaintances. Most of the time I did know her she wasn't single but now she has been for some time. I don't know if thats a hint for me to make a move but it does sort of strike me in that manner.
 

"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.

I think it is an IOI, but really, who cares? I mean, she's single, and she's contacted you. That's more than enough for me to game a girl.

Well you don't really have anything to lose in this situation, especially if she is mostly just an aquantence, then if it doesn't work you aren't even losing a friend. That also is normally more than enough of a sign to try to game a girl. So I would give it a shot, but if it seems she isn't that interested and its just a coincidence she asked you, then just don't put too much effort or money(dates, hanging out) into it.

I also forgot to add that I asked her best friend out some time back. It never happened because she went for the bad boy who ended up leaving her and for some reason she still seems to like me. Would this make me look bad in any way?

From the way you described it, yeah you probably are looking too much into it. It almost sounds as if she is trying to use you to make someone else jealous. But hey, you never know until you try.

If you told an acquaintance you needed to add her on your top ten myspace page in front of some girl who was obviously trying to get with you, would you think of it as a hint for her to make a move?

Why are you trying to read this woman? If you like her, you go for it. If she says no, then you're in the clear for other adventures. If she yes, then you're in like Flynn.

My answer to this is yes.
