"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.

I'm 25. Got out of college in May but have yet to find a job (I still have my old job that is hourly, make ok money). I had an apartment for 5 years but just moved back in with my parents because school was finished and I needed to clear my head.

I'm from Boston and would love to move back there (I now live in Texas), but the economy back there sucks and it doesn't look good for me. I could stay in Texas a little longer and hope the economy gets better but I really don't like it out here. Most of my friends moved away after graduation and my girlfriend dumped me tonight, which is good actually as it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

My car is about to break down, I don't have much money, and I have to start paying student loans soon. I feel like I'm losing it a bit.

On the plus side I'm in great shape, very muscular and looking good. Plus my Boston accents makes it easy to get ladies out here.
 

"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.

You've been through a lot recently.

Its time to chill out, use that accent to get laid a few times, go out have a couple of drinks or whatever you do to relax then laugh about all the stress you've been under recently...continue to chill...then formulate your plan for what you want to do from here. :rock:

Congrats, your childhood is officially over. Less chilling, more planning, and even more action. Keep job hunting, keep envisioning, stay in the fight; periods like the one you're in can make you or break you.

My official advice:

1. Bang some chicks in Texas.
2. Move back to Boston. Compile a complete roster of all debts and credits.
3. HUNT HUNT HUNT for a job. Leave no stone unturned, your employment opportunities are limited only by your imagination.
4. SAVE MONEY AND GET RID OF THE TOXIC DEBT

The SOP of the next few years MUST be to face these problems head on and to the best of your ability.
