"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.

So I'm kinda wondering if this may be a test. I asked this girl if she would join me and my friends friday night when we all go out. Now the original idea is because it's my friends' anniversary so they asked me if I wanted to go out with them but obviously with a date. So I asked this girl if she was interested and she said yes (well, I just asked if she wanted to go out with me and my friends, guess I should have specified). But now she asked me if its ok if she brings a couple of her friends. Which would be perfect if these friends were a couple too....

So what would you guys say? I'm thinking of telling her "yes its fine, but are they a couple by any chance?" or something along those lines. Something better to say in this situation? Oh and she texted me this, so luckily I get a bit of extra time to think lol.

Oh and sorry for posting this on the tips forum too, I didn't realize it was the tips forum.
 

"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.

My friends asked me to go out with them on there anniversary and to bring a date. I asked you if you where interested as you fit the category for such event. I would not consider this a date between us but it does give us a chance to get to know each other better.

That's what I would say.

Thats bad advice if he wanted it to be a date...

Anyways.. if she asks if she can bring friends along, casually ask if they have dates as well..

Why would you say yes if you just wanted her to come to be your date? If you ask if her friends are couples, you are opening up a can of worms.

"Are you friends couples?"
"No"
"Ok then they can't come"

"Oh, so you were just using me as your date?"
"Oh, so you just wanted to be alone with me after?"
"Oh, so you don't care about my friends?"

Well, I think she was probably thinking you guys were gonna go party or something. To comfort her and so that she will feel safer, she was probably thinking of bringing friends. You should be straight with her and tell her that everybody was gonna go as couples and if her friend were bringing dates with them, then it should be fine. I would check with the people organizing this event to see if is cool thou. Btw, you asked if this is a test. I wouldn't say is so much a test, is more of a safety net for her. Maybe you haven't build up a lot of trust between you too to ask her something like that.
 

"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.

My best suggestion is to not go to this anniversary with her. The friends thing suggests she's not fully comfortable being around you alone/undecided.

My experience, but putting too much on the table (Couples anniversary party) without establishing the right relationship/comfort with the girl leads to a dead end in the long run.

Ok well maybe I should have clarified that it's not a formal anniversary. I guess they do some little thing every month and it's their 2 year and 5 months one. Yes I know what you're all thinking, I thought the same thing....its stupid. But I respect that they want to do this.

Anyway thanks for all your help. I explained the whole situation to her and told her why I asked her to come with me and she understands its a date now. She actually said that was a really good reason for me to ask her to join us, so I'm guessing she's happy to go on this date. Now time to have fun tomorrow!
 

"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.
