"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 recently she broke up with her boyfriend of four years and she mentions that she's trying to see what else is out there. We communicate all this through facebook, so I haven't talked to her in person in maybe 4 or 5 years... it's been a while, we're both in college, and we're home for summer.

I say:
maybe we'll hang out one of these days, grab a bite to eat, catch up on old times, ya know, the usual.
She Says:
that sounds great! i would love to grab lunch and catch up/think back on old times :) just let me know when you're free and in town.

Should I change it to dinner or something? We both had huge crushes on each other when we were young, but that all faded away since I was a year older, we both went our separate ways. But she mentioned that she'd wanna grab lunch... if anyones seen the movie "just friends", he mentions that friends go on lunch dates, and people that were more than friends go on dinner dates. I know I'm making it a bigger deal than it should be, but any advice on this situation?
 

"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.

If you don't have game, then neither lunch or dinner would matter.

It sounds to me like its a friendly get together. Try to gauge her interest in you when you meet in REAL LIFE and not based on the things she says on facebook.

I know for sure I've changed a lot... but she hasn't changed much. It's through facebook, so she has pictures of herself up. Being a softball player, I've noticed she has gained a little weight, her arms are fairly big, bug she's not chubby status yet. Haha... she could probably beat me up tho :p
