"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.

hi,

i have been thinking what to get my girlfriend for christmas, and one of my friends mentioned maybe get her lingerie (bra and panties). at first, i thought it was a pretty good idea, its something personal (not something like electronics) and both of us would get some enjoyment out of it (i hope :D). as far as sizing goes, i guess i could look through her underwear drawer...:woo:. i figure its better than purchasing something like jewelry. what are peoples thoughts on the lingerie idea?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

first we need to know how old she is and if she would actually wear it.
then you should send me a link to her pic so i can guess her size for you and help you find it cheap.

she is 27, i am 21, she usually wears skimpy underwear e.g. g-strings, thongs, lace boyshorts. her underwear isn't cheap, she spends alot of money on underwear.

"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.

its only weird if you think it is, and if you think it is weird to pick it out, how weird are you gonna feel giving it to her??

its like buying condoms, once you are old enough to do it, its only weird the very first time.

well i have no problem going to the store to buy condoms (it shows that i'm safe :up: ) i think once i have her size(s) figured out i'm going to go buy a lingerie set, i think it's a special gift (what do others think?) what does lingerie say? i think it says that i think she is sexy (which i do).

figuring out a size is easy. most sizes are small , medium , large and plus.
 

"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.

I wouldn't buy a woman lingerie on on my own what so ever. You spend the time picking out something that you think would look sexy on your girl and you give it to her. She puts it on and guess what, it's the wrong size. If it's too small, she may feel embarrassed that she's larger than you perceive her to be. If it's too large, she'll think that you believe that she's fat. Think about it. Even though they come in basic sizes, it makes a difference between styles, where the band lies, where the thighs are cut, the type of fabric.

Instead, use your imagination. Buying someone lingerie screams naughtiness, capitalize on it. Give her a gift certificate to VS and tell her that you will go with her to help her pick something out. But that's not all, your objective is not to just buy some undies, but to sneak into the dressing room with her while she tries them on. It'll take balls, it'll probably give you a few stares from the salespeople and the other customers but think about what it will do for the excitement factor for you and your girl? ;)

These are the types of things that guys seldom do in a relationship and ultimately they get bored because there's no excitement. Make an effort to make sure it never goes away. :up:

Well, I could just go look in her underwear drawer (see what size she is) :whistle:

BTW: honestly, is this a good gift idea? personally, I think so (the gift says that I think she is sexy, it is something we will both get enjoyment out of, and it shows her that I'm a little naughty). Since this would be the first time (if I do consider) buying a woman lingerie, I think its ballsy.

So we chatted today online (she is away at the moment) and I guess she caught wind of my plan (lingerie ) and she asked why I was asking what she liked to wear, I tried playing it off that I was only curious but, then she got a little worried that I had already bought her some lingerie (which I haven't). Since she is tall (6'0") that sizing would be difficult, so she said that it would be fun for us to go shopping together (YAY!) I replied with my thoughts exactly . So I have to think of a nice gift to get her for Christmas.

WHOSE thoughts exactly? You were going to sneak a peek into her drawers (the wooden kind, not the silk kind). Geesh... :rolleyes:

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Either get your money back or save them until she's earned them (like Chrismas 2007 if you two are still together).

Yea, thats an idea I suppose.

Its her birthday in a week or so, so together with christmas and her bday I spent like £150 on her, 2 items for her birthday and 3 for christmas. I'm sort of thinking it's a bit too much and have a suspicious feeling shes only got me 1 or 2 relatively cheap things.
