"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.

Don't normally do this but i'm exhausted after pulling an all nighter and my brain is fried....

This is the convo so far:
ME: Yo I just saw a fat dude wearing a tutu run into a glass door! It was ****ing strange.
HB7: Hahahah that's so random
ME: You;re random
HB7: No, You are
ME:Oo Great comeback. Did you need help coming up with that one?
HB7:RUDE
ME: Let's hang out thursday. I'm free after 7
HB7: What do you want to do?
ME: You can come watch a movie, but only if you promise to behave yourself..
HB7: Haha oh I am not worried about myself behaving.

Background on the girl...I met her at this big house party few weeks ago, escalated quickly, ran tight game on her, makeout within prob 15 min or so. She kept using me as a shield to avoid this other guy that kept hitting on her all night. Went back to her dorm that night. Gave me the "on my period" line, but I''m sure she was because she was horny and naked besides her panties. Went down on me, and got me off 3 times. Kept saying how nice my body was, blah, blah

Met her 2 roommates at another party but HB7 was out of town, so I was flirting with both of them, dancing with em, and made out with one of em. I expect they all know about this, which is fine. They all seem to dig me, so i'm positive it's on with this chick, want to set her up as a Fbuddy.

I was thinking of sayin "Oh that's right...I forgot you were a real nice and innocent gal." (she's skanky) or "Don't worry, you're not getting in my pants."

Suggestions?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

See how much longer your TXTs are compared to hers? What does that tell you?

See the difference with Mr Titties' example?

hah, sent tittie's text. No response. I'm gonna try to make plans with a diff girl and text HB7 thurs. Probably with something that makes it clear that she's coming over.

When i text should I be kind of an ass or lay off a bit? She's not an overly nice girl, but she's not really a ***** either

Wha????? I hope your joking dude. You went from jokey jokey trying maybe a fraction too hard to what I said? She's gonna think your bipolar if it doesn't match your earlier frame.

C'mon mate, common sense.

I feel like an ass now :( I feel like what Cain must have felt when he slayed Abel. I hope this is not my first inadvertent c@ckblock on here.
 

"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.

not joking. luckily i'm past the point of giving a **** about what I say to girls. Haha I did think you were joking until I read jitterbug's post.

That being said, is there any damage control I can/should do at this point?

And it kinda did match my earlier frames set with her... In most of our interactions i'm over the top joking/kinda being an asss and she usually fires right back at me.

I'd like to bang her, but i'm not gonna care either way if she breaks contact, plenty of other girls so don't feel bad

Ok if that's legit I feel a bit better now.

HELL.NO. Not a word, truth be told you didn't need to say anything back anyway, you were already golden. She was on her way as it was. Panties were assured to be on your floor.

For future reference with texting less is more as Jitterbug already said. Bust her balls sure but keep it to a bare minimum.

Yea **** texting. it's like a necessary evil though. I'm reading Braddock's
Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game, hopefully that helps (let me know if anyone has read it and liked it)

"So you coming over or am I just whistlin' dixie? or if you really wanna get bold "So about that food, I like (insert some kind of food) and I usually get hungry around (insert time) so don't be late." If I were you I would just text her something short and to the point.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I agree, texting sucks but like you said it is a bit of a necessary evil especially with girls my age in their early twenties.
