"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.

Could still being in love with your ex be a benefit

If you're sleeping with a girl, and she wants to get more serious, could telling her you don't want a relationship cause you're still in love with your ex increase her interest? Make her want to chase you more to get you to get over her.

Maybe she'll think "what does this girl have that i dont?" "Why can't I make him get over her?"

Not sure. Just a thought. What do ya'll think?
 

"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.

Hell no. Women are very insecure when it comes to exes. If she thinks there is a chance you will get back with your ex, which she will if you say you are still in love with one, she will not want to commit to you.

The problem with this is that if she's a self respecting or smart girl, she will recognise the red flag and bail. Or she will start looking out for another guy with less emotional baggage.

That's what us guys would (should) do, right?

When you get into the realm of playing games, it's usually the start of a downward spiral. It's far better for her to wonder about you and for you to leave her guessing than to say anything like this directly to her.

If you want to raise her interest, be a challenge, hold back on contacting her from time to time, but generally the less you say the better.

If she isn't a nutter, she'll bail once you say that.

But if she is a nutter she will stick around... big time... because you are emotionally unavailable...

But this creates its OWN set of problems... believe me... nothing like a girl showing up at your house out of nowhere ready to kick another chick's ass...
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

i'm assuming you are interested in the girl you want to confess to? if so why would you even dream of doing such a thing?

the only time i confessed that i was still in love with another was in the hope of getting rid of a girl. imagine my surprise when she stuck around. my respect for her diminished as a result. no self-respecting person would stick around for that.
