"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.

HEy who's ever a real man on this I could use a good 'ol pointer.
ANY TIP, ADVICE, POINTER WOULD BE GREAT THANKS FELLAS:rolleyes:
Short story short:
1.There's this girl in my class I have a small crush on, she sits in the back usually alone.

2.I know she kind of likes my in class buddy who sits next to me in class, they often say "hey" to eachother, this guy also has a girlfriend.

3.I tried talking to her once, I made a comment about her shoes, claiming she stole them from my grama but I got nervous and then asked some stupid question and left...so basically a crappy first impression.

4. Im now 100% confident and I don't care what happens so I'm determined to talk to her once more.

5. the fact that she kind of likes my buddy puts me in a this semi jealous mode because I know I have WAY more to offer.

6. So should I go and sit with this chick one day and class, start chatting her up about how she should give her shoes back to my grama and see where it goes?
Advice from a real guy would definitely be appeciated.
 

"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.

Hey. I'm a real guy.

I think you're over-analyzing the situation. It was just a brief conversation...and although you think it's devastating, I'm sure the girl forgot about it within about 30 seconds.

But no more grandma jokes. Let's not become the "grandma joke guy".

And why will you talk to her just "once more"? We're just talking about conversations, not dates. Talk to her every damn day if it'll make you more comfortable. Invade her personal space.

so you have a crush on a girl in ur class, who has a crush on your buddy who has a gf?
what class are you in ? Special needs class?

5. the fact that she kind of likes my buddy puts me in a this semi jealous mode because I know I have WAY more to offer.
