"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 a while ago I had this huge argument with this girl. But, we are also involved in a project together. For the most part, I NCed her, unless it's about the project, then I formally and casually talk to her. I never initiated any phone calls unless it's an important call about the project.

Just now, she texted me:
"Do you miss me sometimes?"

to be honest, I am a bit "meh". I don't think much about her anymore, nor do I care about future hookup with her. I am going to just say "mm..not anymore" but I am not going to answer right away, but what do you guys think?
 

"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.

This is a toe in the water, and is likely to be womanspeek for," I hope that he still has some feelings for me that I can exploit. I hate it that he has not crawled and grovelled ."

She wants something.

I would reply " Well I did think about you one time, but I slapped myself and the feeling passed."

I was thinking for an answer that doesn't explicitly say yes or no, kinda in the middle but it's not a "maybe". that's a good one, jophil. Thanks!

Just text back asking her what she wants.

I.e

Her
"Do you miss me"

You
"What is it your after"


Put the ball back in her court, flip the script.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Just remain silent.

If you're still involved in a project with her, it's best not to piss her off, you never know when it may come back to bite you. I'm NOT advocating to "leave the door open." It's generally a good rule never to make enemies. You never know who will talk to who.

If you want to reply, say something vague and meaningless, but somehow true about your current feelings (however "meh" they may be) toward her.

Like: (only one line, don't make it a question or make it sound like you are asking for a response)

I've been really busy lately.

Somethings are better left remembered how they were before other things confused the issue.

It's been all over the place lately.

You can never step in the same river twice.

I like to keep looking forward with a positive attitude.

And so on

I always think "do you miss me?" means "I miss you".

And I will answer "did you miss me?" with something like "not as much as you missed me".
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

It's actually one of my favorites! :D


Her: "u miss me?"
Me: "Of course sweetheart! btw, who is this?"

Her: "hey how r u"
Me: "Hey, I'm doing great! Who is this?"

Her: "u free ths wknd?"
Me: "Sorry, already have a photoshoot scheduled. Who is this btw?"



Of course, I know who's texting but I play dumb. Then they're all like "nah, shut up! :)" or "haha", etc. I then ask them to give me a call and when/if they do, I date close! :D
