"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.

It's best to let women come to you, but know the signs she's en route.

1) Eye contact - If she likes you she will hold eye contact almost indefinitely, often at first glance. This can be used to measure the relationship throughout. Often they will stare a little too long and will then say "what?" to tease you into maintaining the connection.

2) Touch - If she likes you she will find some reason (any reason) to touch you. For this reason, it's best to refrain from ANY touch until she initiates it. Only then can you try massaging her, etc. Please don't say the K word in this thread.

3) Pickup Line Receptiveness - If she likes you she will fall for your line. I prefer "Are you single?" but use something that is short and direct. Remember, when you cut to the chase (scene) you are giving her permission to reject you. If you try to avoid that, you will seem wimpy to her. Just do it. You are saying "Ok, ok, I want you. Do I have a chance, yes or no?" But not verbatim.

4) Electronic Contact Eagerness - If she likes you she will always reply to your texts, even if only one word.

5) Actual Contact Eagerness - If she likes you then you will NOT need to send a date reminder. Rather, you will get a text that reads "How are you? I'm looking forward to (tomorrow, etc)" within 24 hours of the plans. Or she will say "You blew me off" when you barely alluded to seeing her at all.

6) Thank you texts - If she likes you she will send a thoughtful, well punctuated thank-you letter telling you what a wonderful time she had (i.e., she wants to spend more time together). Better yet, she will call you and be gushing on the phone.

7) Reading between the lines - If she likes you and you write "I bought some free range chicken today at Whole Foods because it's your favorite. Did I hypnotise you the other night? I will be making dinner tomorrow at 6pm", she will reply "I love chicken!", "I will be there at 6pm", and (20 minutes later) "I think you did." in 3 separate messages.

(Add your sure signs here)

"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.

Too reactive imo. Interest level really doesn't matter--just go after what you want. Act; let her react. You're basically selecting specifically to avoid rejection.

It's not so cut and dry. But you're a man so it should be, right? Well AW's will give you ALL those signs and use your perception of her high interest to manipulate them. Shy girls might give you one or two (or none). Girls that are super high interest--you're their dream guy--will specifically avoid showing interest because the cost of rejection is too high.

Too many variables. I always assume everybody loves me, some of them just don't know it yet lol. The only thing I care about is my interest level. If I'm interested, it's a go.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I will definitely initiate kino first if necessary. I'm starting to think caveman-lite is a good thing to explore further (for me). In the past 2 weeks I have rubbed thigh, spanked a55 while "giving orders," and put my arm around their waist while walking on the first date and each time (so far) it has only benefited me. Granted, this is easiest coming/going from booth style seating in a bar. Once I realized chicks are are all pretty much dtf, it's just a matter of going for it in the least awkward way possible. If she ain't into it, I'm done. I don't have time for formalities anymore. I always greet my dates with a hug too. Idk, a flip just switched recently and my female related anxiety has for the most part subsided. I think it's funny when I crash and burn/get shot down. Anyhow, as I've said before I'm still learning this numbers game . . .
