"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.

A friend of mine is dating a girl who needs a lawyer. She was served right before Christmas and has to go to court next week.

He is telling me she couldn't get a lawyer because "she couldn't get one on such short notice, they don't work during the holiday". Um... I would think that's bullsh!t, these are lawyers we are talking about.

What is disturbing to me about this is not that she thinks she couldn't get a lawyer but that my friend, who is otherwise sane and rational, agrees with her and defends her position.

I know we have some lawyers here... what do you think? Could she have gotten one during the holiday? Or maybe even a better question: on how short of notice could anyone pop into a lawyer's office and say "I need help in civil court"?

Also, the other party does have a lawyer with him; so I imagine she'll be eaten alive in court.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If you called around to different attorneys, you could probably get one within a few hours, at least in the small town where I live. I can't say it's that way everywhere, but cash talks. Write the check and you get the lawyer right away; if it is too soon for them to adequately prepare, they can request an extension. Usually it is no big deal.

I was in need of a lawyer on July 4th... and on July 4th a Saturday I managed to get a lawyer away from a party. People are still working through the holidays. Granted maybe you'd have trouble Christmas day but we are way past that.

I kinda figured this was all bullsh!t about "not being able to get a lawyer". I tried to tell my friend what was up, but he didn't want to listen (I guess because that would mean "not taking her side" or some silly sh!t).

When a person's behavior contradicts their stated motive, it's always best to assume there is another motive at play. The question is, why would this girl want to LOSE in court?

*sigh* people are so disappointing...
