"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.

After reading a couple of posts in the forum I noticed that picking up girls seems to be a big part of DJ-ing. I came to this forum because I could see that this stuff isn't bull, I thought back on situations (I have something of an eidetic memory) and re-evaluated them with these new theories, realizing that they should apply and then tested them. I know it's for real.

Usually, when I meet girls, I do so under a different pretext that the usual. Then, after saying Hi and maybe talking for a bit, I can usually tell if I'm into her or not (Girl's a real person now, instead of just a pretty face), and if so: In what way? I just take it from there, simple and plain.

Then, about picking up girls:
I was at the club tonight and thought it fit to try and pick up some girls with my new and improved skills (actually just my new grown cojones :D )

Long story short: I never did. I'm a big stinking coward. I had plenty of opportunity. What I tried to do was to make EC and wave them over. I couldn't even make EC, it seemed.

The thing is that I don't *need* to pick up girls to meet them, I meet my share anyway. So I wonder if there's anyting in doing it other that that.

I'd love to have it as a skill and as soon as I've scraped up enough confidence to do so I'll do it.

Right now I'm mostly about trying to smile at every person I talk to, meet or make EC with - And not to look down when I make EC with someone (I almost never used to smile and almost always looked away) It seems to make people more friendly towards you and that's good, not only with girls.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It sounds like you're making excuses, just develop the ability to pick-up, and you won't have to leave things to chance.

Picking up & talking to women or people in general isn't something you should HAVE to do.

It should be something that you should WANT to do. Don't force yourself to talk to women.

It's not the talking I have a problem with, just the actual "picking up", as it's under the pretense of scoring a # or more.

I guess my problem is that I just can't be casual when picking up, otherwise I'm great at keeping cool, cause there's no agenda. Only if I want there to be one, then I'm in control.

So I just have to keep casual and in control. Now how the hell do I do that?

Dont even think about all this cr@p dude. Just relax and talk to whoever because you are a social person who just wants to meet new people and enjoy life w/o caring about the consequences ....
 

"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.
