"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.

I am NOT a natural actor by any sense of the word. Never done it, never cared to, but I might be in a situation where I have to start playing a character on my infomercial.

It's comedy, but the comedy is going to be in the situation and not so much the delivery, so I don't have to worry about being funny, just being able to deliver my lines in a somewhat realistic manner.

Any tips?

If I can pull it off I think it will be a lot of fun. IF I can pull it off!
 

"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.

What are you going to be on that "when women ruled the world" tv show?

Not like the world needs another "reality" show...

It sounds like you're insecure and trying to get attention.

It's an infomercial for my business. I pretty much have complete control.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Huh?

Pretty much the opposite. I'm not comfortable with too much attention. I'm not a "spotlight" kind of guy.

Damn, I forgot. Good to know I have friends in the biz!

Nothing really specific. I'm sure you have seen the Myspace page, and if you've seen the trailer for the infomercial you kind of know the direction we are taking.

I will be playing a hypocritical televangelist bent on destroying the "heathens" who are responsible for the show.

You've met me in person, so you might have picked up on the fact that I'm pretty low key. Not exactly the type of person who is a natural in fronto of the camera, but I know that acting is something that can be learned to an extent.

Take Jared from the Subway commercials. When he first started he was TERRIBLE. Now he could actually pass for a mediocre actor.

Me....at this point "bad" wouldn't be the word for my skills. I just need basic pointers on how to get myself into the right frame.

If this isn't enough info send me a PM. I don't like to give too many details to 311345234526 people.

You want to emulate as closely as possible that which you're portraying. In your case I would suggest checking out Jimmy Swaggart when he sobbed openly about "I've sinned against you Lord.".

Method actors internalize every aspect of that which they're portraying. I could go on and on about the differences between Strasberg's Method and Sandy Meisner's but the gist of it is all in how one acts honestly under imaginary circumstances.

We should get together over sushi and talk about it.

I'd love to do the sushi thing again. I'm beyond busy right now but we have to do it soon. What happened to you last time, BTW?
 

"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.

Don't "act".
That would be great if I had the personality of a televangelist, but that's a FAR stretch for me.
