"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 haven't read a dating book in a while and that's because I believed I read all of the best ones already, the rest seem to be crap or rehashed. Well, that is until I got this book called Guy Gets Girl. It's a book written by an actual women. This is not a new development, dating books for men have been written by women for a while now. But this woman sounds like she's actually the legit types that guys approach, whereas the others not so much, or as she puts it, are divorced.

I've only read 20 pages so far but I've learned far more about women than any guy has ever told me. One line really strikes it for me:

When women get mad at a man - we get mad at all men, not just one.
I've seen this advice before, in fact it's one of the first things I've learned. What makes this so different? Because she knows first hand and she's able to give us a better image of the situation.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I've read that book too, and that line stuck out to me too, and it's true. That's why if a woman doesn't even give you a chance and ****s on your from the get-go, it's ALL her and not you. She could be having her period. She could be hating ALL men at the moment.

Women never bother me anymore because I've gotten positive responses from several of them, that one bad apple every now and then isn't gonna phase me.

There are just BAD people out there no matter what. Even BAD whole sections of the country, like a social disease. Living in a place where everyone is really friendly or smiles/makes eye-contact can do wonders for your social/psychiatric health. You can't help but to grow and become a healthy well-rounded person because of the healthy well-rounded people you don't know walking around you.

"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.
