"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'm a girl, not a gay guy, lol.

There is this guy that I work with who I think might like me. I know the whole "don't mix work with pleasure" thing, but we're only 20 and 22, and neither of us plan on working at this place forever.

Anyway, there a tons of reasons I think he might like, but it's the recent things that I'm questioning now.

We usually work Friday nights together, and this week we didn't, only I worked. He came by anyway, to drop something off, and ended up staying for about 10 minutes just to talk. He was like "so did you miss me today? we didn't get to have a usual Friday date." I was a little sacastic, and was like "oh yeaaaa, I missed you." Even though I really did miss working with him, lol.

Then as he was leaving, he gave me a high-five, which is something he's never done before. It was kinda out of blue. I know high-fives are usually a "just friends" thing, but the fact that he's never done that before is weird.

Then he left me a comment, on myspace, yes, about how he hoped I enjoyed my day off.

So what do you guys think? Do you think he's just being friendly?
Thanx.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

It's hard to tell just from what you wrote.. Does he usually have a lot of physical contact with you, like just casually touching your arm or shoulder or back? If he does that then I would say he likes you.

Hmmm... well if he's shy like you say, then you might have to be the one who casually touches him, just to let him know that you are interested. Since he is shy, he won't make any kind of move on you unless he is sure that you like him. Also it could be useful to flirt with him a little bit on his myspace. He would definately be more open about what he says on there than he would be in person.

But back to your original question---I wouldn't say that the high five necessarily means anything as far as him being interested or not. I woulnd't read too much into it.
 

"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.

If you're even moderately attractive and he has no girlfriend I assure you he likes you.

It's kind of like playing pin the nail on Jesus. You don't want to miss the important parts and aren't sure where in fact the right spot is.

I can assure you sweetpea. He does.

Drag him into your office and give him head; he'll love it.

The thing is people act different in different situations.

You said he didn't work that day so he could have been in a relaxed mood, just trying to have fun and socialize, instead of how he usually is when working so this could mean anything.

Maybe he is just a recovering AFC and flirts with all the girl around just for training :cool:

He likes you, without a doubt.

I'm a slow-to-warm-up kind of guy too, so I can see myself doing the same things. It sounds like he's interested in you, but since you work together, and he's kind of shy, he's not quite sure how to make a real move.

If you take the initiative and ask him out or make a move at work (;)), he'll definitely go for it. Ask him to do something after work, he'll jump at the chance.

I'm actually dating a girl from work now, and it started in a similar fashion.

If he asks you out... he likes you.

If he simply talks... he likes you as a friend.

not necessarily....back when i was an AFC there was this girl i really liked but never had the courage to ask out....and i was pretty sure she liked me too....the only way for her to find out is to ask him out
 

"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.

Well if thats the case... then to the poster I say: don't bother. If he doesn;t have the cojones to ask you out, then you don't want him. After all, he's not a real man. You might as well be hanging out with the girls.

Life's harsh.

Oh well.
