"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.

HB 9 keeps mentioning "how she can't stay out late"...

Okay so I scored a date with a hb9 I met at a bar Saturday. We have been texting back and forth on and off since Saturday. I am pretty nervous since this is a date with a high quality girl hb9 graduating with criminal justice degree and forensic psych degree and have mostly been dating low quality slags. However, I will be fine once things start going.

However she sent these texts:

"Wednesday? Okay just as long as I'm not out too late :) I am not a morning person so I need my sleep"

and when I reminded her about the date after several messages she said

" okay sounds good I can't be out late though lol I'm an old lady when it comes to bedtime":)


Does this constant reminder show low interest and a trump card to bail out/cut things short?
 

"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.

I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe she has another guy she talks to every night and doesn't want to jeopardize that by staying out late and not talking with him. Or, she prefers to go to bed early. Some people need lots of sleep. Who knows. Its beyond your control, so no need to worry yourself. Treat her just like all these other slags.

It could be this however if I were in OP's shoes, I'd be willing to give her the benefit of the doubt because as he says she's graduating with a couple of decent degrees. It could be she simply hates waking up late in the morning and/or she's trying to make sure her schedule stays like that so that when she lands a decent 8-5 job she isn't killing herself trying to make the time adjustment from party mode to professional work mode.

What are you nervous about? She should be qualifying to your standards of what makes a girl dateable. If all she's got going on is her looks I'd move along. If she says her hobbies, are partying, reading, and Netflix, UFfda watchout.

If a girl is really hot and in this case she's a 9 i would put up with this for a date and see how it goes. But already telling you she can't be out late is definitely a bit of a buzz kill and signs of lukewarm interest. I'd escalate for sure on the date and move on if she's not reciprocating major interest.
 

"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.

I don't know. My experience tells me it's a potential kiss of death for the date. A built in opportunity for the brush off. There used to be the thought that if a man said that, it meant he wasn't into her, as no man would trade sleep for banging the girl of his dreams. It was hilariously dealt with on Seinfeld. Now that there is more of a blend of the gender sexual roles, it could mean that she's leaving a foot in the door in case it goes south.
Do the date anyway and see how it goes or if she uses the excuse to cut the date short. Can't hurt, especially when the prize is better than what you normally gamble on

Go to date and have fun, i would not worry too much about it.
treat her like any other wh0re out there, no special treatment. just because she is a HB9 doesnt mean she deserves special handling.

You drive a ford just like you drive a porsche mate, they are both cars.

Went out with an HB 9.5 and she did roughly the same thing for our first date, said she has under a time constraint. We went out and she had a blast, I offered to drop her off as her time limit was approaching in the middle of her having a blast with me and she was like "oh don't worry about it... ummm err that thing cleared up" and ended up staying with me a lot longer. Point of the story is that they sometimes use it as a built in excuse so that they can bail on a date going poorly. It's nothing personal and it won't matter when shes in the moment and having a blast. Don't take what a woman says, especially any sort of rules or restrictions too seriously.
 

"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.

Staying out late means getting drunk, which means getting fvcked. She's probably trying to tell you that she won't put out on the first date.

Went and got a haircut, got my shirt pressed, took a shower and shaved. Right about to call a cab and I get this verbatim:

"Hey I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I had some unexpected stuff pop up with my graduation and I really need to take care of that right now I'm going to have to cancel tonight I'm so sorry"

Damn man.

Things just don't pop up, shes full of shiit!

Tell her you're already on your way and that you spent your hard earned money on a cab, just to see what her response is..

Sounds like she found a better option

Btw, no rescheduling from her coupled with her previous need to get back earlier tells you all you need to know. She's chomping on another diick.

Btw, what city are you in?

I deleted her number, messages, and old calls. Agreed disrespectful and I will take the loss.

Although I was pissed I decided to take the high road and said,

"Thanks for the heads up, hope you get everything done, have a nice graduation."

Yeah kind of a puss response, but like I said I will just let this one go and take the L

I don't think that is a puss response. I would have said the same thing. Getting mad is pointless and self-defeating. I have fvcked more than one girl who flaked on me the first night. Act like you barely notice - if you had a hotter girl waiting for you as an alternative that is exactly how you would conduct yourself.
 

"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.
