"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.

So. I've read the bible, etc.. recently divorced.

Meet a friend of a coworker at a bar. Hit it off, kino, big signs of interest. After an hour, leave together. Go for a walk, kiss, back to my place. Says she's not gonna have sex and shes a virgin. (Know to be untrue now)

I Text her 2 days later. Flirt in a few texts.
Ask her to bowling, says it sounds fun and she'll check schedule
Next night, I text and ask her out specific time.
Says "shoot I never text you back the other day" can't, has church (ash Wednesday)

I say "If you're interested, get back to me. If you're not, I had a good time and wish you the best. Your ball."

No reply

On FB later we talk a minute then I straight out ask if she's interested.
"Yes I would like to hang out sometime I should get my schedule Monday or Tuesday so I can tell you when I'm free then.

Talk a minute and end it.


Now Tuesday night, no word.

Flakey? **** test? Hard to get? Legitimate excuses? No interest.

Next move?
 

"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.

She doesn't sound very interested and can smell your desperation to top it off. You shouldn't have asked her again the next day if she hadn't gotten back to you.

Cut contact, only let her initiate contact and come to you. That's about all you can do, and I wouldn't hold my breath. Start meeting other girls.

Sounds fair enough. I wonder where I went wrong. Hard to tell if you're not following me around I guess lol

Don't contact her on Wednesday either. Ball is in her court. You already explained that to her. Your words.

Don't F up even more.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It sounds like very low interest level. Just because she fooled around with you one night doesn't mean she is up for more.

Back off and see if she contacts you. Odds are very slim here. I'm sorry man.

Well I appreciate the advice. Sometimes the "slim chances" response is really what a guy needs to hear. Lesson learned right?

Wish I could have learned the lesson on, oh, a 5! But can't go back haha

Umm, you shouldn't of asked if she was interested. I think that killed it completely. You stuffed it up man. Find someone else. That's a question you leave for the girl!
