"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 mean... there are several schools of thought with this.

Some guys say "try to make it look like you are just being a friendly chatty stranger".

Other says "be a man, do it directly and don't pretend you are interested in her purse color".

I mean... what are the pros and cons you think?

IMO, being indirect has the advantadge of defusing a lot of ***** shields because a girl doesn't get all defensive.

By the time she realizes you are picking her up, she's already into you (or she should be if you did your game allright).

On the other hand, I think it shows lots of balls to just go for it and say straight, this is the most minimalistic approach, of course "hey girl, I'm busy right now, but would love to chat with you, what's your #??".

I had success with both approaches. I don't think one is better, they are just different, some are better sometimes, other, some other times.

What is YOUR opinion?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Come on, she is going to know what you're doing anyways. By hiding it, you will just loose her respect.

Unask the question.

It's not about directness or indirectness, but about finesse. You could be making out within minutes of meeting or a subtle as can be.

Some of the best pickups are when you both know what's going on, but it's entirely unspoken. Whatever the flow of things dictates ~

The best thing is to be direct but inderect, meaning you show your intensions in your actions but you dont go up and say "hey wanna Fu**" all while being playfull and funloving.

it's definitely a game of subtleties.

i won't come right out and state my intentions....they know what they are.

however, if a woman asks me why i want to see her/why i'm hanging out with her, i usually tell her i have nothing but the worst intentions. they think i'm joking, too :D
 

"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.
