"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.
How do YOU maintain eye contact

"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.

will it be ok to break eye contact from a girl to sub-communicate "Hmp, I am the catch and you are not worthy"? Or will breaking eye contact a weakness?
One thing I noticed from girls that I have no particular interest in is that if I look around while we are talking as opposed to me maintaining eye contact is that they will work harder to get my attention, they will send me tons of IOI, you know the hair thing, the touching of my arm, compliments etc.
Or wait, how bout this. Maybe you should break eye contact and then MAKE IT AGAIN! That will show her that you're mysterious in case she already knows the looking away trick...she would never expect it. So look away for .72 seconds and then look back.JohnnyStrabler said:Ok, what about this perspective (thinking outside the box here)

think about it fellas, as I can recall nobles NEVER look at their servants in the eye, so would that also apply to women?
"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.

Ease said:What does that even mean? Respecting people and accepting people for what they are = eye contact?
Sounds like vague empty waffle to me.
Well that is just wrong. What on earth makes you say that? You look away from someone you distrust or are annoyed at?
You definitely stare them down and hold focus unless you are also intimidated. A salesman who you think is lying to you, you probably look even harder to detect it.
Eye contact is intimidation linked 99% of the time.
Only thing worst than vague empty waffle is false information.
You should look at it in context, e.i. cultural setting, business/private life, gender, etc.
It's %102 about intimidation when you are in jail. Between a woman and a men it is a whole other story. Does it mean that I should start intimidating women all over sudden?
