"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.

She is putting a lot fo energy into reminding you of how poorly the relationship/end of the relationship went.
So we now know that she is still hurting because of it and, yes, she is trying to justify keeping it by convincing you that you were such an ass she deserves it.
You are doing the right thing by not engaging her. She will run out of steam eventually.
You can attempt to diffuse her/the situation by replying something like "I'm sad to see that you are still in pain from the ending of our relationship"
(because that IS what is going on)
And then further say something to the effect of " it wasnt easy on me either. I understand that you would prefer to keep the ring but I do own it, and I would like it back"

You do not, and should not, give her any reasons as to 'why'. why you want it back doesnt matter because there is no need to justify it, and there is no reason that will make her say "okay! Here you go!"

Just keep reiterating that it is your property and would like it back. give her a deadline and do this all in writing (email/text) Do NOT entertain any of her off topics writings. Just stick to the fact that it is your rung, you are sad she is still hurt, and you would like the ring back
 

"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.

I've decided to drop this. I'd like to just forget about it and re-block her.

Since this was a very expensive lesson, it's one I'll never forget. Thanks for the advice, boys and girls.
