"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.

Sorry this came out long, guys.

So there is this girl who sort of works with me (but neither of us is ever there, so we don't see each other at work much, like once every two weeks maybe). When we do see each other, there is this tension, light flirting, but definitely tension. It's been there since the first time i've met her. I've noticed it a few times, but I never acted on it because I have my hands full and if I went for her it would be complicated for many reasons. I also don't do ANYTHING to give her a reason to believe that I am interested except for talk to her once in a while, be nice to her, etc.

So she is at our company holiday party, and she is with her boyfriend. I am just there with friends. Throughout the party, she leaves her boyfriend multiple times to dance with me. EACH TIME she initiates the dance, including a couple of slow ones. She does not approach any other guys for this, just me. I am my ****y self throughout, so i literally ask her whats up with her dancing with me instead of the BF (acting clueless and all) and she says something along the lines of "well, he doesnt wanna get up and dance" even though he did dance with her some.

When pictures of people were taken, she literally got up from her seat next to her boyfriend and made me take a picture with her. In front of everyone. As a matter of fact, about 5 separate people told me like "what the hell is going on with her dancing with you" and "im scared her bf is going to kill her when they go home" :crackup: If i was her boyfriend, I'd be mad as hell at her.


I've been the "other man" before, and i didn't like it. I even have a personal thing against the women that attempt to change relationships midflight. So i am not sure where this is going to go. But that evening pretty much confirmed my hunches that this girl likes me. I am 100% sure that if i wanted to, i could take her from the BF just like that. And at the same time i know i am not going to do that, i dont need the drama and the headaches. But i've heard from other people that she is thinking of leaving her b/f, etc... And if that does happen and she persists on being her charming self, i don't know where it would go.

Regardless, its a weird situation. The main problem here is that this girl is one of the cooler chicks i've met. Hot, smart, very sexy, fiercly independent, successful, and just the right mix of bad and good girl. She makes most of the recent chicks that I've picked up or slept with feel cheap and tacky. I dance with tons of girls every week, and she's the first since my last LTR ex who felt, well, 'worthy'. If i was still my AFC self, i would be totally having a crush on her. But since im a learned man, i keep my feelings in check. But I am a sucker for tension and long term seduction. I've had a history of screwing around with lesser chicks when reeling in the really good girls everyone wanted through a drawn out long process. I also know that if she keeps playing her game, I will be more likely to go for it because.. well... its the sort of a conquest I enjoy.


so here are my questions:

-am I wrong in taking the party thing as a real (and a pretty ballsy) sign of interest?
-Should I totally let her play her cards and see what happens? Keep myself in check and still not give her any IOIs?

I guess my main problem is that I don't know what to do with her. I'd feel like an ass if i caused her to break with her BF and then drop her a few weeks later. At the same time, my hunter instinct is kicking in and I just wanna take her.

"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.

Tell me about it... you wont be able to meet these type of girls everyday.

The party thing you shouldnt take it as a genuine sign of IOI. Its possible she did it to mess with her bf's head and get him jealous.
Altho i would give her some time to prove her IOI to you in other situations.
Unfortunately with girls who have bf's, all you really can do is let her play her cards, that's if you want a shot at this. Usually she'll be calling the shots as to wherever 'you and her' develop to. Either that or if you dont want to, then walk away.

On a side note: im very much in your shoes except i've been seeing this girl for over a month. It just occurs to me that if a relationship is bound to crumble, even if you didnt come along....it will crumble. And true how most girls end up upgrading their bf if a better catch comes along. There are some girls who dont like the idea of being alone, and allow themselves to have a bf just for the sake of having that status.

I say, if the girl doesnt immediately dump her bf for you, and still keeps him around. The best thing to do is see other women at the same time so you wont get emotionally attached to this particular one.

good reply dude.

yeah, i am not quitting my chicks any time soon. Unless I am commited in a relationship, nothing comes between me and my game. I am also well aware of the whole jumping boyfriend thing, as a matter of fact I dont think I would be for her to run to immediately if she does leave her bf. I would only consider ANYTHING if she is alone, sane, independent, not desperate, etc, etc, etc.... Last thing i'd want is to get pulled into the drama.

I am pretty sure I wouldnt let her play by her rules either. She's gonna have to adjust to me if she wants anything to do with me.

Exactly dude, that's also my way of thinking. If you play it right and let her adjust to you, there shouldnt be drama at all. And if there is, you can pull out the "you have a fvckin bf" card on her which can easily shut her up. Believe me, if any drama occured i'd do the same or walk away.

yeah

the only possible screw up i can see is letting her know im possibly interested or god forbid hooking up while she is still with a b/f..

not planning on it, but she is a hottie and my type and all.. And after dancing with her i know we'd be good in bed together.. :eek:


yeah... im gonna go call an f-buddy and get this **** out of my system...
 

"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.
