How long do you guys typically wait to say this to a woman when in a LTR?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
I love you

"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.

after a nice bj
"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.

never before.
I have noticed that you can say/respond to her without saying it directly, and doesnt seem to loose your frame:
"I love the way you do/say it/thing"
"I would really love it if you/we did/do thing"

Lol I've said it to chicks I wasn't even with. Like they give me a bag of chips and I'm just like "holy ****, I love you". I'd expect an "I know" or something but they actually say "I love you too" haha and then I dunno what to think aside from chomping on my chips. All is acceptable given the context of the situation I suppose.

Never
"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.

This. I NEVER tell a woman that I love them. I show them. She can judge me by my actions. When she says "I love you.", I just tell her to "Get over here and prove it.", or "Show me how much."
If you find yourself in a 'relationship', where a woman gets ticked off with you for not parroting back "I love you." like a trained monkey, dump her. If she can't see by your actions how you feel about her then she will not be happy in a relationship.

+1. "I love you" is poison. You drop those words and the entire power dynamic changes, or at least she believes it does. She can also throw them in your face any time she is cross or wants something. "But you said you loved me...". "If you loved me you would....". When a woman tells me she loves me I either say 'thanks' or 'I know'.

You have to act like you really liked hearing what she said, and say this with a smile on you face. Works well... but you can't be a @ss.
