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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
ahh cool thanks man. She was just some girl who i started working with. Thanks!f283000 said:loohozer check the last link in my sig (deals with this type of situation).
Basically to keep it simple and not to complicate your life and become confused don't agree to "hang out" with a romantic interest + her friends UNTIL your status with her is somewhat defined.
If shes your gf then it's fine, if you kissed her then it's fine, if you banged her then it's fine. If you are barely working your game on her and haven't even kissed her yet I would stay away. Make it a point with this girl and with all future girls that if they want to use a part of your time it just needs to be the two of you together. Send the message that you are nobody's little toy and that you're a possible romantic partner not a hangout buddy.
Don't go out with chicks you work with unless you are sure it is going to be a LTR! chances are, you should not go out with them at all!loohozer said:ahh cool thanks man. She was just some girl who i started working with. Thanks!
