"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.

So about a week ago this local girl contacted me over Myspace. We hit it off pretty well, have a ton in common (it's scary how much) etc. I'm having a hard time figuring out what her intentions are, though.

The issue is this (and it's kind of complicated):

For the past few days she has been dumping a lot of stuff on me. She's talking about her boyfriend (yes, complicated...) of about 2 months. She's talking about a bunch of crap about him, that they had a big fight and she stopped communicating with him. She's asking me for advice, whether or not she should try to talk to him again or give up.

Now, I am retarded with this kind of thing. Why would she be talking about this to me? I have ideas but I don't want to say why, because I may be wrong.

I'm interested in this girl. I just don't know what her intentions are. We talk on MSN, and she always messages me when I log on, just to talk about stuff.

What should I do? What is SHE doing? I am so confused. I don't want to become a crying shoulder for her. I ultimately would like to perhaps date her.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Good call... :up:
 

"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.

Would be very accurate. Let's just say that prospects don't come my way very often.

Ah well.

Which means you will act desperate and needy at the first hint of interest from her.

What are your goals?

^^^
I JUST ME A GIRL ON MYSPACE TOO, ACTULLY IT IS GOING WELL
OK BEING TOO ALIKE CAN GET BORING FAST, AND TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HERE INTENTIONS ARE JUST ASK HER



The issue is this (and it's kind of complicated):

For the past few days she has been dumping a lot of stuff on me.
She's talking about her boyfriend

^^^WOMEN ARE EMOTIONAL PITS, IF SHES HAVING A HORRIBLE CONCSIOUS THOUGHT, SHE IS NEGITIVE AND SHE IS OBSESSIVE

She's talking about a bunch of crap about him, that they had a big fight and she stopped communicating with him. She's asking me for advice, whether or not she should try to talk to him again or give up.

^^^ TELL HER TO STOP TALKING TO HIM BECAUSE IT MAKES HER THINK ABOUT HIM AND THAT MAKES HER SAD, AND IN A BAD MOOD



Now, I am retarded with this kind of thing. Why would she be talking about this to me? I have ideas but I don't want to say why, because I may be wrong.


^^^ SHE TALKS TO YOU THAT WAY BECAUSE YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STAND OR TOLIRATE HER AND HER WINEY LITTLE SELF.

I'm interested in this girl. I just don't know what her intentions are. We talk on MSN, and she always messages me when I log on, just to talk about stuff.

^^^^^ SAME THING, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET HER PHONE NUMBER IF YOUR SO INTRESTED


What should I do? What is SHE doing? I am so confused. I don't want to become a crying shoulder for her. I ultimately would like to perhaps date her

^^ YEAH I AGREE, NOBODY WANTS TO BE AN EMOTIONAL TAMPON , IF YOU WANT TO DATE HER MAN, TAKE THE NESSASARY STEPS.....AND WALK IT OUT......

JUST WALK IT OUT..... ~HOLLOW

Actually, I think I'm giving up. This girl is way too much of a mental case-- she basically sounds like she wants someone to support her so she doesn't have to work, and is ridiculously clingy. She says she expects her boyfriend to spend 90% of his free time with her. Come on... ridiculous

Even I have standards...
 

"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.
