"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.

I'm back! Oh yeah, and did I f**k up?

Hey all. You might remember me from a few years ago. I was in an LTR with an HB, who I got utilizing my eroded-as-you-will-soon-see DJ skills, but it ended a few months ago. A correlation?

Now I'm trying to get my back on track. My skills are gone, believe me! So I'm gonna be seeking advice from you guys for a bit.

The new girl:
I met her at work. Sunday night we went out on an "action date"-our third date counting my first lunch invitation.
She informed me she would be back at the office on Monday and Tuesday. I think "not the best situation" for an out-of-practice Trim, but what could I do?

So on Monday, she invites me out to lunch. It's good. I tease her a bit. Sympathize a bit. It ended well enough. Kissed good bye.

Then on Tuesday, things seemed tougher. I felt strange seeing her a third day straight, so I tried to not be around. However, there was a work meeting, so I had to be there. She ended up being there, too.

Now my questions to you.
From what you've read, did I f**ck up? And what, if not everything, did I do wrong.

She hasn't called back. What is your take on it? She got the job and is busy? She is s**t testing me? Did I come across as disrespectful and turn her off? She initiated the last date and paid, so is she testing my interest to see if I call regardless of her words?

What should I do at this point? Call back? Wait (I'm guessing forever) for her call? Call back (and probably get the answering machine) bring up my comment and tell her how that totally came out wrong and seemed disrespectful and/or pining, then pine for another date on the machine? :rolleyes:

Thanks ahead for your help and don't worry about being gentle (cause I know you won't!):D

"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.

hey man, i feel ya and have been there in this type of situation. First of all, how long has it been. Time frames are helpful to get perspective.

Honestly, I would just go bout my bisness and meet some other girls in the process. If something comes up that you want to do and maybe you think she would enjoy too call her up out of the and invite her.

It seems like you are focused on calling to be in touch. Sounds needy to me which is no good. Why not reframe and focus on activiities you want to do and being with someone to enjoy them with. Get busy and the right person you will find will enjoy these same activities and will be chasing you to keep up...-dirtycm

How many women are you working on?

When you're only working on one, you get too wrapped up in her, giving her more attention than she deserves, and continually second-guessing yourself (which you're doing right now).

Thanks GirlCrazy. Good advice.

I'm only working on one, this one right now. It took me over a month to get over losing my fiance. And this lady showed some interest at work. I just haven't gotten out to look for others.

I do need to get out and get some girls in the pipeline. I know that would help. Let me tell you, just going out with this one helped me forget about the fiance almost overnight.

So what do I do about this one? Try to find more ladies and let her call if she wants?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I would just work on getting those DJ instincts back, and look at this current chick (and the next couple dozen) as practice. It takes a lot of work to get back to the top of your game, and until that happens, accept that you're probably not going to make the best decisions, and don't put such high expectations on your game.

Whether you screwed up with this chick or not doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things - there's still about a billion more chicks to practice on. So call her if it suits you, or wait and see if she calls you - it shouldn't matter. Your own personal development matters much more at this point than any piece of tail.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the help. I didn't call, but she called today. Date is planned for Monday. Maybe I'm making the right moves but I'm
not confident about what I'm doing anymore.

Hey, just relax and go with the flow. You sound like you're doing more than fine. I always advise people to have more than one option. I think it's male nature to get clingy and AFC when there's only 1 person we're dating and it is early on.
