"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.

It is 8am...

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I also have this problem. What you gotta do is just go one day without going to sleep and go to bed at 11 or 12 or whatever that nite and then get up at 8 or 9 or whatever the following day then go to bed at 11 again and get up at 9 again and so on and so forth til the pattern is back to what you want it to be. If you think you can't do that then go get sleeping pills for a week or two and you sould be fine.

I had the same problem until I cut coffee out completely. I even needed the whole 10 hours sleep. Since I stopped drinking java all the time I have a LOT more energy, get to sleep at normal times and only need 7-8 hours of it. Maybe you've got the same problem. How much coffee do you drink?
 

"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.

Seriously your complaining that your an insomniac when you stay up all night and sleep during the day... it's completely your fault. Stay up for 2 days and go to bed at a certain time and then get up in the morning. Repeat until your body clock adjusts back to normal.

DOH KAY! :crazy:

Cause of course I am in total agreement with you about what is normal.

And of course I haven't tried to be normal before.

:yawn: You sound like my high school principal. :yawn:

my third all nighter...oh god. 1 more and i'll be done with this horrible week.
 

"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.

This is not a record kid!! I did six consecutive all-nighters posting on SoSuave in 2004!!!
 

"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.

You will all be happy to know that I fell asleep at 3am last night (or whatever), and woke up at 8am. :)

Got a lot to do today...

The secret to my success was that shortly after I woke up yesterday (around 6pm, if you recall), something frustrated me and pissed me off to the point where I just sat and cried for like 5 minutes. I said I had been having a bad week, lol! And I am a girl, so I am allowed to cry. ;)

Worked like a charm! I was tired all night from that, and fell right out at 3am, instead of... well damn, now! Normally I'd be going to sleep right now!

Are you by any chance an engineering student? We're the only people I know who have done more then 2 consecutive days of study.

No I'm a biochemistry student. However, you are correct. Most of my buddies are suffering as well since we all take the same intro courses. A lot of my buddies are in BME or ChE.

Tonight is my last night of all night PAPER WRITING this time. After tonight this hellish week will be over and I may rest in peace.

So, with that said...time to pull this all nighter ONE MORE TIME.

Just so you guys know doing exercise has nothing to do with sleep it doesn't help you at all it will just take the energy out of your body but your mind can still be wide awake. I'm probally one of the fittest kids around or am usually and my sleeping is still in bad ways as I have the same problem as iqqi as I have to wait untill I'm really tired in order to sleep and that makes me miss most of the next day.

On school days I'm lucky to get 4/5 hours.
