"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.

There is this girl I like, and she likes me (or so my friends say), though we are technically just friends, and it might be an opportunity for a long term relationship. The reason I'm posting this, is I'm just wondering what you guys thing about LTR's, I've never been in one. I've just been having trouble deciding if that's what I really want. And if you guys are in favor of it, what is a good way to initiate it? I had a good friend of mine tell me to ask her out for ice cream or something. We have been on a few dates, I even took her to prom, but I think those were mostly just sort of friend things. Any input would be nice.

Thanks guys,
Eiljwa
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I think you have to really connect with her to have an LTR, not just looks and personality but something else. Otherwise I think you'd be wasting your time.

I'am currently in a LTR of 4 months. We started out as friends, f*ckin her never crossed my mind. Then, my friends told me that she liked me. So, she started dressing all sexy n showing off her assests to get my attention. I started noticing her more, spending more one on one time with her. After awhile I asked her out. It has been the best LTR I ever had.

Since you like her and she likes you. Nothing wrong starting a LTR with her. Unless you see somthing in her that is not up to your standards. If it doesnt work out you can always dump her.

Any advice on initiating? We don't really hang out all the time, and never one on one.

You guys like each other, simply ask her to hang out.
 

"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.
