"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.

Well as I said earlier, I'd met this girl elsewhere and gotten the digits. I found her number about a week later and we chatted mostly online before meeting up (she said she wasn't a fan of the phone). Online she was feisty and seemed to give back a lot of the barbs.

Anyway, I met up with her to see a play in downtown (for the record, it was a bad venue for ice-breaking; semi-expensive and I hardly got to talk to her at all between and before acts). Christ. Where did all the agression go? She was so flat I couldn't believe it was the same person. I'll give her this; she was pleasant. But pleasant isn't enough. I want Tracy and Hepburn chemistry.

I won't be calling her again though I did half-heartedly say I would. Made a quick but polite exit and now I'm wondering if people tend to 'give it back' more freely over IM. If that's the case, I'm sticking to the phone from now on.
 

"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.

actually, going to a play was a bad idea for all the reasons you listed. Don't do things where you can't talk on the first date.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

A play is actually a good idea as long as its following coffee/lunch/dinner.

You need time to build rapport and get to talking first. I actually took a girl to a play once after dinner but I knew before dinner was finished that we were not going to click. I was going to leave her there actually, and just go to the play on my own but my AFC kicked in and I took her to the play and the night ended with a kiss, her promise to call me and her having a new boyfriend two weeks later.

Moral of the story: Don't take her to the play if dinner sucks.

It looks like my friend's opening set isn't for another few weeks (I got the impression it was sooner).

I'm not too wild about this anymore, but I might just leave her a message saying "concert is a no go until mid-may, hit me up if you want to get together sooner" and not call her again unless she's the one who does it first. I already have another date on Friday anyway (this one's hotter).

Why would you tell her "hit me up if you want to...", you put the ball in her court like a pansy. Stop acting like a wuss. If you want to see her, set things up with her yourself.

Er, I really don't; thought we covered that. I'm just trying to be polite.

what do you want from me *****, you're killing me *****, you're like the boogey man, you're haunting me *****
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
