"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.

Ok, I have never had trouble getting a date or involved in a relationship, but for the past year I decided not to date anyone. I met someone a month ago we have talked on the phone a bunch but we have both been to busy to go on a date yet because of work schedules, she seems to be really cool and I thought about sending her some flowers just so she knows I am thinking about her but I don't know if thats a good idea? What do you guys think?
 

"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.

no, it's probably not a good idea. How old are you?

Yea seeing that I have never been the type to buy much of anything unless it was a suprise for someone I had been dating 4awhile buying someone flowers that I have yet to go on a date with might be alittle much. Just thought it might be a way to let her know I was thinking about her seeing that with are work schedules it might be a few more weeks before I get a chance to take her out!
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Flowers bad. Contact good. Force a date. Maybe even an afternoon coffee date. The weather is turning nice, ask her to play some tennis or mini golf with you. If she can't give you an hour, she isn't going go give you much more.

In a perfect world flowers would be a very sweet surpirse, but, unfortunatly, in our world of insecurity and competition it would probably seem weird to her. You have noble intentions, but it probably would not be the proper thing to do.

Just tread lightly. I was unaware that it was your schedule that took up a majority of your day, but try to act soon. Even if it is for work, waiting too long can cause her to lose interest. Most importantly dont put her on a pedistal. Just because you think she is good and you have not had any action for quite some time does not make her the only one. See what you can work out. Hopefully you can close the deal. Good luck.
 

"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.
