"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Unfortunately, the majority of my wardrobe is hand me downs from friends and their little brothers who have now outgrown me. So whenever I go out, it tends to be in a pair of pants that is probably at least 10 years old (and looks it), with a grungy 'ol T-shirt.

I'm interested in sprucing up my wardrobe a bit. My good friend (unbelievable DJ, best I've seen up close) recommends "Express" as far as affordable, yet still very nice clothes. He's stuck to Express and Banana Republic (the pretty-boy type).

I've already started taking a little extra care of myself with nicer haircuts, making sure it's done nice before I go out, a good clean shave, small stuff like that. The way I see it, if girls can spend HOURS getting ready to look good and go out, I'm sure they'll appreciate it when they see a clean-shaven guy next to the guy whose hair is a mess and has a five o'clock shadow.

I figure clothes is the next step. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

PS - Also, I'm not a 'thug' nor do I pretend to be one. So even if you recommend it, don't expect me to go running out to buy the latest FUBU or big ass goofy hat to wear sideways on my head. I'd feel, and look, retarted dressed up like that. I'm asking for clothes more along the lines of what they'd wear in a cheesy ass soap opera.
 

"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.

seriously, your look is important, but not THAT important, at first, sure, but I've seen guys get women all the time just wearing some cheap looking old outfit like a sleeveless shirt and some cheap looking pants.

But, here is what I've learned. Wear nice clothes, but don't look like you took forever to get dressed, make it look like you just threw something on. As long as you have nice clothes, and they match, it should turn out okay.

here is where I shop: American Eagle, J. Crew, Banana Republic, Structure(or is it express now?), Gap, Rue 21, Sears, Belks, freakin anywhere really I'm a shopaholic just because of the fact there tend to be TONS of women in all of those stores at just about any time of any day.

For me, personally, FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, I end up looking like I'm wearing a high fassion church outfit all the time, and I just throw something on before I leave.

if you really want to know what's "fassionable" or "stylish" then read GQ or Details. It's really best to be able to know what's stylish, but to have your own style at the same time and wear what YOU like. Like I wear grey pants pretty much all the time. I just put a matching shirt or t-shirt over them.
