"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.

Not 100% sure about committing to a relationship with this chick, couple of reasons

I really should use this forum more often.

Anyway, we've been dating for about four months and its all going great. She asked to be exclusive once, but I didn't agree at that time - she was kinda peed off about that and told me how gutted she felt but to take as long as I want. I don't know if this means anything but a few days before she changed her status on Facebook so it came up in the news feed for all to see "no longer listed as single".

The actual reason was that I don't really feel comfortable with her general appearance (a 6). There were a few flabby bits in some areas that didn't bother me at all, she was far from overweight, she just isn't very confident about herself and her dress sense isn't to my taste. Either way I had her in the FB category.

In the meantime I can honestly say I think shes won me over, I'm impressed.

She hasn't gone moody at any point yet apart from complaining when I don't respond to her texts straight away but shes got used to that now and when I told her I didn't want to be committed. Generally shes always bubbly and has her emotions in tact (always smiling, teasing etc. being playful and not taking life too seriously). Sh1t tests have been minimal, recently haven't come across any that I'm aware of. Always wanting to see me whenever she's free, but I've kept this to a couple of times a week. Treats me like a nice guy would to a HB, but better. For example I stayed at hers this morning as she had the day off, must have creeped out of bed, woke me up with a breakfast ready made, gave an awesome blow-job just before I left for work.

On top of that she's hitting the gym all the time and its becoming clear shes lost weight, parts of her body feel more firm and smooth and shes looking healthy. Its good for us to feed off each other as shes noticing how much more muscular I've been getting over the past few months. I'm thinking how shes gonna be in a few months time if she keeps it goin :D

Here's my reasons for not feelin 100%:
"THE EX" - I could do with some help on this situation. I do not know when they broke up, I'm suspicious it was summer last year. From what she's said they were together for 3 and a half years. He went on a lads holiday and met someone over there who lives not far away, basically came back and told her he's found someone better who's way better looking and slimmer. He then got this other girl pregnant, they've split up and recently he started orbiting the chick I'm seeing now, although she claims she has been ignoring these texts.

I have seen this ex, we were at a club and she suddenly pulls me to another part of the dancefloor pointing him out. Strange that this guy didn't speak to her, although she told me they had bumped into each other earlier with him asking her "wow your looking great", "is that your new man?" and "why havn't you responded to my texts" with her responding "I've moved on, so should you" - that is what she claimed they said anyway. Looking on Facebook there is a photo of them together dated last year, and its definitely is that guy, OMG the girl am seeing now looks 3 stone heavier back then. Anyway, no one is tagged and it looks like he doesn't appear in her friends list. There's also no other photos of them.

The ex thing is a major biggie, I really hope someone on here might be able to explain something on this.

The other issue is the looks thing, but this doesn't bother me as much as it did. Its just that I get a little unsure when I'm out and see better looking women. It wasn't long ago I spotted a HB checking me out while her friend was with another guy. I'm worried that if I did score with a HB, I could loose control and cheat on her.

Either-way, if the ex thing goes over what is the best way to approach being exclusive? Wait for her to ask again, or is she waiting for me?

Is all that she's done to impress me, like the way shes going out of her way for me, going to end as the challenge would no longer be there?

If anyone could keep me in check and tell me they think I've gone crazy or have genuinely found a quality chick that would be appreciated. I've only been in one relationship before and that only lasted a few months.
 

"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.

Remind me WHY you want to commit to a relationship with her?

You gave absolutely NO reason and then listed a bunch of reasons why you shouldn't.

If you're doing things "right" then why switch it up? She's hitting the gym and impressing you so that she can lock you in. And I'm sure that as soon as you do commit, you'll turn into the AFC from a few months ago and that is why you are posting all of this, because you are afraid it will change.

If you are with her and looking at better looking women and thinking you'd like to go out with them, then why aren't you going out alone and trying to get more plates to spin?

It almost sounds like you are settling... AGAIN.
Last time it was a 4... now it's a 6. At least you moved up, but no one said you HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. Right now, she's keeping at it because you are a challenge to her and you continue to be that challenge.

At NO point should you be discussing how you feel about her and for the love of God, do NOT bring up the exclusivity talk.

To be honest, I don't see why any man would want to be "exclusive" with a woman just after 4 months. 6 months is the first make or break period for me. True colors start to shine... and then again at the one year mark.

4 months ISN'T enough time to just "settle" for a 6 just because she's won you over. She's making you breakfast and giving you BJ's before work and you want to lose that? You think committing to her means that you will get MORE of it? Not necessarily... so why change what you are doing right now?

Continue feeling her out but find other women to go out with as well... PLEASE.

You remember what happened the last time YOU settled.

This. ^

You're getting emotionally attached. Do not grant her exclusivity until you know for sure she's genuinely loyal and is willing to continue working out after you're boyfriend and girlfriend.

Although the breakfast w/ dessert thing was priceless. :)
