"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.

She called at the last hour and flaked on me. She said she wanted to spend the 1st with her family.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

IMHO, do not take it that harsh, it is actually okay, and rather normal to spend theese days with your family 31st/1st

Age of the girl? no really if she's not 14 or 15, it's very rare what euro-dj suggested.

While some people do spend NYE with family, girls in college or post-grad (young adults) are looking to go out instead of stay in. The timing of her call is fishy too - waiting until the last hour? I'm not saying this is 100% a flake, but I feel it is. It falls in line with how a lot of flake situations work. The fact she waited until the last hour is not respectful - you're left out in the cold because it's so close to when the ball drops.

Dude don't trip, I just had a chick Flake on me, well sort of

  • 1st she wants to go watch a movie/drink
  • Then she wants to do a group date (my mate and her girlfriend)
  • Then she wants us to come instead of them
  • and Now she says her sister is gonna be there plus another friend

It's to much going on, I need this girl one on one so I can work it, so we re-scheduled for tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath(continues to look for more plates)

:rolleyes:

p.s. my buddy has some girls coming tonight but if they flake well do what we always do hit the field for glory

:woo:
 

"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.

Family means nothing in America. At 18 they kick you out! To be a momma's boy in America is an insult! In most countries EVERY man is proud to be one!

In the former Soviet Union it is like Christmas. Christmas is the 7th of January and religious in nature. The 31 is like Christmas Eve. Gift exchanging. Very much a family time. Muslims celebrate it as well. You have a tree and everything else. Then Santa brings the kids stuff at night for New Year's morning. What is the point? The point is that if you knew this you would have yourself a beautiful young gf :yes:

We are celebrating like that, being a christian greek orthodox is something i am rather proud of. But We shouldn't discuss religion.

Did not know it was that extreme, i have my own place, i - atleast- act like a man (dunno if you can actually be a man when you are 18?), but i still go visit my familiy the 7th January for christmas, and 31st. There are a hell lot of parties the 31st, but i guess i will survive, spending time with family is important too - IMO.

Family time is important as well. This holiday season, I managed to cook a few meals for mom and pops. I find it satisfying being able to take care of the people that look out for your well-being.
