"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.

Paternity fraud

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Since we all agree that paternity tests should be administered, I'd like to know what the most graceful way - and moment - is to broach the subject. Keep in mind if you say that you want to get one, you are saying "I don't trust that I'm the only penis who was in your vagina 9 mos. ago." While it's sensible perhaps to THINK these things, how do you say them without sounding like an insecure idiot?

And when? Early on in a marriage? At the moment of birth? How much time is there between the actual birth and the signing of the certificate to do it secretly? I really know very little about this subject.
Well, I was speaking of unwanted pregnancies in particular. If you've been trying to conceive, I think that asking for a paternity test would severely compromise your marriage and paint you as an insecure lunatic, as you mentioned.

I'd wager you could have it done in the hours after birth while the mother is in recovery. However, I wouldn't be surprised if hospitals won't do paternity tests without the mother's consent. Some states even require a wife's consent for the husband to have a vasectomy! (but of course they don't require the husband's consent for the woman to have her tubes tied)
