"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.

So I know this doesn't have to do with girls, so feel free to move if this isn't in the right forum.

Anyway, I'm a senior this year in High School and today was our first day. The vast majority of my school friends graduated last year, and I have a almost no friends in any of my classes (This is also due to a number of reasons, but let's just leave it at I'm not that popular)

So seeing as I don't have friends in a lot of my classes, I realize I need to make some new friends. Problem is, everyone has been together for about 12 years and friendship circles have already been well-established and preconceived notions have already been long made. I'm not a shy person whatsoever and I'm a great conversationalist. In fact, I'm very good when talking to girls. But that's really the issue here. I have so many female friends because talking to girls is very easy to me after reading and practicing a lot of DJ material. (Don't get the wrong idea, Its not that I'm failing at being DJ because I have a lot of female friends who are just friends, I have a girlfriend currently.) I really need to make guy friends at school.

So how does one go about making guy friends in a place that has had cliques for years, and a good part of the class already has a feeling of superiority to you? Girls are easy to just approach, lay on charm, show how fun you are, and you're in. Guys you can't just go up to and talk. At least not in my school.

Help would be appreciated.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

So are you new in the school? How new?

I was new to my school last year, but I don't imagine it to be anything like what you're describing.

If I were you now, I'd just befriend everyone. Although you don't want to eat lunch with the unpopular kids, you want to be a bit with everyone. Maybe do sit by their table and spread some good vibes some days. Try to just be a positive light in people's eyes. Walk around from clique to clique with a smile on your face. Eventually, you'll become the bridge. What is a bridge you say? A bridge is someone that connects two or more different social groups together. This will give you a lot of value and enable you to lead and organize events with your friends.

Not at all actually, I've been in the school system since preschool. I just played my cards wrong along the way with choosing to throw some friendships away.

i would totally go sit with people and strike up a conversation, but my school is incredibly cliquey to the point where all conversation would stop and people would wonder why I'm sitting with them.
