"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.

Last week me and my friend went a party. He started talking w/a girl who apparently he met a week earlier. I stayed on the sidelines but after a friend of mine came by and loudly shot the **** w/me, she started giving me IOIs. "I like your shirt" "You've seen you around...you're a rather attractive young man." However, at the time, I was still trippin over my one-its. In addition, I didn't know what my friend's plans were w/this girl. So basically I didn't make a move. He got a number at the end of the night. Whatever. When my friend brought her up, looking for approval, I mentioned her behavior towards me. Interestingly enough, he asked why I didn't act.

Then comes tonite. He finds her first, dances w/her and slowly leaves the party w/her. I leave w/my other friend and see them ahead. He turns around and starts talking w/me. Get this, he wants to play video games w/me and bring her along. Even stranger, she seems into it! He's an extremely outgoing and fun guy so that's why he pulls but I often question his ability to close. He isn't focused. At the time, despite my mixed feelings, I tried to help him. "Let's do it another time dude." He insisted and next thing I know we're outside my room. Fortunately for him, my controllers were locked in my suitemate's room so they had to bounce. The girl took a peek in my room, said it was nice. I put in a little C&F and then she bounced.

Strange encounter. But after he presumably hooks up w/her, could I get in as well? I'm not really talking about ethics...my friend is easygoing. But will she be cool w/it?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She'd probably be down, who are we to say? You said she seemed interested. If it doesn't bother you, then go for it. Did he even do anything with her?
