"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.

In my other thread I talked about the girl in my class I wanted to ask out. Anyways I asked her out last week. She said thanks, but that she's too busy with summer school, and work, and that she's not looking for a relationship right now. Anyways we texted later and she said it was because she recently got out of a year long relationship and wasn't ready for dating. That I believe because I saw her facebook. She also goes to school in another area of the state so shes not home during school. She did ask me what my facebook was and added me.

Anyways we text A LOT lately so she apparently feels comfortable talking to me. I do flirt a little subtle too to give the hint that I like her. I asked her if I could sit next to her in class because the class is boring, and I have no one sitting next to me to talk to. She said sure.

Anyways apparently she doesn't mind talking to me, but just doesn't want to date.

Is there any suggestions I can have to go about this? I mean if she's nice to me and speaks to me a lot does that mean I could still have a slight shot maybe at least staying in touch with her, maybe getting to go out with her once just to hangout before she goes back to school?

Whats the best way to go about it? Summer semester ends the end of July. How do I talk her into maybe just going out at least once to hangout?
 

"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.

If I'm persistant, I don't mean by the creepy, stalker way, but just keep talking to her, joking with her, and subtle hints, could she possibly change her mind if she sees that I really do like her?

As stated above, she LJBFed your ass, and you didn't even see it. She was being nice by letting down easy.

When out of a relationship, if a chick meets somebody who really gets her juices flowing, she will be very open to something romantic/sexual with him. She will also make time for somebody she is interested in.

By asking if you could sit next to her, getting added on facebook, and texting alot, you just agreed to being her little puppy that follows her around. Nothing sexy about that. Don't be surprised if in a few weeks, she cuts contact with you, because she just found a fb, a bf, and she doesn't want jeopardize things with by keeping an orbiter like you around.

Get out with some dignity. NOW!

"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.

Its not about what you want. It is all about what she wants. She already knows you really do like her. She doesn't care waht you want or how much you like her. She doesn't like you in that way. Drop it, professor! :eek:

Yo Onegoal,


The more you pursue a chick who doesn't feel any passion for you, the more her lack of feelings for you will transform into disgust, disdain, and disrespect. Eject NOW, soldier!

The quicker you can get out of this situation, the more of your self-respect you'll have when you exit.

Persistence is great in almost all aspects of life EXCEPT love. The more your persist the more you fail and this case you'll jsut end up wasting time. Spend not a second more thinking about her. It''s tough but every second spent thinking about her is less time you have to get with someone else.

You had it easier than me. Mine wasn't in a relationship or anything, but she pursued and I thought she liked me and I asked her out and I got a bunch of BS.

But I always get rejected! I finally found one who was single and she still didn't want to go out. Why did she consider just asking her out to lunch a date for?

I'm not ugly. She also thought I was younger too and couldn't believe I'm 27. She thought I was around her age, 20ish.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

same **** happened to me. I thought this hot b!tch liked me but it was just bs and I moved on. I should have moved on after she rejected me, but I stuck on and I became too attached and than I ended up here because I was emotionally confused. Staying with her will just make you become more attached when you should just say **** it and move on. There are better girls out there. Once you find a better girl you'll wonder why you liked the previous girl because I"m realizing how plain and generic the girl I used to like was, and she isn't even that hot. Also I didn't have another girl to fall back on, so Papi is right.

Canada, eh?
There is no winning in that situation. The best thing to do is do nothing at all and go look for other women. Things like that always happen when there are no other women around. It happens too me sometimes. There is that other thing called "confident persistence", but that does work to an extend and you have to be confident at the first place and have other women. Sometimes it's best to be a sosuave "solder" and just next everyone left and right until you are at the point where you can control yourself very well and read situations/people fluently, which is a better option.

Are you slow, man? A little retarded? She doesn't want to date you.

What more is there to say about this girl? Move on.

I hate when guys like you get obsessed over one chick, as if this girl matters. Some girls will want to date you. Others will not. And this is the world of dating. Move on....

So we texted again this afternoon back and forth for about an hour. She said she likes talking to me too.

I mean she has to know I like her because I asked her out last week, and keep talking to her, and kinda minorly flirty back and forth. At the end of the semester next month would it be okay to try and ask her to go out sometime and do something?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
