"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.

This day is a great day of the awkwardy history!

I was in this library, looking for a place to study. Then she came in, must have been a 6-7 something. I really liked her looks. Since I had never thought I could get any person above a 3-4.

So she looked a bookshelf and I come from her side and looked at the books too.

I started to talk a little with her, mainly about the book she was looking at and what books she liked and so fourth. She seemed to like me and I leaned into her space and I could see her pupils getting larger.

At last I asked her if she would like to join me for lunch and she agreed.

GREAT ! ! ! I though, she definatly seemed attracted to me. (She asked for my name and smiled a lot. Here pupils were widened and she had an open posture.)

Well just when we were about to walk into the resturant she began talking about her boyfriend that had come along to her journey, which we talked about. I thought "BOYFRIEND! whata**** do I do now?" I couldn't pull out now, not inside the resturant. So I thought, "hey whatahell, lets try a little NLP at her and see how she responds to it. She responded good, and was comfterable with me. (I made it look like we were very alike as persons, which we were. )

I decided to get the hell out of there when I had finished my lunch. She asked me then if I would like to join a club were she was going to. I said I was busy and got the hell out of there. I WANTED TO **** HER, NOT TO BE HER FRIEND! Did I do the right thing? I'm kind of angry at her. You don't go and have lunch with a complete stranger if you have a boyfriend! Do you think she was attracted to me? Should I have given her any compliments? I said she was nice once, embedded in a sentence. She talked most of the time and I listened mostly. She just talked and talked and talked. We didn't talk to much about me. Except when I said we were alike when she told something new about herself.

This was a success never-the-less cause it was my first approach. And it turned out to be fun.
 

"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.

I think she wanted you to join that club because she could tell you were interested and saw you as a good d!ck in a bottle prospect, not to mention an emotional tampon prospect. You did the right thing by getting out when you did.

Congrats on making a successful approach!! Go find a better girl to use your skills on!! :)

The truth will set you free..... but first, it'll REALLY p!ss you off.

"You make a living by what you get. But you make a life by what you give." -- Winston Churchill

"It is not enough to have great qualities, we should also have the management of them." -- La Rochefoucauld
 

"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.

Thanks princess


StuartScott:

Yeeh It would sure do, but it sounds kind of desperate to use in the first five minutes of conversation.

Sometimes ditching a couple of girls helps with the confidence. Gives you the attitude that there are more options out there. NEXT!

Damn, l never get tired of laughing of this
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Awkward, I can understand your anger, but I wonder if you are taking this too seriously. I'm not suggesting that you become her emotional tampon, but you may have missed an opportunity to DJ her friends, or really see what's up with this girl.

I would have asked for her phone number and then made a decision later on whether or not to call her. She could be good for social proof, too.

In terms of looking for a gf (in the short term), I agree with saying NEXT to the girl, but I don't think you should be mad at her for eating lunch with you. If a hottie met you at the library, and asked you out for lunch, I think that most of us would go, even if we had a gf.

Well I do see my misstake. I'm a bit too serious, but you have to go to the extreme before you actually can learn something new. That's the way it is.


I bumped into her yesterday and got her number. As you said, she may have girlfriends


Thanks for the answer man.
