"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.

I know it is better to talk to girls in person, but I have no choice for this weekend. I need some hints for texting. I know you are suppose to keep your messages short, but last night she would ask me like 3 questions in one text. What do?
 

"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.

Don't get crossed up with multiple texts or it gets derailed.

Keep every message either funny or romantic.

some men will tell you texting should only be used to set up/confirm dates

i'm 24, texting is my life. it is what it is. i cant remeber the last time i called someone to talk. so since it's a big part of my life, it also is a big part of my game.

you have to be interesting, and sometimes mysterious. that includes short, open ended answers to her questions and leaving on a high note.

i almost never ever open with a hello or a hey. and i never ask "whatsup?" because we all know the answer to that is "nothing much, you?"

i just jump right into something interesting or random to spark interest and go from there.

there are also little keys to know when to stop. if she texts me "lol!" or "hahaha!", but nothing else to progress the convo, i use that cue to stop texting. you always want to leave on a high note and preferibly have her be the last one to text you.

dont reveal too much of yourself or text too much/too often or you'll become her little text buddy. just enough that she has an idea of who you are, but wants to find out more by meeting in person
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I feel that alot of us need to focus on acquiring these skills , because like it or not , from here on out its only going to become more necessary ,

tech is only going to make people more anti social , and if you cant warm up over texts , then some one who can will weed you out

yup. the game doesn't change, but the way we implement it does. being interesting, funny, mysterious, leaving an impression--all tips you use in real life, now we're just sending them via text. nothing's changed

There are a lot of older guys on this forum, so this isn't the best place to ask for texting advice. They don't understand how completely normal it is for people our age to set up meet ups, bang outs, and dates through texting. It's not as risky as they say it is. Most of my friends NEVER even call, and still get consistent sex and relationships.

That said, I would text her only every other day, and only a few times, and then call her. Always be calling her in between texting (of course, only if she is responding ;) ), because it will make you stand out a little more than her average orbiters. But going back to my original point, you can text her and never call her and still get her to go out with you (I see it happen all the time. Source: college student, and I've personally done it twice), but I think it adds some edge to call her.

Don't text her about boring stuff. Text her something funny or witty. For example, I was texting this psychology major chick every few days. I sent her a text once where I said, "Hey, I want to start a Pink Floyd cover band called Pink Freud. Are you down?" She cracked up (I ended up going out with her a week later and I got a make out). So text them stuff that will make them laugh and remember you.

She's going to formal with me though, so she has to have at least some attraction for me

plus, it's hard for me to end it. I'll say lol or something and I'll get back a paragraph or so what are you doing:)
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
