"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 Friday was my last day of work at my job, and as I was packing up my things, the girl I'm kind of interested in comes over and gives me her phone/email, says to keep in touch. We've exchanged a couple emails and decided to meet this weekend for coffee, which is cool.

Do you guys have any suggestions on late-afternoon stuff to do afterwards? I want to have a vague idea of stuff to do if we decided to hang out for more than a cup of coffee.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
 

"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.

I think this girl has a little more class than that. Not sure she's a huge drinker, but definitely not the type to take to a bar at 4pm.

I told her we should meet at 4pm. I figure if things go well we can do dinner somewhere. I think this one is convinced that I'm a classy guy, cause I was usually pretty professional at work. What a sucker!

Hopefully she's a drinker, otherwise it will be an interesting day.

Getting something to eat is always good. Keep it casual and not too expensive.

If things are going very well, no matter how "classy" she is, there is a good chance she will be open, even suggest, going to a bar for some drinks. She just needs to relieve some anxiety.

If you have access to a beach, you can go there in the evening.

I live spitting distance from Lake Michigan, but we just had record cold temperatures and there's a half a foot of snow outside. This isn't California!

I hope you're right. I guess we'll see what happens. I always flirted with her at work (she's HOT!), but I didn't work there very long, so don't know her very well. I remember one day she gave me a double take when she saw me decked out in a nice suit (I used to work for a high class suit manufacturer, so have some nice custom made garments, and I was going straight to a wedding that day), which was amusing. But I digress.
 

"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.

Not sure if this is good or bad, she said she had a thing at 5, so didn't want to meet for such a short period of time; she lives on the other side of town. Work is closer to my place so she said we'll hang out after work sometime next week.
