"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.

The top 5 regrets of the dying

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

That is all golden information. Thanks for the post. It is basically how I try to live my life.

Go for your dreams.
Make time for enjoyment, work only to live, not for what you think you 'want'.
Be straight up, call a spade a spade.
Maintain relationships with good friends, let those who aren't fall by the wayside.
The only thing you can control is your own outlook.

Me too. I could never be a salaried workaholic. I can be an entrepreneurial workaholic, but only because it's fun.

What that advice says about keeping your relationships with friends, the same goes for family. When they die, all you will be left with is the memories of the time you spent together.
 

"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.

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
That's the only one I can identify with.

In our society, we're taught to be selfless. Weird thing is you can't give to anyone, if you don't have yourself covered first. :rock:

I imagine that there are very few people who lie on their deathbed thinking:

"Damn! I sure wish I could have had the chance to spend at least just one more day at the office!"

From my point of view, life is ALL about RELATIONSHIPS, troops. A few off the top of my head are:
  • Your relationship with your hopes, dreams, and ambitions.
  • Your relationship with your friends, family, and females.
  • Your relationship with your God (for those who believe).
  • And your relationship with YOURSELF.
