"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.

Thinking about joining the Peace Corps at 24?

I've hit a bit of a slump in my life and I feel like I'm just doing the daily grind. My girlfriend doesn't really mean a whole lot to me and I'm tired of just being confined to my small little corner of the world in the midwest. I'm a writer and have been filled with wanderlust for the past few years now and have been neglecting it, which may be fueling my depression, but I feel like I need to be out in foreign places and experience a different side of the world.

My question is - I'm 24 and if I apply I won't be getting out until I'm at least 26, is it worth it to spend the time in the Peace Corps even though I'll be missing out on some of the best years of my life (my 20's?). I want to make a difference and help improve the lives of people so this seems right up my alley, but the whole 27 months thing does seem rather intimidating. Are there better programs than the Peace Corps? Would any of you suggest doing this? Have any of you done it and have had a positive/negative experience?

I figure I'm only young once and I want to get out and see the world.
 

"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.

I think the Peace Corps would be an awesome experience, personally. Heck, even at 41, I would still consider it.

OP, you are only 24, you have the best years of your life ahead of you. 27 months of life changing experiences, doing something good for others in need, what's not to like?

Another organization you could look at is the Maryknoll missionary, if you are Catholic particularly and want to volunteer and score a few points with the big man upstairs.

What I like about the Peace Corps, is they take care of everything. They give you enough money to live on while on your assignment. At the end of your 2 year hitch, they give you something like $10K, so you can go out and get started building your life from there.

Peace Corp also looks great on a resume. No matter what job you apply for, it looks great.
