"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.

Fellow men,

I want to keep spinning this new girl. Without boring you with her details, she is a solid 7 with a fine body (I typically keep a load of 5-6's around which I'm getting sort of annoyed with and would love to bump up my averages). I'd like to keep the 7 as one of my plates. The problem is she is starting to turn up the heat on me committing to her (and because she currently is my hottest prospect I fear I'll start doing lame things like giving into her, etc).

She took to second date which was set up by texting "Do you want to come cuddle with me?" then followed up with "I don't typically do this" [I'm sure she never said that before and I must be the one right? lol] Anyways, what do you guys typically do when a girl starts saying, "What is this anyways?" "Where are going with all this?" "I am looking for a long term thing" etc. Keep in mind for me she is the hottest piece I am looking at right now! And I KNOW this is where my anxiety is/will build on losing her. Don't get me wrong, I'll shut her down with no problem, but man, that @ss is something I'd like to keep looking at ....hopefully you guys see the dilemma......

Any advice would be most appreciated.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I recall having an 'after-cigarette' with a gal ... and she asked "what is this between us" and I responded "an ashtray." And then I quickly changed the subject. True story. She was between a 6 and a 7 and I really wasn't invested in her at all.

When you start getting into higher hanging fruit, this can be a bit more tricky. Because you can develop some investment toward her, the tables can turn against you.

I'm not really an advocate of psychological games, but since you asked here's my suggestion:
When she least expects it, do something out of the blue nice for her. Do not do this if she thinks she's starting to gain any power. You do this only on the moment that you hold the power. And when she least expects it, you shift gears and demonstrate your independence. My advice isn't anything new. It's commonly known as "push/pull."

By doing this, you've created an interest and also the illusion of "wanting what you can't have." There's a reason that soap operas appeal to women. It's because they enjoy the 'roller coaster' feeling of their emotions. The moment she becomes more smug, the more pressure and ultimatums you will experience.

Providing her a feeling of uneasiness will likely reduce your troubles, but you have to calibrate properly. Going too extreme either way will backfire. Be moderate.

Be honest and direct with her.

Her: What are we? I'm looking for something serious.

You: I'm not.



don't say another word. let the silence remain until she says something else.

Ain't nothin wrong with being direct with the ladies.

OP, I'm going to bump a thread by Desdinova, titled She Walked Out. Check it out.

Don't commit unless that is something you truly want and understand. With that, keep your answers vague or like the CDC and Fauci, you don't understand the question (I'm-old-and-forgot-where-you-live type of deal) being asked aka play dumb.

The key is to keep her chasing you if she wants you to commit. You, of course, won't commit but will give her enough attention to keep her addicted to your presence. Do not let her get comfortable or thinking she has you in the bag. Make sure she realizes you can and will walk away at your will, not hers.

Last but not least, enjoy while it lasts. It will not last forever, but you already know this.

I wouldn’t know, lately I usually get dumped or ghosted before it gets to the “what are we” stage.

Hi Bedswerver,Never say No on a question like this....No it is far better to equivocate..."Yes I feel the same way too but (Here Insert a reason)...I want to finish a degree.I am saving out for a house,flat that matches my aspirations for a new Bride...Think of something,but a flat refusal is an ultimatum!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

If a chick asks where things are going or what is this, Ask her why she got her running shoes on --then tell shorty she movin too fast and to just vibe, enjoy the moment.

you could also reverse psychology ... tell her you aint good for her, tht ull end up hurting her feeligns and all that-- but at the end of the day that sht only works if u have somethin u can control her with/have her hooked onto so she keeps coming back-- for me its sex, my #1 area of confidence and i use it wisely

the reverse psychology sht is funny because no woman wants to be told that she cant have u, itll only make her want u more. women do this same sht a lot. "i dont want to be in a relationship, i just want to be friends" but then they'll try to treat u like you're their man, suck ur **** all the time, please u in variety of ways, buy you gifts.. they play the game jus like we do... want their cake and eat it too

How about this

"I'm looking for something serious with the right woman"

It covers all bases and it isn't a lie at all.

Ha same. The one girl who wanted something long term I just kept making excuse after excuse until she gave up and found a relationship with some other guy.
 

"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.

Don’t feel bad. It won’t last more than a couple months at most. I’m noticing that the women they have been dumping me are still single. So that tells me they ain’t happy and they sure didn’t upgrade to anyone better than me.

what do you guys typically do when a girl starts saying, "What is this anyways?" "Where are going with all this?" "I am looking for a long term thing" etc.
Come on bro, you are 40+ years old asking this question?

I had a woman ask me that question a quite a while ago, I (tried) to rip her to shreds.

I think the take away is perspective. Different guys would handle it differently is the assumption from me. I’m sure you’re elite and get anything you desire that’s why you logged into the so suave forum. What I suggest to you is offer something constructive. I’m not sure crafting an incoherent sentence saying rip her to shreds is giving any advice.

It’s not about being elite or getting anything you desire. It’s about if a woman can make a man’s head spin at 40, real life would chew him up and spit him out.
 

"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.
