"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 thought I was on the right track. I really did. I've been trying to improve myself for the past year that I've been involved with this site. Various events lately show that while I may be better off than when I started, I still have not gotten rid of my true problem.

I realize now that this whole time I was trying to break through the thick shell of my own timidness. Inside the shell, there is a confident, smart, witty man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to pursue it.

I can feel this shell around me. It has been called the comfort zone. I need to get rid of it to be who I really am.

I challenge myself to destroy this shell by doing something outside my comfort zone every day from now on. If you feel like I do, I invite you to do the same and post about it here.


Tomorrow: I'm a lifeguard. During our break, all us lifeguards jump off the diving board. Many of the other lifeguards are real daredevils and do flips and ****. Ive always been too much of a ***** to try it. Tomorrow I'll do a few flips off the diving board. It may be small, but it is definitely outside my comfort zone.
 

"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.

ok, well i did a few flips today... it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, but it hurt like hell when I landed straight on my back. I gotta work on that.

I dont have any ideas yet for tomorrow.

looking down the road though, I just read that post about an open mic performance and I'd have to say that sounds like a good idea. I'm good at guitar and this is definetly outside my comfort zone.
