"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.

What are you single guys doing on Vday?

I think it was Rollo T who mentioned in another post that Vday is a good opportunity to pick up women.

So what are all of you single fellas doing tomorrow night? Do you accept invites to do things with single females you know? Go out with the boys? Hide from everyone?

Me, I'm playing it by ear. No plans unless something interesting comes up.
 

"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.

Haha, not the healthiest way to trim down but the combination of stress, working LOOOOONG hours, and not having time to eat as much as I like has helped me lose mine.

Who needs the gym when you have to run a business? lol
 

"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.

I can almost garantee, all the people that are going to be out to bars and restorants today are going to be Attached.
Why do you have to feel like a loser on this day?
I dont get it?
It just another commercial media hyped BS thing anyway.

Most guys think they need to buy romance on this day, be thankful you have saved alot of cash and you dont feel you have to keep peace with your women on this commercial Joke of a day.

Me i am going to chill, watch some films and relax.

Got a message from a women i have been seeing saying why dont we call it a day, since i have done jack for her, i dont care about her in anyway shape or form, but what made it worse in my eyes she expected something today, expected, so like a chump i have to comply since it is expected, sod that, i dont need this day to be romantic and i sure as hell dont need a women putting pressure on me to comply to her need to feel normal on this day.

To me what is normal is not worrying about the day at all.

Shame people cant see the truth of this, if i wanted to be romantic it will be when i want to be not when i am expected to be, a good women in my eyes will not put pressure on this day as i hope i can prove i dont have to comply! Got another email from a girl i am intouch with who feels the same way, she says its just a joke of a day now and means nothing. She is correct, she said her last BF and her made a deal to not do val, day instead they made a pact to have a sex list instead. Seems far better to me, then having some princess expect to be treated royally.

That is complete bull****. I am happily single today. Today is the best and easiest day to find a girl looking for a one night stand. That may not be your cup of tea but it is mine.

What am I doing tonight?
Banging a girl I haven't met yet.
It is my self-fulfilling prophecy.

Cut your negative attitude and your life will be much better.

What worked for me was getting the stomach flu! You lose an instant 5-10 pounds after all is said and done.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Probably relax to some absinthe in a bar—thank you for incidentally reminding me, STR8UP—and take a view of the downtown wildlife. What a wonderful evening to be single.

Maybe you guys can all send cute little Valentines Day cards to each other :)

Rollo is right.... I just got back from the bank. With the exception of a nice smile and hello, the first thing the 20-something HB8'ish teller said was "So what are you doing for V-Day". I grinned, looked her right in the eyes and asked "You first, what are you doing for V-Day." She mumbles something hoping she might get surprised by being asked out but doesn't think the odds are very good. Then she asks again "So what are you doing?". I shoot one more smile followed by "The fiancee and I are going to dinner."

And one other example. Where I work there are some attractive women to be sure. I overheard two of them chatting, one commented about getting the same old thing, cheap flowers. And the other remarked that the first was lucky since she won't be getting any. And the later one (single, intelligent, witty, fun) is a HB9+ easy.

In both cases you could just hear their pseudo-desperation (almost bordering on guilt) for not having plans on V-Day. The irony is hilarious. This is their day. Its all about them. Yet when they don't have plans their shields completely drop. I'd recommend sarging tonite, find a place with singles and meet up with you wing. It's pretty easy to tell which ones aren't taken - it's like their "I'M Single" transponder is programmed to automatically go off on V-Day.

So if you're trying to pick up girls, and they ask "what are you doing on valentine's day?" What would be the best way to respond?

...have something easy/fun planned and simply invite them to meet you and join along (you're the prize, confident, you've got plans so you're interesting, you take initiative and there's no hints of heavy relationshipy/date crap to trigger her warning bells). Best of luck to you man!

Wow, you can guarantee that the only people at bars will be attached?

Actually, the people at bars will probably be the LEAST attached.
Think about it.

If you are taking some girl out on V-day it's supposed to be 'romantic' and 'special' so why would you go to a bar or dance club that you could frequent any other Friday or Saturday night of the year?

The people that will be at bars and dance clubs will be the women who grab all their single friends and drown themselves in 'cosmos.'

They won't be staying at home crying in their beds. They will be with their girlfriends drinking it away.

That's where any of us step in.

Most likely not many will be attached. And the girls that are there will what SOMEONE to be their 'valentine.' Women have low self-esteem about this stuff. They want validation they are 'attractive' etc. This is where you come along...............

I hope you aren't a betting man.
 

"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.

Have one for me! Looks like I'm in for the night.
 

"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.
