"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.

So I've been trying this out for years and I've discovered it's a pretty solid tactic.

When I'm talking to chick and get lost on a thread or maybe the conversation was actually interesting sometimes I space her name.

While I realize the inherent fail of this, I just go for the gold.

Me: "So you're name is Frank, right?" I use Ted and Leo regularly also.

The reaction is always humorous

If they're really interested they'll tell you again. If they got a sense of humor they'll respond by addressing you with a girl's name.

Even if it's a complete fail and they disengage you can always orbit back during the night and address her by assigned name and convo starts again with a humorous twist.

It also can make for a great push/pull tactic if you do remember her name and your just messing with her.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I usually ask her how to spell her name, bring it up somehow in conversation with humor, but i think i might use that one too. Could def work well for me.

That's a good tip, here's what I do. It's a little more direct and is a great conversation starter.

When I forget a name (or sometimes at the beginning), I say:

'I'm really bad with names. It takes me forever to memorize someone's name unless I can associate something special with it. What's special about you? Make it rhyme.'

If she says she has a cat, I'll call her 'Crissy the cat lady'. It's a 'pet name', you'll actually REMEMBER her name, and it's a subtle neg all in one ... no one wants to be a cat lady. See what I did there?

It doesn't have to be a neg, or even rhyme really, but something quirky. Even sexual. A girl I recently laid told me she squirted within minutes of meeting me (I don't remember how we got on that topic). So I called her 'Sarah (not her real name) the squirter'.

It's a great memorization technique, it makes your interaction unique, and you'll score some points by remembering.

I like this^^^^. I've done what Crissco was saying, ask them how to spell it, even if it's a name like "Jill" after she says J-I-L-L and gives you a puzzled look, you can just BS her and say you've seen it spelled with one L and just wanted to make sure.

If I'm getting a number it's easy. I just say "how do you spell your name?" I've never seen a girl not happy to spell it out. If she was, I probably wouldn't call her anyway.
 

"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.

Or you could just hand your phone to her and tell her to put it in. Also known as 'compliance testing', and you won't mess anything up.

As unexciting as it is, I just look at her dead in her eye and I'll say, "Listen I completely forgot your name. Give it to me one more time." Be bold. Don't be OVERLY apologetic. Women respond to strength and boldness

Women respect that sh*t. Real talk.

In the meantime, there are ways you can get better at remembering her name. Every chick I used to have on my roster also got a powerpoint slide.

(Excerpt from my book/graphic: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/942664_4946208852829_1914135133_n.jpg )

I also "code" chicks names in my phone. For example, if I meet a cute chick at the club named Ashley who has a nice rack and a big butt, I'll put her name in my phone like: "Ashley ClubRackBB"
