Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Yes finally I had my first date, with a girl that I wasn't attracted to but went out with for practice...

I picked her up and we went for some ice cream...She told me though she was feeling tired and dizzy, so just sat with me...We talked for a while...I didn't apply kino cause like I said I'm not attracted to her. Anyway it ended quickly because she felt she was getting sick so i took her home...

I think now I'm gonna move on and try to meet other girls...I'm not attracted to her physically at all...But it was good practice and I realize that dating isn't such a huge deal...Even though I'm sure it is more significant when you are going out with someone you actually are attracted too

"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.

uh congrats I guess. I don't know if I'd call that a date though. It sounds more to me like just hangin out then a date since you weren't attracted to her.

Good point ramar but thats why you go out to get to know the girl and then develop feelings for her...

Sure I wasn't physically attracted to her but sometimes personality plays a big part...It was also hard since she was sort of sick...She was real tired and sort of out of it...

I definitely don't have any feelings for her after that....So I'll probably just move on and try to meet new girls

I've noticed that to, when you're going out with a girl that you're not really into, you act totally different, not nervous, not really caring about the outcome of the evening, in a way, I've noticed has a positive effect, she sees that you aren't desperate for her. Helps build confidence in you at the same time.

Yea I find that it is easier to hang out with girls who you aren't attracted too because theres no pressure and its easy to be relaxed and stuff...

As soon as I start thinking that the girl is really hot then i get all nervous and fidgety, thats the problem... I need to somehow start realzing that they are just normal girls like everyone else...


It's just hard for some reason
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's hard because you're attracted to them...

Anyway, what are you goin to do if this girl comes up and asks you out again or starts to like you and all? Some girls get obsessed over a guy after a date....when they think they have a chance. Then....after you turn her down...you'll be more of a challenge to her and she'll persist.

Or....she might move on just like you're goin to do. :p
