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.

A friend of mine keeps bugging me on what say and stuff, I told him and he just shrugged what I said off, now he comes to me with a convo he had over Aim with a girl he has known since last monday and maybe talked to her about 4-5 hours total over the internet

He says hed rather meet in her person and talk rather than online, and that she is really busy, and cant. She has work and ****.

Anyway, I told him the foloowing convo means that she has some interest int he guy and would just rather meet him aswell, I told him to calm down and to just wait til they meet, rather than getting into all this online.

Here is the convo, Tell me what you think... B4 this they would talk about the regular lieks and dislikes. So nothing was really said b4 this.
BTW, she sent him the first AIM.


Her (10:09:23 AM): hey whats up?

He thinks she is just blowing him off nicely but I told him that eh is being stupid. Mainly because She has him on her top 8 myspace friends after 2 days of knowing him and she has mentioned him in her profile already and ****.

I just want some backup so he believes what I am saying is true...
That the girl would also rather meet him in person than to just chat online.

So just post your opinions and I will show him.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

give us the rest of convo. every bit is important!

but from what i can see, he is too.. what should I call him, feellingfull? if thats a word. He tries to much to get it on with her. And in the end he will fail. The reason is simple. If you try to hard, she will notice. If you don't, she will notice too. But remember that chicks as the rest of us allways seeks approval and she will be more into him if he just let it flow and jumps over all that shait about, "what are your intensions", "I don't wanna get burned again" etc etc. He needs to give him self a bit more of respect.

As I read thru the chat, it seems like he is selling him self way too cheap.

Aight sure

I added it.

EDIT* Your Post seems very logical aswell. That is why I told him the mistake he made will most likely not kill his chances but he will have to work harder in order to obtain her. Without being too "feelingfull" lol.

Well he was interviewing her instead of being fun with her.

And he put all his cards on the table so that effectively kills to romantic video game women play in the heads.

And he decided to talk about past relationships and how bad they went.

And... she won't be swooning anytime soon.

Ok, so I should tell him to next her, IMO he should not, because it is not neccasarrily over with.

He likes to be straightforawrd to sometimes a scary degree, so he doesnt want to **** around with someone who is not on the same path as he is.

If they are on the same path he can be very romatic and charming, at least that is what I am told by some of his girlfriends lol.

He is also a pretty religious person, he is not looking to get alid or to get quickies, that realyl why he said what he did in the convo, he likes not to get ****ed with.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Don't tell him to next her. That's called burning bridges! She ain't done anything wrong. And she is kinda intrested. But HE needs to change his view and act diffrently.
If he dosen't, he'll get burned.
If he does, bingo!

Ok, so you are saying that, that "moment" lol, he had was a ****-up that could be fixed by simply not doing anything like that again, and just being his usual romantic spontaneous self?

He told me that his test with a women is if they can "handle" his "sincere moment". If they can he will be one of the most amazing people the girls ever met... Lol He is somewhat arrogant, but I guess if he can get what he wants than good for him, but he wants this girl and he thinks he ****ed up, so he came to me with his tail in between his legs lol.

Listen. I don't know who this friend is but I bet he ain't got that much expirience. What he is looking for is what all nice-guys say. "i want a soulmate". "I want somebody who understands me". "I want somebody who I can connect with".

He simply is a nice guy, and his niceesness won't get him this chick. The reason he can "fix" the situation is becouse they never met. She is still seeing him just as an AIM-dude. They are not friends-friends buy they are not flirting-flirting either. They are in no mans land.

So what I would tell you friend is, "Change the attitude or lose the girl". He needs to make him self the prize not her.

And I have no clue where do you get from that he is arrogant cuz, he, and I am not trying to offent him now, is acting like a little hurt kid.

Her (10:23:06 AM): haha hey what kind of music do you listen to
Her (10:23:08 AM): lol
Him (10:23:28 AM): I have been hurt b4 by girls who dont have the same intentions as me and I just want to protect myself
Her (10:23:38 AM): ok?


LMAO!!!.....WOW, what a response...and her reaction....LMAO!!!
 

"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.
