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 problem i have is that when I am in a one-on-one situation I'm terrible. In groups I'm really funny and have a great time and I don't have many problems. But when im with one person, male or female, it gets awkward and i get nervous and freeze up. Any tips or suggestions on how to get past this?
 

"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.

Yeah, it's often harder to find things to talk about one-on-one.

Try practicing by focusing on one person for a little bit when you're in a group.

It seems to me like what gets it awkward for you is that when you're in a group you're having fun and simply not caring about outcomes whereas when you are with women you do(i know, we all secretly do).

You can try to apply the state of mind you have in a group in a one-on-one situation, you are just out to have fun and have a good time it doesn't really matter if you're gonna make it with girl x or y be confident and work on yourself. Stop worrying too much.

weird i'm the opposite... in groups I let other people take over, one on one I find it easy to continue any type of conversation.
