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.

morning guys,

I need your help!

Ive been seeing a girl now for the last two months, things started fantastic, she however just as I met her took a job abroad, so in the last few weeks she's been acting really distant, left me wondered what the F I've done, anyway she tells me after I pick her up pissed the other night that she is afraid of getting to close!

Question is what do I do now? She leaves in two days and looks like I've gone on to far!

Advice!!!!!

"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.

Leaves in two days for how long?

If its anything other than a few weeks on holiday she has to go. Long distance is not a relationship. You'll be sitting there with your dlck in your hand and just an invisible friend to show for it.

Sorry not what you want to hear, but next.

Hey alpha!

No need to apologise I'm pretty sure I was going to get that answer!

She doesn't know how long she's going for, it's with work so it could be a week if she doesn't like it but it could be 6+ months!

How shall I act now!? She wants to stay together when she goes but is acting like we're now mates rather then anything else!

I told you how you should act. She has to go mate. The game ends here.

You can give her what she wants, and then you'll be committed to not having sex with anyone else while she's gone. Your needs won't be met, and when she meets another guy overseas (which she will) it'll crush you. If you leave now, you leave with all the frame. Cut her loose.

Not easy of course, I know. I had a date tonight with a charming girl from New Zealand. I basically had to bang on the first date because she's leaving the country and going home in a few days. Didn't happen. I would love to see her again but I'm not holding my breath for a girl 10,000 miles away.

Again I think your right, don't get me wrong it's been going through my head for the last week

I guess my only question is when and how, I've never really been a relationship guy, she wants me to come to he airport with her and her mum

Such bad timing hey, she's the first women who's actually made m want a relationship lol
 

"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.

Yup..ldr suck. They are just a face or voice to wank to. If she is interested when she gets back, great. Just tell her you will miss her and it would be great to see her if and when she gets back. Tell her to go and have fun... and mean it. The covert message is you are relaxed about her going away ( confidence) and that you are not going to be sitting home alone until she gets back.

Thank you for the advice guys, I've just done it, told her that I don't see much point in continuing this anymore, told her to enjoy her time away and I'll do the same back home!

Took me ages to press the send button What's this girl done to me lol!!!!
 

"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.

No right or wrong answer to this. I'm sure you had already made your decision you went or you didn't. Either doesn't matter. Just do not allow yourself to get sucked into a LDR... those NEVER work out. These things happen, life takes people in different directions, she didn't dump you, you didn't dump her... life happened.

Go date other women and try to put this behind you. You are not going to want to do this, but you HAVE TO. Do not waste any time start calling and making dates with women you know. If you do not know any women, get out there and met some. The longer you wait the harder it will be to move on.

Listen to the fine gents giving you advice. Agree with her about not getting too close, and send her packing. She doesn't want to be held accountable for banging dudes abroad, basically, while you're here drawing pink hearts with her name inside them on your calendar. Fvck that! LDR's are a waste of time. Tell her it's been fun and get some control back into your life.
 

"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.

Nothing above that.

If she wants to date you she'd tell you sober and be direct. Anything else is just bs. You dont want a girl that is back. And forth on things. Ignore it and keep doing what you're doing. She'll contact you again but ignore it. I've had one in my life like this for 10+ years now. She lives on the otherside of the country. Every time she comes back home she calls me (always drunk). We meet up have fun she tells me she loves me and for me to give her a reason to move back home. When I call her to make plans to see each other date wise she has every excuse in the book. Now I justt ignore her when she calls but she still trys. This girl will toy with you as long as you let her. Be done. You don't need this.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
