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.

Is it ever a good idea to ask for a second chance after spmeone leaves you?
 

"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.

I feel that you need to be a little more vague than you already are in order for any of us to be able to give you any detailed responses.

You know... because sarcasm.

If you want honest and open answers, could you please be a little more detailed about your situation?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I really don't think it is generally a good idea. I've done it myself, but it didn't work out in the end.

By ASKING for a second chance, you are giving her the power to say yes or no. You are immediately placing her on a pedestal, and that is never going to be to your advantage.

You will get the same advise over and over again. Go meet other women, start out fresh. This might sound like a broken record, but it is the right solution.

If you are like me, you really only learn from experience, so give it a try and report back. I think we can guess where it will go if you beg for a second chance with a woman who has already rejected you.

Yeah just find a new chick and let the old one come to you. If you're her friend do not have any expectations of her wanting you or you wanting to be with her again. I have befriended a dumper who broke my heart which is a first for me. We are abrasive towards each other though yet we keep each other around lol... we both have no idea why either. She has to come to me or make a move on me if she wants a chance and that will be my call if it does happen. I am emotionally bonding with her but I have no hopes for her seeing me as the man she will fall for.

Dear Med Dude,
No,I've never seen any value in it...after a few Days,in talking to friends and Family, she will have exaggerated any faults you may have,similarly related the tough line she took,any back sliding on her part will involve a tremendous loss of face...Magnanimity,unless in their better interest, is not a characteristic Women are known for!

58. NEVER go back to an ex!!! Every guy does it at least once but it has never panned out for me and I was always MORE sorry than I would have been if I just took the post break up pain like a man.
^Do it at your own peril. She DUMPED you. If you ask her for a second chance you are basically tucking your d!ck between your legs and even if she DID take you back, any and all frame you had in the relationship is lost. She will own you, and you will care a lot more than she does. Recipe for pain.

Another, no it's a bad idea. Imagine a male animal turning belly up to submit to a female animal during mating season. Does he get to mate or is it the one's who are willing to fight to the death?

You're a king my man. Don't surrender your crown to 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.

Well I was just told by my friend she was planning on kissing me a couple days ago... LOL we hold nothing back but she didn't go for the kill. She and I never had sex but have only kissed. I dunno if this will go anywhere but we will see. She seems to be not open to it but I keep telling her she can do oh so much better. I mean we are in similar life situations... You just never know about second chances....
