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.

hot new chick at work. today was my 2nd day working w/ her. all the guys have been showering her w/ attention: initiating conversation, making lame comments, obviously checking her out, etc. me on the other hand, i was acting more like i didn't care: pretty much doing the opp. of all the other guys at work: hardly chatted w/ her, didn't pay much attention, never checked her out blatantly. i figure this would be the best move in the long run... work it slowly w/ patience.

i want to know how your experiences were like w/ hot new chicks at work. did you have success by hitting on her from the start? or failure? i feel that acting indifferent would be best, but i realize that going this route could also kill chances as well. timing is important i guess... what are your thoughts?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The best thing to do would be what everyone else ISN'T doing. Or in other words, don't just blatently hit on her and everything else like your co-workers. You thought of indifference, and I think that can work, but only to a certain level. I mean, if you ever wanna get anywhere with her, you'll HAVE to talk to her, right?

So, when you're talking to her, don't just comment on her hottness or obviously check her out all day long, like the rest of your workplace. Don't let her phase you. Basically, like you would treat any girl if you're a DJ. Just bust on her for being new and making mistakes, and then help her without supplicating to her. That's a good start.

But yea, as always, work and dating usually don't mix well at all. Be cautious.
