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.

I went on a date to dave and busters and had a great time with this chick. It came to the end of the night (our first date) and she was in my car, and she knew i had to call it a night. she just sat there for like 20 mins and talked and fiddled with her keys.

I kinda wanted to play hard to get, so im waiting until the second date to initiate something. You think this was the right move? or should i have have done it on the first.I know the key sign was the perfect tell tale sign that she wanted it.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

for the most part guys dont play hard to get. You set up a date with her, acting like you may not be interested just confuses them.

Right now shes second guessing herself about you. He either doesnt like me, is gay, or not man enough to make a move.

but no biggie. If she had a good time on the date she will defenently look for one or two more dates, to see what comes from it. You can make your move then. I just usually dont wait till the second date if im seeing good signals.

You should have teased her. Even if she's interested, you can only play hard to get if she's thinking about you as a puzzle, that way she'll want to figure you out. Kiss her and pull her away, there are numerous things that you could've done. Try it out next time.

She played with her keys for 20 mins? You should of kissed her, idiot!

Hopefully she likes you enough to where it wont matter. But that was a clear sign of.. OK, KISS ME ALREADY! No need to play games. You got the date didn't you? She's interested.. now move in for the kill buddy.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
