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.

Hi guys,

Been dating this girls for about five weeks now. I have a date with her tomorrow night. We just set this up today but something came up and I probably wont be able to make it anymore. 2 questions. Will this have a negative impact on the situation. What is the best way to tell her I cant make it. Thanks in advance for the advice.
 

"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.

What came up? A hotter chick?

The best way to tell her you can't make it is to have another date for another day ALREADY PLANNED when you call to cancel. "Can't do tomorrow, but I'd really like to see you ____ and we can ____ and then go home for some @!$$#%$#%"

If you call her TODAY and say that, it'll be no big deal.

Am I missing something here? Just tell her you can't make it and would like to reschedule.

Digression:

Some guys here have suggested intentially making a date and cancelling it!

They point out that when you're interested in a chick, and she blows you off like that, it really jacks up your desire to see her. So the logic goes, doing the same thing to a woman should work. It's making yourself a challenge.

Any opinions on THAT little theory?
 

"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.

I could see how canceling on her might jack up her Interest level. Although it could hurt it too.

You beat me to it. My cousin has been dating this HB9 for the past 6 months. He cancelled on this broad twice before they went out for the first time. I'm not saying that's the reason why they got together, but it didn't seem to hurt him any.

DAM!! I never imagined doing that on the 1st date! I mean, how do you start seducing her if you don't even see each other?

If you cancel on a 1st date, before you really know her, an HB9 simply has too many other options. She'll forget about you. Young HB9's have way more options than any male PUA/DJ in the world. ...seems like common sense to me.

That's why I wouldn't cancel a date unless I absolutely had to.

I remember some guys on here canceling dates because they went to the gym RIGHT beforehand and worked out so hard, they didn't feel like going out anymore!

You're supposed to have a life of your own, but I gotta shake my head at that. HB 8-9's have way too many guys trying to ask them out. If you can't even keep a date, they'll find someone who can.

(Bay Area Pimp: you're fine. Just tell her what's up and ask her on another date.)
