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.

Did I do the right thing? And what to say next?

Situation:

1. About a month ago I was at the fireworks with this chick, wasnt sure if she was into me, but didnt see her again till this past saturday when we were both drunk and hooked up (even when she sobered up im almost positive she was still def into me).

2. On that same saturday, before I hung out with that chick, I fvcked my ex-gf (also my f buddy), without knowing I was even going to be seeing the fireworks chick later.

3. Today at school, two of that chick's friends came to me and say "Did you hang out with Lauren this weekend?" I said, "Idk why", and they said, "Oh cuz we heard from someone that you did. (keep in mind they dont know I fvcked her, just that we hung out.

4. They found out from a close friend who checked my ex-gf's text messages and saw me in them.

The decision I made: I decided to be up front and honest with the fireworks chick. I figured she would find out eventually that I hung out with my ex gf that one saturday, and I figured that if she found out from someone else, she may get the wrong impression or just be mad that I never said anything and lied to her (cuz I told her and all her friends that my ex and I didnt hang out much and only talked every now and then).

Her response: She was pretty cool about it and said that she didnt really care that I hung out with my ex. She seemed to be okay with it, but I just wanted to show her that I was honest and sh*t. When I mentioned to her that I wanted to hang out with her again this weekend, and be sober so that I could get to know her better, she said she wanted to. The only definite bad part about the whole thing was that when I said goodbye (we were in the car), I gave her like a peck kiss on half of her lips. It was mad awkward, and I dont think she had intentions of kissing me.

Heres the big question:

What the fvck do I say to my ex gf now? Shes annoyed cuz shes getting the impression that im never gonna hang out with her again all cuz of someone reading her texts (and i think she may have an idea that I like this fireworks chick). The big problem is that I dont want to piss her off, cuz then she may say more sh*t in her anger and tell her friends that we didnt just "hang out" but that we "fvcked". If this fireworks chick found out that i fvcked my ex gf, I think my chances with her would be done.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Umm... girls usually love drama,especially from exes,lol.

For what I can see, only your ex will be the enemy in the eyes of the fireworks chick

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

you are doin fine. stop worrying, and start (keep) bangin them both. these things have a way of working themselves out.

confusious say: "never worry about getting the hook out of the fishes mouth, UNTIL fish is in the boat".

translated: dont overthink situations that are 3 steps ahead of you

Well for one, theres no way im gonna be able to continue banging my ex and trying to get with this fireworks chick at the same time. There are a few girls that are good friends with the friends of my ex and the friends of the fireworks girls, so sh*t would definitely get back to her. Not only that, but we all go to the same school and have classes together.

I just gotta wait it out now for this fireworks chick to text me eventually, and hopefully I didnt fvck things up with her.
