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'm goin on a 2nd date with a girl tom night to see the tree in ny. Should i suggest dinner too? Or just da tree and hot chocalate that sort of sh*t. What do u think?
I mean obviously if its early we both gotta eat eventually so then its a no brainer. But if i tell her ill pick her up at 8:30, should i take her for dinner? I dunno if your a girl and u get outta work at 8, would u rather grab a bite at home quick before the dude comes, or would u rather eat with him? If she hasnt eaten then again obviosuly i know we gotta eat cuz were humans and humans gotta eat at some pt.

I dunno i always feel like i might be getitng too formal if we do dinner early on like on a 2nd or 3rd date. What i usually do is ask her to coffee or drinks on the first date, then on the 2nd suggest dinner. But since this is a thing like seein the tree (which she was so exicted about when i asked her) i dunno if dinner is even necessary. i dont mind spending the money, or any of that stuff, i just wanna know it its playign my cards wrong here.

What do u guys think?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Depends on how well you two "connected" on the last date. If you both had a good time, and she is looking forward to go on a second date, then don't be afraid to take her out to dinner. It is never too early for a "dinner date", if the girl is interested, she'll go, you just have to lead the way.

If the girl want to be fed, she'll go no matter whether she's interested or not.

Agree. If first date was clear cut and good. Dinner is a nice idea.
