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.

Does my professor like me or is it all in my head?

Hey guys =)

I'm a 3rd year college student (female) and would like some opinions on a professor (about 40 years old) since many of you may understand his body language/behavior better than me.

Throughout the semester, I noticed that he came near me a lot during lectures and would almost always come to look at my paper (sometimes more than once). I'm not a star student or anything nor am I one of those students who need "special" attention. There was also one point where he stared straight at me for more than three seconds and when he sometimes talked to other students he would look at me. During exams, I think I've felt his stares while concentrating on my test. So I would look up to make sure I'm not being paranoid and notice him quickly look the other way or to the side. All this lead me to believe that he liked me so I developed a crush on him.

But when I visited him during his office hours he seemed uninterested in making conversation with me. For instance, I would ask him questions (not personal or weird questions, but questions about his country and stuff), yet he would rarely ask questions about myself. And sometimes he would hold eye contact and other times not.

Do you guys think he may have a slight interest in me or am I just overanalyzing?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You need to get a real man in your life, he is showing ZERO interest.

Hahaha on the "stare thing" during tests. I am in Graduate school....I guess ALL my female teachers liked me since they all do the same thing during lectures, etc! *faceplam*

I know it's normal for professors to watch students during tests. My point is I would feel him looking in my direction longer than he should.

Oh totally, don't deceive yourself, if only you really had a "guy" talk before. I've talked to plenty of 40 year olds and quite honestly, they're just as horny as a 20 year old.

My older uncle of about 60 years old dates a 20 year girl, because his socioeconomic status allows him to. Hugh Hefner dates girls a quarter of his age.

What he's doing is fighting his social conditioning, but I can guarantee you that if he had the chance to do the hanky panky with you no strings, that he totally would.

We're here for two reasons as a species, survival and replication.

Anyway, play your cards right and I'm sure you could score your professor.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
