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.

Everyone else talks to her, I'm staying mysterious...

Thanks for the advice, guys.

I most likely won't be working there for long anyway. So I've already kinda figured out what I'm going to tell her. If it works out then good for me, if not, then at least I tried and Next.

I decided I'm just going to be straight up with her. I pretty much broke common ground with her, asking her the basic questions and things where we are comfortable of talking to each other. So I'm just going to say it straight out "Look, I'm probably not going to be working here much longer so lets go out sometime, grab some lunch, get to know each other sometime." See what she says. If she rejects me, fine. If she's game, then I'll ask for her number "Let me get your number in case I need to give you a call."
 

"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.

Well I think that instead of saying "Let's get lunch together sometime" you should try to make more definite plans. When is sometime? Today? Tomorrow? Next week?

And I probably wouldn't say "Let me get your number in case I need to give you a call". Don't get me wrong, she'll give it to you, but I would ask for it at the end of your lunch / drinks. Say something along the lines of "I had a really great time with you. Let me give you a call when I have some free time. What's your number?"

I think that would set up a better dynamic than "Let me get your number in case I need to give you a call." That makes it sound like she's going to pick you up from detox or something. LOL
