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 agree with you 100%, if you have hardcore oneitis, it's hard to find another girl that "measures up" to your oneitis just because you built her up so much in your head. If you take your mind off girls completely, you can get over her. I find that's what works. Do an activity that takes your attention. I'm rebuilding a Volkswagen drivetrain for an old beetle, and it has taken my mind completely off an old oneitis. I don't even talk to the oneitis anymore and I doubt I ever will again. I haven't spoken to her since last Wednesday, and that was just her contacting me because she was too busy to talk, but she wanted to see how I was doing....? So I doubt I will be hearing from her again, because I have stopped contacting her.
This is good advice. Go find something else to do for a while. You'll discover that life has a lot more than just women to focus on.

After that, you can go back, wiser and knowing that there are other things to do with your life, and no woman are that special.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
