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.

ok, ive been noticing this girl in my summer class for a couple of weeks now. i've noticed that she checks me out during class. its one of those things where you catch them looking at you and then they turn kinda thing. anyhow today i finally got a chance to talk to her after class. had great conversation and everything, and found out she has a boyfriend. so i say fvck it, dont want to waste my time messing with someone with a man. so we ended the convo and as i walk ago she asked for my number,so i gave it to her.

my question is should i even bother messing with this chick? or say fvck it and it doesnt hurt to try!
 

"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.

Did you find out she had a BF from her, or someone else? Either way, she asked for YOUR number, that being an IOI, my thought process for this one is always, her BF must be an AFC, so there is nothing to stop you. I'd go for it, however be cautious, because even though her BF maybe an AFC she may be 'too nice' to be disloyal. Women like to swing from 'one branch to the next' so get to know her a bit better, give her a call say 'we should go for coffee'.

Don't get oneitis though, because as I said she may remain loyal to her BF and has to make sure that if she does want to replace him, you are the right match.

Good luck fella

AFC - average frustrated chump, someone who follows women around like a puppy dog and caters to their every whim, ie someone a woman has no respect for.

IOI - indicators of interest, these are things women will do to demonstrate they are interested - play with hair (although common even if not interested), touch you, ask for your number...common sense really.

Oneitis - when you become so obsessed with one woman that you devote all your attention to her and she is suffocated and her interest depreciates. If you turn the situation around: would you like a girl that devoted all her attention to you and wouldnt leave you alone...i certainly wouldnt!

Hope that helps

I think playing with hair is far too ambiguous as an IOI. I notice girls doing this all the time around me - even ones that I don't like and clearly don't show any interest.
 

"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.

was she the one telling you about the boyfriend? if she calls you, meet her up and just be honest with her: ask what she wants if she´s already in a relationship. it doesn´t hav eto be harder than that. It´s stupid and time consuming to play games.

that he's bad!... gets into lots of trouble. that's it! didnt really asked her about him.
 

"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.

Roll with it...

Some of the most attractive women I have met and been with had boyfriends, at least in the beginning. And personally I think if you ruled out going after any woman who may be taken - regardless of knowing the quality of her relationship - you would be doing yourself a huge disservice.

If she asked you for your number and has been talking to you you're in, and I doubt she is satisfied in her relationship. You sound like a nice guy and remember your mindset is that she would be better off with you, so who cares about the guy, don't ask her about him.

A girl with a boyfriend isn't going to be quite as spontaneous as a single girl because she may need to give her boyfriend an excuse. Next time you talk to her mention something cool going on in your area a few days out, maybe something you and your friends (preferably including other girls) are going to. At the end of the conversation invite her to come tag along with you because it will be a good time.

She sounds like she's into you, keep it up and don't be afraid to let her see you hanging out with other girls either - she's the one with the bf.

good sh!t attractology, i feel what youre sayin. its not like am desperate, i have no problem meeting girls, the only thing is that i'm quite picky, i tend to meet single girls and mess around and feel something wrong with them as an excuse. but this girl she's really cool, only exception from the others is that she has a bf.
well, ill see her in class in couple days, ill see what i can do.

Women that have boyfriends and talk to guys are looking for branches to swing on. There really isn't anyway that you could lose with this chick. Make her a fb and have your fun. Don't pursue a relationship, just have fun with her. Once you do, she'll want to leave her man for you. Don't try to take her away from her man. Don't even talk about him. Don't guide her mind to him, but take her mind off of him by having fun with her and not giving a crap whether it goes anywhere.
 

"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.

If she gave you her number, she's interested. Call her, plan a date where you can get her alone, and make a move. That should get to the bottom of everything. Stop over-thinking things. A boyfriend means nothing.

2 weeks is a bit of a tight deadline, remember she has a bf, there is little chance that you are going to see her enough and develop a sufficient enough relationship for her to think that you are a good enough replacement for her bf in two weeks. Patience.....I'd go with two weeks for 'some kind of advancement', and when I say that i mean coffee/drink/lunch and then judge it on that.

Good luck
