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.
Finally getting with your long term crush

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"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.

but i don't see this going anywhere and if i were y ou i'd be appaual by her actions
this is how i would persnally see the situtation
first of all i would never (anymore) be in a situtation where i liked a girl for 3 years and i wasn't fvcking her. but let's say i was. and i go in for the kiss and she responds. and then she has the freaking nerve after a night of making out to tell me this can't lead anywhere.
now,k you said yourself she has been a serial dater. i'm not even calling her a hoe or a slut. i'm saying you mean to tell me that i don't in your mind match the crateria as a man worth dating even though you dated half the city already?
next
there is no other way to see this. lol in the other thread we go into a very lenthgy discussion about the **** carousel and i argued that i don't believe in it. most of the time. lol this is the exception. this girl is a joke of a woman. i'm sorry.
the only reason she is kissing you is to make herself feel better / wanted until the next **** carousel conductor comes along and wets her whsitle.
you don't do it for her. i'm not even saying there is anything really wrong with you i think her judgement in men is god awful
when i first got here in was in a similar situation with a girl for 6 years. yes six. so this gets under my skin. oddly enough, i eventually got her. we quasi dated for one month and i was so disappoitnged because she was no where near worth all the trouble i went through
if i were you i'd let it go. i don't care how sexy or amazing she is she's playing games
