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.

Flakey or Interested?

So I work with this one chick and ask her out on a date but unfortunately the date doesn't go all that well. At the end of the night I ask her out again and she agrees. But when I call her to set up the date she asks if we could move the date to the next day because her friend is in town and she wants to hang out. I say that's ok. Before hanging up she says that she'll call me on Sat (this was on a Fri) so that we can set something up. She never called. She's very warm and huggy at work. So my question is this chick interested or am I sensing flakiness and should just move on? If she was interested she wouldn't have canceled right? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

"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.

Actions speak louder than words.

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.


If you called her on the day of and she didn't call you back, consider it a lost cause. If I were you, I'd go talk to other women and put this one on the backburner.

Also, if a woman flakes on you, you have failed. I go with the law of least effort. Flaking is a sign of disinterest. Why would you give such a woman a second chance? I don't unless she pursues me and actually follows through. AFAIC, the only IOI (indicator of interest) is the girl actually following through on plans and wanting to see you. An interested woman will move a mountain to see you, and will not confuse you. Think about that.

Besides, the date didn't go so well. Then you asked her out again right at the end of the night? Bad move. That killed the mystery and now this woman knows she has you. She's in control. Not good.

Also, ask yourself, would she cancel out on Channing Tatum? Hell no.

Alas, if she follows through, she may be interested. If she avoids you or flakes, delete her. Simple.

Case closed.
