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.

Well I was walking to the Tim Horton's to grab some food and I see this really attractive blonde at a vending machine, definitely HB9.

Me: Ooh, what are you going to pick?
HB9: Hmm... I think I'll go with the sour cream and onion chips.
Me: Better buy a pack of gum while you're at it... sour cream and onion breath = not so hot.
HB9: (laughs) I only have $1.75 on me though!
Me: Uh oh, this isn't going to work. I'm looking for more of a sugar momma type of deal.
Me: My name's ******* by the way.
HB9: Nice to meet you! I'm HB9.
Me: Well hurry up with those chips HB9! We need to go to Timmy's.
HB9: We do?
Me: Yeah, I gave you moral support during your chip selection and I need the same for my donut. What if I pick the wrong one? I'd never forgive you, HB9.
HB9: I wouldn't want that kind of guilt on my mind.
(she laughs and smiles at me, I lead her by the waist towards Tim's)

Typical 'getting to know each other' banter while in the line up... I get some sticky crap on my hand at some point while waiting for my sandwich.

Me: One sec, gotta go wash this off!
(rinsed off my hands at a nearby sink and brushed the hair off my forehead with my wet hand)
HB9: Oh I see you did your hair all pretty for me?
Me: (smiles at her as if to say yes) Yeah... actually it's for her over there (I point at the old lady working at the place)
HB9: (laughs)
Me: We have a pretty typical marriage... I give her all my money and she makes me sandwiches and tells me to have a good day.

I finally get all my food.

Me: Well, looks like I'm done with you now, HB9.
Me: Actually, you'd better give me your number. I might need some entertainment in the Tim's line again in the future... I wouldn't want to deprive you.

She takes out a pen, grabs my arm and writes her number on my skin. I was going to ask if she's German (cause I'm Jewish and she's putting numbers on my skin) but I felt like there's no way I could ever make that funny or appropriate.

Anyway, it went really well all in all. The conversation was way less one sided than I made it seem, she talked my ear off while we were in line. Lots of IOIs, I started the kino really early; like within my first 30 seconds of knowing her. I'm pretty happy with how the whole thing went.
 

"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.

Great work!

Probably a good move not busting out the German joke, but I sure got a chuckle out of it. LOL

Good luck!
