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 have been a DJ ever since I hit puberty. I talked to every girl I could, shared a smile as often as I could. I did not discriminate with women, I was friendly with beautiful chicks, and not so good looking chicks. I got into a relationship after years of being single in late 2008. This girl was beautiful, blond, great body, and loving. I was neutral and used all my DJ tactics to have her fall madly in love with me. I got used to her, and things were good.
One thing about me is that when I am in an exclusive relationship I am honest and loyal like a dog. Its in my nature. I am not the type of person to bend when I know that I am right.
Now here's the story of my relationship. We met on my birthday. She was immediately attracted to me and I was to her. My rule when meeting a girl is that I try to get in her pants on the first date and it is her job to say no. Most girls fail this test. But she valued herself and passed the test. I waited. We got together, and things were fun. She couldn't spend a few hours without saying that she loved me. I never told her I loved her. I learned to care for her. She was young and I saw her like a daughter almost.
A year went by and she mentioned she wanted me to marry her and have children. I got chill down my spine when she told me that she thought she was pregnant. I was a false alarm she wasn't. She lied about birth control and I hated her for that.
I left her shortly after that incident, I needed time to think. I didn't talk to her for a month and ignored her calls. A month went by without me talking to her and one day I decide to answer her call. I guess I felt lonely. We started talking again, but thing weren't right. She was careful and was distant. She told me she felt betrayed and that she could not cope with me leaving her again. Shortly afterward she changed her number without giving me the new number. And finally after all this time, I miss her. I wish she was still here, but I know it can never be. And I'm not going to look for her.
I went out as a single man to a few clubs last week and I still got the charm. I made out with a girl that looked just like her and for that instance I pretended it was her. I went on my first date in a year, and had sex on Sunday, it didn't feel right. So now I'm rebuilding my contact list again. Going out Friday Saturday Sunday. Hell, its a three day weekend. Now that i'm older, I realize that the goal in DJing is to get the attention, but more importantly it is to feel wanted.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I think it was the best decision, lying about contraception is pretty damn serious when I child could be brought into the world like that. You did the right thing leaving her, she did the right thing cutting contact after. Sure things could've gone differently, you could've been a great couple but it didn't work out that way.
Everyone wants to feel wanted in one way or another, gives your life a little more purpose when there isn't really one, other than to just exist. (Well, unless you have religious beliefs)
