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've been having this problem for a while with a current female intrest. She and I hit it off pretty well around the third time we met and actually got to chat for a bit. Problem being is that her best friend whom I've known for a couple of years through other friends is so into me that even I am able to recognize this. I have zero intrest in this girl and thought I made it pretty clear to her. However, since she realized her friend and I hit it off she is doing anything and everything to sabotage the two of us having anykind of alone time. This includes guilting her into going to the bar for an aquantice's birthday instead of a movie night at her house alone. She's even physically placed herself between us at parties. It's sad really......

Anyone have any advice on how to handle this problem?
 

"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'd disappear - drop both of them like cold turkey for a month. Come back and see what happens. Pursue other women.

no, don't do that.

First tell the girl that you like what's on your mind.

If that doesn't help, then tell c0ck block to back the fug off.

Naw, if she's listening to her friend instead of you, forget them both.

Point it out with ****y humor. Next time it happens:

"Whoah, tell your friend there's enough of me to go around."
"Man, your friend is so blatantly jeleous of me, she might push you down a flight of stairs, look out!"

If that doesn't help, then tell c0ck block to back the fug off.
Hah, no, I doubt she'll do that. No point in even telling her.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I'd pretty much already decided that I was probably going to just move on and leave it at that. My stubborness to not let the friend win is the only thing that's kept me from it. I've actually brought it up to her before and the only response was "I know, I know" but nothing was solved.

Glad to know you guys agreed with me.
