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’m casually dating a woman at the moment and looks wise i couldn’t ask for more , shape on her is perfect and physically we couldn’t be a better match

Its just mentally i feel like we could connect a little better ........at the moment the pure attraction between us just seems to be overruling everything else and as a result we can’t seem to get a meaningful conversation going

its weird to explain and i haven’t really had anything like this before

basically i just want her to open up to me i want to get a better understanding of who she is instead of just messing & joking about all the time :rolleyes:
 

"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.

She may just be introverted or maybe she doesn't understand who she it? Majority of my exs were introverted, sometimes there just really isn't much going on there. The tend to have boring hobbies, IMO. A lot of broads have boring lives and end up adopting the likes of who ever they are dating. I prefer extroverted chicks but the kicker is sometime it's to much to handle for me. She's creating a challenge and it's working on you, keepin you interested by being aloof! She may just have some baggage she is trying to hide until the right time? Who knows dude you'll find out eventually.

Try active dates, darts, pool, shuffle board..lol maybe she will open up then?

One day, while you guys are casually hanging out, mention something serious or tragic that happened to you in the past. You have to casually drop it in so it doesn't seem forced.

It looks like she needs more time to open up so easy man. Give her time:).
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
