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.

Girl acting strange since breaking things off

Was seeing this girl, nothing serious, just casual for a couple months. Well, she broke things off, became less responsive and more distant, stopped replying to my texts, etc.

So I thought whatever and didn't try to get back with her. Well, it's been three months or so and whenever I see her around work (I never see her on a day to day business as we work in different areas of the building...I've seen her around at work maybe three-four times total in those three months), she acts awkward around me.

Like, won't look at me, even when we're walking by each other. And yesterday, it was the longest we had been in the same room since, and she never looked in my direction. And weirdly, I was talking to one of the other coworkers and the coworker mentioned that the HB knew something about the topic we were talking about and called over to her and she just kind of looked at us and said "what's up" and then looked away and didn't come over.

I mean, I was doing okay. I know I shouldn't care. But that interaction yesterday bothered me. I mean, what the hell, it's not like I've creeped on her or anything. The first time she stopped replying to me, I stopped texting her. She's the one saying no to me, so why is she acting like I'm the one who did her wrong?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Like the phrase: "If she blocks you, you win". Its obviously that she is acting childish, because she still care about you, otherwise she will act indifferently, she is giving a lot of importance in a relationship that is over. My advice is to get over it, you need to move on, you don't need this kind of people in your life.

Don't worry about it. Be civil when you see her and move along.

I appreciate the advice, but this is what I don't get. She's the one who broke it off......so why is she acting childish? I don't get it, wouldn't she just not care?

You have just said that, she is the one who end the relationship, and she cant understand that you continue with your life, is she is mature enough to broke it off she need to assume the consequences, instead of that she is acting weird... in my point of view that an childish attitude.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Because she's acting as though I've "wronged" her somehow. I would get that if I was the one who broke things off, but she was the one who broke them off, so I don't know why she's acting as if I've wronged her.

I'm just trying to think this through. It surprisingly unsettled me yesterday.

Because she feels in her arrogance she is above you snd she knows you like her so she feels she can treat you how she wants. Go 100 % ignore on her and dont give her a second thought

whats there to think about dude? like seriously, get your head out of the sand. focus on things that actually MATTER. She DOES NOT matter. What she thinks of you or how she is acting is typical female behavior..who gives a fuk why. its based off her emotions and emotions cant be reasoned with logic so stop wasting your time playboy

What she thinks of you is none of your business from this point on. You sound like a woman bringing up all of this unnecessary drama when it's over already. Why is it bothering you? Could it be, you still got that one-itis for this chick?

Forget about it bruh. Whether she ignores you or stares at you or tries to play push-pull or threatens to kill herself over you, who the f*ck cares. Your ties with her have been severed. From this point on, all of her actions should be irrelevant. She is irrelevant. Why are you trying to make logical sense of her actions?

FORGET ABOUT IT.

Wow! The answer is in the question... Think about it.

Btw, do realize that the reason she dumped you is exactly because of how you're acting right now?

I never validate these slores. Make her hamster spin.

Her: Roscoe, I've been thinking things aren't working out for us and well.. I want to break up.

Roscoe: Breakup? Hmm, I didn't know we were together. But yea sure thing Princess.
You leave and walk out.

Her: (in her hamster head) Wtf! He might be a man after all... what have I done? Oh so my p!ssy's not made of gold then? Was he playing me all this time? Is there someone else.

---------------------

I remember the first time I actually tried this on a female that was in the process of dumping me. It made her hamster mind spin like a lottery wheel. Coulda swore I was at the casino. I ignored the sh!t out of her too. She begged ne to come back, but I was done. And you need to be done too...March on soldier!
