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.

"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.

1. Make sure that you are nice to her freind...

2. Share your attention 60/40 (60 target 40 freind)

3. do not isolate... and maintain composre if freind attacks... just smile and disarm...

4. TRy to set-up next date tonight, to make your intentions clear.

She's bringing a friend? How is this a date?

If you can, invite a female friend to come with the three of you. If she's inviting friends, you can to. I'd inform your female friend of the situation though.

it's a little late for me to invite a female friend.
I don't really know or care if it a date or not. I don't think my intentions were made clear when I was setting this thing up. oh well.

It will pay off.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

yeah it sucked. actually the girls suck. I didn't have a good time and I shoulda nexted her and her friend early on the date but like an a** I let them hang for a while. She kinda turned out to be a turd sandwich so I am glad I didn't wind up with her. I can hang with rosy palm for one night. I drank a couple shots of sake too and that was cool. guys remember not to tolerate sucky-ness from girls. I did for one too many hours tonight and that **** was lame. I'm having more fun being a keyboard jockey at the moment.

Ouch, I don't like how you just went to the booze because of a negative experience. Just sharing some sensibility to ya. If it was a bad experience, then let it be.. see it as a lesson not something that you should've avoided or "nexted."

actually, if she brings a freind, it does not mean that she is not intresting in you... that's my opinion and experiance....

what it usually means is that she is unsure of how she will be with you, or if you are right for her....

and that is why they bring that freinds along,

for the friends' seal of approval

and so they don't **** you on the first nihgt....

but good for u man... if she is no good,

she is no good.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Always do what is true to your heart, be honest.

You want to be alone with her, and let her know that in the future.

You make the call, you make the shots.

yeah she is totally no good. she is a little bit too sporadic and she doesn't seem like she has her s*** together upstairs. I don't know what the deal was. yeah now that I have a hangover I wish I wouldn't of started drinking so much but I am taking this as a lesson rather than beating myself up over not nexting her. it's the best thing for me to do at this point. I kinda want to delete her off of my myspace but I think I'll wait a couple of days.

Don't deliberately show off pictures of you and other girls. Makes you seem desperate and looks like you're "trying to impress her".

Maybe that's not what you meant but just in case;)
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
