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.

There was a rather petite finely shaped blonded sitting a few tables away from me during dinner tonight in my college cafeteria. She insisted in looking into my eyes everytime I looked in her direction and I would only stop looking her in the eyes when she would tilt her head down. She would do it every time she saw that I looked in her direction, just straight in the eyes...

Well, she didn't have a very big smile on her face, so I am wondering if she thinks I look funny or is a psycho or something, or maybe she was curious about me...

What do you guys think?

"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.

Well

So, she kept steady eye contact with you from a distance. What does this mean?

It means you should have approached, given that would take some balls because she probably was with friends. Too late now. When in doubt, act. If you don't act, you'll be left dumbfounded and you won't have the confidence the next time as well. Just go over to her table and introduce yourself. I can't imagine a person responding rudely to that, no matter their interest in you.

Where she wasn't smiling it probably didn't mean much. She most likely was bored and found someone she was curious about. Could mean a lot of things though, only way to find out is investigate further. I hope your uninterrupted dinner was better than a conversation with her, because that's all you had to lose.

In that situation I would have probably waved at her or approached her to validate the situation.
She could be nearsighted or looking slightly away from you and you might not realize it.

I don't think she is nearsighted unless she always wears contacts.

No, she was looking me directly in the eyes. She would stare a little when I wasn't looking, and then I would look at her and she would just stare at me in the eyes until she looked down submissively. I would turn my head and she would be back to stareing, and when I looked back at her she would be looking right in my eyes again for a signifigant amount of time and then she would look down, again...

I think since she instigated it, she was waiting to see if you thought she was cute. You should have smiled if you liked her, and then it sounds as if you would have got a smile back. Why not say hi to her next time your paths cross?

Forget about speculating about what she is thinking, it's a waste of time. The only way to know (if even somewhat) is to find out from her.

If you are lucky enough to find yourself in the same situation again, consider doing this; when you catch her staring, take your tray (while keeping you eye contact with her), walk over to her table and sit directly across from her. While still holding your gaze with hers, wait a few minutes and say "So tell me (dramatic pause) what do you see?"

With that, you will find out her interest level or at least if she is a flake. :p

Lol, classic... Consider that done... In my sort of way, though.

You know, I still have to be me just like new and improved...

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
