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.

Alright, A friend of mine likes this girl, but she has a boyfriend (I know, I advised against it, but he pursued anyways.) Anyways, he hadn't seen her with her boyfriend in while so he pulled this little number;

Him: Hey, are you still going out with what's his name?
Her: Steven, yeah
Him: Damn
Her: Why?
Him: I totally have a crush on him, but I can't do anything 'till I get you out of the picture

I lol'd, he was wondering if he came of as too ghey. 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.

It's high school, so yes, people probably will think he's gay. It's a decent approach/random line, but used in day game or with friends/acquaintances, it can backfire.

Really lame.

At best, she might crack smile and did nothing to further things with her- at worst (and likely) it probably came off as just weird.
 

"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.

That's either crossing the line or getting really, really close to it. Depends on how he said it. You can make homosexual jokes with your guyfriends, and it's close to the line but not crossing it. If your friend didn't know Steven, then it would be pretty gay. Imagine Steven if he heard that guy said it. If he was a big football guy, he'd probably play smeer the queer on that guy's face.

Actually, it's college, but whatever.
She did laugh. He told me he said it obviously sarcastically and smiled at after he said it.

oh, and I got it wrong, he said "I totally have a crush on him, but I can't do anything 'till I get you out of the picture, Why Else?"

And yes, he has met Steven before, but I'm not sure how well they know each other. I think it was pretty funny considering he made it clear that he was only kidding, but it really depends on how he said it.
 

"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.

lol, Yeah, my friend's a natural semi-DJ. Sometimes he comes up with good stuff and other times... well yeah.

If he said it the way I'm picturing it in my mind, I think it was pretty funny

Sounds weird. IMHO I would have said "I totally have a crush on YOU, but I can't do anything until he's out of the picture."

Hmm, but if you do that wouldn't you might as well straight up tell her that you like her, which (as far as I know) is something you're not supposed to do.
