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.

Got my ass in a LTR.

What is the procedure of getting checked for STDs? Blood test, what else? And around how much would it cost.
Blood drawn (single syringe), and urine.

In Australia, it costs A$40, but this is completely covered by Medicare, so you just hand over your Medicare card no cash. I think you may actually have to pay in the US, though.
 

"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.

Well, I don't know about elsewhere, but you can get free testing here in NM for just about anything (STD - wise) at low-income clinics. I had to take that walk of shame when my ex cheated on me. Thank God I didn't have anything.

Just tell them you'd like to be tested for STDs. They'll know what to do, and ask you about your exposure. If you do come back with anything, they'll require that you notify all of your past sexual partners, so that THEY can be tested.

Well, I decided not to get her checked, and don't think she has anything.

I screwed her this morning.
Or was it that she wanted to **** now and you didn't want to wait?
 

"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.

Nah, we were talking online the night before. She told me we're not going to have sex this morning, and said she was serious. Well, i said "Alright, whatever." I was tired so i went to bed.

Then, i went, got us both naked, and did it.

I lost my v-card.

why are you having plans having an LTR with a girl if you just lost your virginity and are completely inexperienced? You know that you aren't going to marry this girl, right? You know that committing to a LTR (by the way, how can you call it an LTR if you haven't even dated her for lets say a year? ) means that you are limiting yourself at 18 to just ONE girl - which is your own way of saying that you do not have enough game to meet new girls, and feel "safe" having just this one, thus your committment is not really a genuine one, but just a display of laziness on your part.

this is to the orginal topic starter!

Dude, this girl is just a s**t most likely. Your saying you love her already? LOL, I have been in this situation and it turns out bad. Im all for LTR's but I can see this is just some immature girl who thinks she loves you.

If shes already been with 8 dudes at 18 this should tell you something. I went out with a girl just like this, as soon as a better guy comes along she will drop you quick. Thats just how girls like this are, its just fun for them. You think you know her but you don't,lol.....girls can be mean when they decide they dont like you anymore.

Easy come easy go man, people don't fall in love overnight. Just be careful and dont get your heart broken. Good luck though, those are just my thoughts :)

Hope you enjoyed your first time. :cool:



I am hoping you used a condom, though. She is a high risk person.

EDIT: By the way, the OP never said he was "in love", he just said it was a potential LTR, and that she said she loved him.

congrats on losing your v-card, but i wouldn't by any means call this a long term relationship, you just met her recently (if i'm correct), and i, personally, don't throw the word "love" in a relationship until it's pretty deep in it (which never really happens to me lmao) i'm glad that you like her a lot, i just don't want to see you get sad or disappointed if she leaves you (not saying that she will, but you can never say it won't) just don't get to attached is really the only advice i could give
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Thanks for taking time to read and actually understand what i'm saying, Captain.

She claimed that most of the guys she did were virgins. I saw pictures of her ex-boyfriends, and they looked extremely AFC and pathetic. Lol.

Anyway, I thrusted her a few times without a condom, then wore 1 to complete the rest. ~_~

Just keep your head above the waters. Whatever it is she's saying to you, she probably said the same thing to those other 7 guys.

I'm just enjoying the way things are now, not really getting emotional anymore. Whatever happens, i don't think i would be the one hurt. :up:
