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.

So, I just moved into an off campus house on a block with many attractive girls.
I was sitting on my porch with my dog and started conversations with different girls walking by trying not to be creepy. I need to work on my porch game...So one girl I was interested in told me she worked at a nightclub in the area. For some reason, I told her I was 21, but wont be until February. I know she was feeling me, she asked for me to take her number and text her, she didnt have her phone with her. She said she will invite me out when she goes and vice versa. I have a fake ID, but don't want to resort to that..id rather be honest then end up getting rejected and being so embarrassed.

I initially texted her saying, "Hey, it's jon from the block." She replied, "Hey Jon from the block. It's *****, lol." I havent replied to her text. Thinking about waiting til tomorrow, texting something along the lines of hey ***** from the block and inviting her over for drinks with my roommate and i before going out, shell bring a friend, and ill break the underage news to her during a game of pong

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I was just thinking that maybe i wouldn't tell her that im really 20 and see how we get along and tell her that i'm not interested in going to a bar, my friend is having a party. And if we see each other again I will tell her then and save the awkwardness.

Out of no where, this girl texted me telling me that she has class all night but this place is having happy hour. I asked her if that meant she's be in class and id be going without her and she said no she can't go but she knows guys like to eat so she told me....(so she's thinking about me?) so i said lets do something tomorrow then and she said shes working all weekend and wont really be available...we discussed going to the dog park together but no specific date because of her plans...her final text was a response to one of my jokes and i didnt reply, i just cut it off there...
What's my next step? When should I contact her or wait for her to contact me? She still thinks I'm 21 too, lol
 

"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.

LOL, "Porch Game"...

Give us an example of what you say to these girls as they walk by. Perhaps I am under-utilizing my own porch.

I usually just start with hi, and see where it goes. Sometimes they smile and keep waling and other times theyll stop and chat. Having a dog with me doesn't hurt ;D

Sounds like you've come up with a novel idea. Good luck with your porch game! ;)

How do you think I should tell this girl that I lied to her about my age? Were having a "day date" later this week.

Maintain a stern look and do not smile when you say this. You may do so and tell her you're really your actual age afterwards.

Haha you must be a trueblood fan! As an update - sh texted me the other day around 1 am telling me that I need to let her know if I'm coming to the club she works at on a particular night she has free invatations for and wanted to have enough for me and my friends. I just didn't answer. Todaay, it 2 days later I sent her a text saying, "hey let's go to the park tomorrow" which she agreed to do over text prior...no response. I like that vampire approach its funny but ill just tell her that I said I was 21 because she works at a club and I thought she was cute or that I wanþed to be able to go out with her.

Dude quit playing around. It's a chick. If she digs you, you can get away with whatever you want to say....at any age. Just don't be a creeper with how you say it.

you 'let do something this weekend'
her 'i have to work all weekend'
you 'that's unfortunate,but your lucky,were meeting up for lunch anyways 2 p.m. at (spot) see you there'

this chicks interest seems pretty low honestly i dont play this sh1t with a b1tch. its typical BS games. I aint chasing no hoe and thats the bottomline. A real ass chick who likes you is not going to make you jump through burning hoops and symp yourself out to hang with her.

Why didnt you just tell her the truth from the getgo about your age? Im 20 but I got a fake ID so I hope it gets me in at such an such otherwise we can just have some drinks at my place.

Easy as that son. If she is feeling you she will be at your place having some drinks.

I don't think her interest is low, in fact on the contrary. She texts me out of nowhere almost every other day.

I have a feeling her unresponsiveness might be in response to me not answering her promptly/ignoring some texts.
 

"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.

I have plans to go to the park with her and our dogs tomorrow afternoon.
How do I keep from being friendzoned?
