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.

Summary of the situation:

I met a girl, we hit it off nicely, a couple weeks later she tells me she is kind of seeing another guy (she apparently was since I knew her) and tells me she doesn't want me to feel like I'm on the sidelines.

So I start moving on, but somehow I see her Friday and Saturday night and she starts hanging all over me, I just keep ignoring her and talk to other girls at the parties. She even got extremely jealous of a girl I was flirting with, she didn't even try to hide it. So today I got a text saying:

"I'm really sorry about everything. I dont want you to hate me because I think im always gonna have a thing for you."

I replied with "Its really hard to believe that considering you just threw me to the side for another guy."

And her final comment was "Its not like that. I honestly dont know what happened."

I'm just not sure what I should say to her next. Any suggestions? Am I being too hard on her since she was kind of already seeing this guy and I stepped in? I'm lost.

This is why I avoid dating, but I think this girl is really cool.
 

"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.

You showed her that you didn't need to have her around to have fun or to get the most out of your life. You didn't try to keep her or present yourself as a better possibility than whoever the other guy was. You had the power to and were able to just walk away. Girls like that.

Whatever you do, don't switch to some sort of "oh, we should be together then" mode. Keep letting her chase you, but keep giving her just enough hope that you might come around or that you might be a little interested.
