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.

Going to keep this short.

Homecoming is coming up, this girl who I kinda would like as a f-buddy wants me to ask her to go (I can definitely tell just by her actions). I don't want to go to homecoming. Right now I'm just ignoring it and advancing my goal of f-buddy.

My only threat is she decides "hes not taking me to homecoming so I'm going to look for other guys". While I realize I don't want to be exclusive with her, shes the type of girl that would look for an exclusive relationship so she has someone to go to homecoming with.

Ideas?
 

"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.

why exactly don't you want to go to homecoming?
$60 to sit in the school's cafe?

No thanks. I could split $60 out across like 4 nights out and have waaay more fun than spending it just to go to homecoming for one night. Plus tux rental and blah blah blaaah. Maybe senior year (I'm a junior), but just so I can say I did it.

If you don't take her, she will b!tch about it for weeks, and she will likely find another date. But the odds are probably 90% that he will be some afc who just screws it up anyway.

Spending money on a girl is often bad, but I think formal dances are one exception. They are incredibly stupid to us, but important to girls. You can still get what you want from her without the dance, but taking her may be the path of least resistance.

Not what I wanted to hear :(

I don't even know when homecoming is, all I know is they're selling tickets now and not for much longer.

I'll definitely think about it. How much are suit rentals?
 

"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.

you don't have to rent a tux do you? homecoming at my school is semi formal, thrown on a nice button up shirt, slacks, tie, suspenders if you want w/e and you're good to go.

you could always propose to go somewhere else instead of homecoming, not sure how that would fly with her though.
