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.

Do you usually wait to see if a girl checks you out? (Eye contact, smiles, etc.)

Or

Do you just approach out of the blue? (No signals from her.)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is how I approach.

When I see a hot girl that I'd like to approach, I usually stand somewhere where I can easily be seen by her, I talk to a friend and make sure I appear to be having a good time. Then when she notices me, I act like she is just catching my eye at the same time. Then, if she holds the eye contact, that's when I smile. If she smiles back, the game is ON! I walk on over, usually with an opener such as,

"Were you eye flirting with me?"

Or

"Should we talk? Or I can go back over there and we can keep flirting from a distance."

I approach from behind with a chloroform rag in my right hand.

I wave and smile
 

"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.

With confidence, swagger, and a sense of humor.

Especially after they look at me, bite their lip, and turn away.

good question,

and once again, most of the answers turn out to be extremely general. here's mine:

- i try to get eye contact and gauge her reaction... it's either go or no go depending on her expression. if she scowls at me, then there's certainly no point in going in.

but usually, it's difficult to make eye contact with women... they don't seem to be open to looking a stranger in the face.

in that case, i try to initiate ANY INCIDENTAL INTERACTION (tm :) ... ask them about what they're reading or whatever the surrounding will support. my theory is: it is COMPLETELY innocent but SHE KNOWS EXACTLY what you're doing. if she's interested, she responds with interest and i proceed.

if she's not interested and answers quickly or distractedly, i'm gone and no harm done. not much risked.

i feel like i may not be doing things exactly right or am not being agressive enough... any correction would be appreciated.

finally, i've noticed that there might be a "dance" involved in a self enclosed area like a bookstore... if you check out a chick and relocate and later you find her in your vicinity, she might be signaling an approach. confirmation anyone?

You're right, I'd like to hear some more SPECIFIC ways of how you do your approach, I already said mine with specifics thinking that would get other people to do it also.

I do like the way you approach Delta, I tried that a few times. It seems to work fairly well at initiating a conversation, but sometimes I do feel like it is unclear of what you're really after to the girl. I usually do that, then, judging by her reaction immediately move into being more flirty.

And definitely pay attention to how the chicks react if they do notice you. Even if you're just walking down the street, and you pass some hottie, sometimes they don't look as your passing, but ALWAYS look over your shoulder. I noticed they usually do a lot of looking once they think YOU are not watching.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

What's works for me is a situational opener with my trademark boyish charm. Also, I usually don't wait for signals but if they're there, that works.

Specific example from today:

(Me Just getting off work at KFC and eyeing an HB 8.5 eating)

RM: Hey, mind if I sit with you? *With trademark innocent boyish look*
HB: Don't you work here?
RM: Yeah but we have a policy against bothering customers, unless they want us to.
HB: Alright.
(blah blah blah lol lol yadda yadda She works at (movies)blah blah)
RM:Alright, thurs. dinner at KFC and a movie at (her workplace), a free date for cheap students. (Hand her my phone)

But overall I believe that staying 'level' and 'smooth' are the most important keys to success.
