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.

Not much of a story, it's been like 2 or 3 weeks and I'm asking tomorrow, but how long are they usually interested in one guy for?
 

"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.

please... people... whats with these questions?!

it depends on the girl!

no i'm lying... a chick is usually interested in a guy for EXACTLY 2 days, 4 hours, 3 minutes... and maybe 52 seconds.

how you ask the girl for her number adds about 6 hours of interest... or subtracts 3 hours.

Depends on the girl, and depends on her level of interest. For instance, if she's new to the school or it's the start of a new school year, she'll meet a lot of guys and might have a minicrush on some of them for a day or so apiece, then lose interest. If she gets to know a guy more and they hit off well, she might like him for 1-2, maybe 3 weeks. If it's the guy friend she fell for but he's not interested, she could hang on to that feeling for a long time. It varies. In general, your window of opportunity is 2-8 days.

No lie no bull**** I mess wit girls who are interested in me for school years. Depends on the girl real talk. I went wit a girl who lost interest in a week. And shows she lost interest from FULL atttraction. Depends on the girl.
 

"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.

^absolutely no bull, I acted way too AFC to a girl that was very very highly attracted to me initially to the point she ran to another guy and went out with him (bf) until I got up and regained my game and became a DJ/PUA status, she now is more attracted to me then she was when I gave her too much attention. The point was I was way too needy/desperate and very unconfident. I would come up from behind her and talk to her in a low mono tone voice in the hallways and talk about random things with her. I would walk behind her and wait/follow her everywhere she went...I just gave too much in such little time...not good lesson learned

Well, the main mechanism here is change. Something has to change about YOU for her to lose interest. Im assuming its all physical attraction and if so, it could be as simple as that she saw your face from a certain angle and from a different angle, you don't look as good as what attracted her. Ever had a girl you thought was attractive then when she smiles or something she just doesn't look as good anymore? Just any change, and if we are not in her mind we can't know. What I find though is that if you get a fair amount of women showing interest in you, meaning you are pretty attractive, then unless you are in a car accident that disfigures you horribly she will never really lose interest. But that doesn't mean you will get her ;)
