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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.
How long has it been since you met a girl that has no red flags? Or maybe just one or two minor ones?
Girls are great at hiding just about anything. Every girl has some type of red flags, you just have not uncovered them yet. The number of times where I thought a girl had minimal red flags, and then one night.. BOOM, she lays it all on you.

When we first met (as many of you know) my girlfriend had enough red flags to scare a buzzard off a sh!twagon (she was a 20 year old stripper for starters). One by one I realized most of the things that scared me about her were exaggerated, or all in my imagination, or she grew out of them, or she admitted she was wrong, or she trended in the other direction. Suddenly she has blossomed into a nearly perfect woman.

If it feels incredible (for both of you) to hold each other, you can work through most of the other things.
Neil, question for you bud. Do you feel most girls will grow out of "those red flags" or is it just a toss up depending on the girl. You said she was 20, and the 20s can be a rough time for some because you are out in the real world for the first time, trying to "make it." Do you feel that exacerbates her issues? Especially if she has any insecurity issues?
