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.

How should I end it?

I am 31 and already hung out with this 23 year old three times. I was not too attracted to her from the beginning, but she was decent and I figured maybe I could "hook up" with her.

The problem is, she lives at home and so do I. She is also not that type of girl (so it seems). This girl seems alot more into me than vice versa, which makes me uncomfortable (I would rather be the one getting dumped).

I am supposed to go to this bar with her tomorrow night and will probably still go.

Should I end it on myspace, in person (tomorrow night) ignore her calls, or end it on the phone?

I kind of feel ignoring her and the myspace thing is the cowards way out...but I have only been out with her a few times.
 

"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.

There's an easy out. Just start pushing her hard for more physical stuff. "Put out or I will have to move on." If she obliges, it's what you wanted anyways, right?

I couldn't do that, that is borderline coercion/sexual assault.

Central.

Too late, I told her on myspace It would be best to not see each other. I figure after only three dates, I don't OWE her a face to face talk or phonecall.
 

"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.

It's too late to answer, but I bet if you acted AFC she'd have ended it by the 4th date :)
