Master Don Juan
This subject doesn't seem to be touched upon, so what's the smoothest way to handle the situation of hanging out with a girl while she's around her male friend who's hitting on her?
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.
