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.

Don't be a nice, complimenting good guy. Be ****y, be funny. Let her know that your not the 'the guy that waits on her' or 'the guy thats gonna be there for her all the time'. Keep limited contact with her, dont show her alot of attention. Coupla years is a long time to keep that up!

Reason guys get in the friend zone is because they don't escalate and take to long to start escalation.

Start kinoing from when you first meet a chick and don't stop the escalation. Many guys do all this fancy gaming sh!t but don't escalate and they wonder why they don't get no chicks.

Escalating shows confidence because afcs can't escalate.

How to keep that girl you mentioned from being friend? Don't see her for these couple of years, don't be interested in her.


You want her to be your lover in couple of years. For that there must be that lover's frame between you two. You will develop something else now if you don't go for it. Once frame is developed, there is nothing you can do to change it.

On the other hand if you have no frame with this girl, then you can start fresh with her. Thus don't see her for couple of years. (until she grows up?)

Hmm, nothing can happen till a couple of years? Is she sixteen or something?

As for the friends zone thing that is an issue that is plaguing my life, which I am currently struggling with.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Who cares if shes 16 - the OP is only 20. 4 year difference wooow. Anything 16+ is fair game.

Where I'm from it's illegal to have sex with a girl if she is under 18, if the guy is 18+.

That was my guess to why nothing can happen in two years.

umm its complicated, I had a thing with this girl it was liek a long distance relationship kinda thing, it ended liek 6 months+ ago, in a couple of years Im moving up (not because of her) and it wont be long distance anymore, shes a good friend though, so Im trying to keep the balance between friendship and a possible relationship, shes 18 btw, and I was 19 and she was 17 and the last thing that came to my mind was her being "underage" :p

we have that "lovers" background I just want the maximoun amount of contact still without touching the friends zone, Im not obsessed or feeling needy to talk to her or anything, but I completly kinda stopped talkign to her like 5 months ago cause I was freaking out about just turning into a friend, however I dont think COMPLETLY stopping the talk is the solution, I wanna know where the balance is if we can just be "normal"

I have a friend that ljbf me, and we ARE very close friends, but the next time the topic of a relationship comes up, I have the question ready:

"You tell me you're afraid, and you don't want to make a mistake again (bad past relationships), but don't you think I am worth taking a chance on"

I would say to just let her go. There are plenty of other attractive women where you live, so don't worry so much about somebody in another state. Chances are good she'll find someone else while you're gone. That's a good thing. It's healthy and it's natural. You need to do the same.

Pining over someone for a matter of years? That's what I'd call unhealthy.

Oh, and Lighthouse? Ew. Just, ew. Your post reeks of neediness. VERY unattractive. The more you need something, the less power you have. Women are attracted to men who don't give away their power. Let her go, and go sarge other women.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
