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.

Just same back from the Wedding. Ended up mingling with family. Tried scoping around, but almost everyone was taken/partnered up with someone else. Felt tired when the dance started, had a coffee martini, other drinks before, etc.... and after hugging the Bride (and believe me I wanted to hug her, she gave me a nice hug before leaving....after told the groom how lucky he was to be with her (ie she's my cousin BTW, but I have been wanting to meet her for some time in the last decade), I guess that flattered her

Anyway, food was great. The moment was great. Had a nice selfie with my cousin. Hugged other cousins, all my cousins are very attractive so the hugs were all great. I'm going to make sure I don't complain about getting hugs from women for the next month or so...really got my fills on hugs.

Therefore, if I was looking for hugging up women (ie being first cousins blood relatives, if that also counts?), and especially the Bride, it was a success. Again, I don't feel events like this lend itself to allot of single women showing up. Perhaps if I mingled with the Groom's side a bit more, or stayed around and scoped for someone to dance with, if the event lend itself to that later (ie if there was some sort of singles dance mixer or something), then that might have happened? However, given the fact that two other posters in here said the event does not lend itself to that, then I think I probably sneeked out at the right time.

At least I had enough good interactions with the opposite sex today so I shouldn't feel as interaction-hungry when I go to work on Tuesday or next week. Hopefully some of that good social energy will stay throughout the week/month.

New things that were done out of the ordinary:
1) Selfie with cousin
2) Alcohol consumed (4-5 drinks, and a coffee martini, etc...)
3) Hugged cousins up. Very warm hugs by them.

Anything where I would have regretted going and/or staying home and doing something else?
1) Definitely preferred to go to this Wedding...it was an experience.
2) There was no need to have felt anxious prior this wedding since I was dealing with family rather than strangers.


I'll leave it at that and circle back to see if there is any more feedback.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
