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.

I have the want to go out and do all this,but find myself held back by something. I don't know if it is fear,anxiety,or worrying about all these things,or some serious baggage. Or a lack of a plan. Which may be due to an inability to get organized. With everything. I mean,I can see myself as the type of guy we thrive to be,but have a hard time actualizing it. Like,I wouldn't know what to say to women. Or just be easy going feel free type. It always seemed to me you have to have everything together,yourself,school,finances,etc,and become this stern,strong type. Am I wrong? Also,living at home is getting to me. I can't stand living with the family. They get on my nerves over every little thing and I am ready to explode at them for these things.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Are we the same person? Perhaps. And no,I am not gay. I have just had nothing in a really long time.
 

"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.

hmm.good point. I can find the motivation to get up and go to school and work,even when I am dead tired. I can find the same things if I want to go out and buy something. Work takes up alot of my time,school is only two days a week. Perhaps that's why. I have only 2 days a week off. On those 2 days,I feel I could go insane. Every negative thing just comes screeching out of me. And the times like now,where I am not at work,I am here,at home. Wishing I was somewhere else.
