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 FOUGHT IT. I didn't call...and she didn't call me.

So today I had to fight it VERY hard to NOT call this girl up. I wanted to call her so bad because I want to talk to her. But I know that if I didn't call she won't call me and tonight proves it. Any ideas if this is a sign of not being interested or what? Should I just move on? I was thinking to myself "What if this girl is WAITING for me to call? and is afraid to call me?" But then I was thinking, I always fvckin call her every night and she doesn't answer....but then calls me up later. Now this time, I just didn't call her up at all and she never did call at all. I'm just confused.
 

"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.

Wait three days.

This will make her wonder, and I bet she'll miss you.

Who is this chick to you, and why are you calling her EVERY NIGHT???

Read the Book of Pook, chump. Games and silly strategies are not the answer to your life's problems; your mindset is all wrong.

It doesn't matter how badly you want to talk to her, it only matters how badly SHE wants to talk to YOU.
 

"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.

Don't call! Wait it out. There are only two things that can happen.

Either she wasn't into you and now she's relieved that you quit calling. In which case it's over, move on.

Or she's sitting at home driving herself nutts wondering why you aren't calling and she WILL attempt to make some contact with you, be it a text message, phone call, myspace, email, or whatever. And then she's Yours!

Not Calling Is Good, Just Make Sure It's Not Too Long.

Use this ratio

For every two calls from her you call her once and when you call her make sure you have something interesting and unique to say make her feel good while on the phone then dont call her till she calls twice simple

It sounds to me like her interest level is mediocre at best, because if she's into you she wouldn't be confusing you. It might be time to focus you attention elsewhere.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

This is not true, some women are just plain confusing. I know I can be.

For a moment there, I thought you were trying to avoid calling an ex.

I had to learn the hard way that I was much better off striking while the iron is hot. You're better off calling the next day instead of doing the wait, ESPECIALLY after meeting a woman for the first time. As long as you don't go overboard with calling her, you'll be fine.

If she doesn't answer, leave a message. If there's no voicemail, call the next day. If you get no response in a week, ditch her number.

I find women are typically horrible at initiating most things when they're dating a new guy. That's why you have to phone her, you have to pick the day, you have to pick the activity, and you have to set the pace of progression in the "relationship".

If I am really interested in a guy who got my #, and he calls the next day, it is GREAT.

For those of you who do want to play mind games though, call her the very next day, come on strong, THEN wait 3-5 days to call.

THAT sh!t drives me nuts.
