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's MARRIED with TWO KIDS and he WORKS with her. He's going to potentially get sexual harassment charges filed and potentially lose his job if he doesn't just forget about her.

He needs to go out and meet other women and forget about this before he messes up his life.
way to exaggerate lol I gave her massages and touched/hugged many times, she let me, probably because she sees me as safe, just a kid

First of all, I would never try anything, I have never shown any legit sign that I'm into her. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just that young boy she used to work with. I realize it is a case of oneitis, and I'm probably obsessed with her, but I still would like to keep a friendship, remain friends at least.

I believe that as long as I don't try anything, and just act as a friend, we would continue to be friends, or acquaintances in good terms. I know if I tried anything, she would remove me from her life. I have lost friends in the past, for becoming too clingy, or acting stupid, it is probably because of my upbringing, never experienced love, never had friends, and when I find someone that cares about me, and I really care about, I become too clingy, too possessive
 

"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.

Besides the married...there are A BUNCH of reasons not to do this.

Some of them:
-She's 15 years older.
-She's 45.
-She basically blows him off now that she changed depts.
-It's oneitis.
what should i do then, you are not telling anything new lol

I don't want to completely remove her from my life, I still see her at work breaks and some times when she happens to be alone, we talk for a while, but you could say she "blows me off" when she is with her friends, deep down, I don't expect her to give me 100% attention, I'm not her husband or children, also the fact that I'm kid compared to her, probably has a lot to do with it

I will probably just distance myself from her, and stop acting so needy, i really dont want to remove her from my life completely, I also don't want to lose her as a friend, which is why I haven't tried anything

15 years is nothing. Who said he wanted to marry her, or spend the rest of his life with her. My wife is 35 years my junior, but we have a ball together.
