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.

So me and my friend, his gf and her friend went to the beach. My friends a true DJ but I'm trying to get back into the game. I'm still trying to get over this hurdle I have now. I'm a very closed person and some days I'm not very outgoing. The day at the beach I was extremely suckin it up. My friend and his gf were trying extremely hard to get us hooked up and we had some good moments of kino(They got us to get close for some pics, I tried brushin her hand a few times, etc). I just wasn't talking. I really just didnt know what to say. Well this girl was a go-go dancer and i wanna see how that translates into after hours recreation. I'm just lost in the sauce and don't know where to start with it. Any advice would be nice.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

You sound a lot like me.

First, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Since your friend's gf is trying to hook you up, the girl must like you. So try to relax.

Second, get into a good state before you guys hang out. Lift. Mediate. Play a sport. Run. Do anything but stress about the "date." I know what you mean about being out of it. I'm trying to work on being less state-dependent but for now the best I can do is do things beforehand that I know will relax me.

Good luck.

Can you say pressure, for her too. If you get a secound try at the double date thing your in.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
