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.

Is she gaming me?

I was hanging out with this girl regularly and hooking up but I saw myself becoming her 'backup' plan as she was looking for other guys. She got hammered and made out with some guy so I just ended things. In past experiences girls have always crawled back to me so that is what I expected her to do. The truth is she has treated it exactly like I would if I was her and this damn girl is starting to get into my head.

At first she messaged me saying that she felt bad but was angry wihow I treated the situation (didn't talk to her about it, just stopped talking to her) I just laughed at her and she eventually stopped talking.

I continued ignoring her for about 2 weeks and to my surprise she didn't try to contact me when eventually she messaged me appologizing and hoping I could come to her 19th birthday in a couple days. I agreed that I would go since it was another one of my friends birthdays anyways.

Since then she has initiated conversation 3 times since and 2 of the times she started the convo but then kinda went silent and 1 time I said I had to go after just a few minutes.

In the conversations she has dropped lines about how she has been really busy etc. How can I turn this into an f buddy relationship?

thanks guys
 

"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.

Well yeah, she's gaming you (I think you know this).

The reason she's not 'coming back to you' is because you reacted exactly like she expected; you reacted negatively when she hooked up with this dude.

Unless you've got a title with a girl these days, you can't be getting negative when they hook up with other guys. You simply stop talking to her, no explanations. By showing your anger she knows that you had time invested in her, so she sees that she can get you back anytime now.

If you were not to react then she would have wondered to herself 'hmm does afc_recovering really care about me? Maybe I'll ask him to hangout again to see.'

How do you make her an f-buddy? I think you know the answer to your question. Stop talking to her, see other women and when she comes back don't let yourself get emotionally involved. And lastly don't fault her for hooking up with other dudes if you guys aren't in a relationship.

I think it's pretty clear that the best thing to do is to keep my distance and let her think she's 'gaming me' and then eventually transform her into a fvck buddy, just avoiding entering a relationship.

How should I handle her birthday coming up (Tuesday) at the bar keeping in mind we haven't seen each other for a while or had a meaningful convo since January?

I'm predicting this girl is going to try to makeout with me etc, but I feel like if I give in too soon she will regain her ego and I will again be the back-up option whom she loves to cuddle but won't fvck.

I need a way to turn her down, but letting her believe she 'has a chance.' I don't want to take her back so soon and will try gaming other girls.

Any advice / lines to use in case she

A. tries to hook-up with me
B. 'acts' uninterested like this site would tell her t odo
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Haha ok quick recap. I really want to bone this girl because she is mint. HB9+ gets hit on everywhere she goes.

1. I've hooked up with this girl often, never sex.
2. She hooked up with a guy at a bar mid-January, I completely stopped talking to her.
3. She's tried contacting me a few times, I've mostly ignored her.
4. Her bday party is in 4 days which I agreed to go to.
5. I'm guessing she will either try really hard to get with me, or try really hard to make me jealous.

I want to be prepared for both situations, keeping in mind that I eventually want to bone this girl without getting emotionally attached as she clearly cannot be trusted. Hopefully that is better.

Advice?
