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 interested? or just being extra friendly?

so this girl saw my photo on one of my friends phone and i thought i was cute and told the booy she wanted me. the boy told me and gave me her number and i started talking to her. ive talked to her in person once that was almost 5 years ago. we start texting once in a while and she knew i had a girl. my recent relationship went bad and i told her we broke up. she always initiates texting like 80% of the time. im confused as to whether shes interested or really friendly. my friend told me she said she likes how im funny and she likes my company.she calls me boo, sweetheart, darling, love...my friend is a boy who is very close to her. he teased us once to me personally that we're lovers...i tried using the "chase me card" so she rather chases me but its confusing.shes out of the country though. she used a different phone number to text me trying to be my friend but i knew it was her so i tried not to look desperate to make it seem like im more of a bigger guy here. she tells me im cute and handsome sometimes. is she interested or just being extra friendly?
 

"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.

If you are that much of a b!tch that you can't ask her out because you are afraid she is going to reject you, then you don't deserve to know.

Hmm, you lost me at the "5" year part! SMH, just er um.. Nevermind.
 

"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.

That's so sweet. I always loved modern Disney stories. I hope you end up in love with each other.


On a serious note . WHY HAVE YOU NOT ASKED HER OUT YET?
I don't know if she's just being friendly or really likes me.

She calls you boo, sweetheart, handsome etc and yet you don't know if she likes you? Other people refer to you two as a couple? I think you're both pretty bad at this sh*t and neither of you can take a hint. Please for the love of god stop trying to get her to pursue you and just make a move already. Ask her out to do something with you and escalate.

The fact she's still interested in you this long after you haven't made a move says a lot about her. She must have no other options. You gotta wonder why that is.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Unless you're a chick or 12 years old, why are you referring to another male as "boy?" That sh*t is sweet as f*ck.

This is a very common mentality problem I've both seen in others and experienced to a deep degree myself, but the solution is relatively simple, as others in this thread have told you. I'll try and give you some of the same advice and insight I got (thanks to Poop1337):

The reason why you're getting afraid of making a move on a girl (who's obviously signaling interest) is probably that you don't want to screw it up. It's that thing where you get a good feeling from her liking you and then get nervous about fking it up so you'd rather not try at all - it would make the rejection worse because you got your hopes up. You want the girl to do all the work so you won't have to risk the interaction and the good feelings you've gotten so far. Or, that once you do go out on a date, you fear that she won't like you and that you'll have lost her affection. But the fact is, women very rarely will ask you out...they will be too shy, and are fearing pushing you away. It's the man's job to be aggressive and initiate.

Acknowledging this kind of mindset is the first step to overcoming it. And now, you're probably seeing how ridiculous this line of thinking is, right? You're too unsure about things to take what you want, and thus nothing gets accomplished...You need to realize there's no reward without risk. If you don't put yourself out there, you won't gain anything. Take it as a learning experience...if you're going to fail, fail now and learn from it so you'll be in better shape for the next girl. Ask her out, and HAVE FUN. Do YOU want her? That is the only question that's really important if you are deciding whether to ask her out. Her feelings before that point are irrelevant - if she doesn't want to go out, she'll tell you. If she does, she will (very happily) say yes.

Remember I said she's outta the country. And sometimes too she's a little boring. Long dist is why I haven't made a move. But I'll ask her out.

God damn it!

Ask her out already! What the f**k do you have to lose? The worst she can do is turn you down!

Case closed. Get out of my court and ask her out!

Clear text direct answer: She is without a doubt interested.

Nobody calls their friend boo, sweetheart, darling or love. Just nobody does that except if it's obviously done as a running joke. Just ask her out and return the favor. As mentioned the worst she can do is to turn you down, but the odds of that happening is extremely unlikely. If you also like her just imagine how fvcking stupid you'll feel when you later realize she really did like you and you have to regret doing nothing about it.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

This I forgot, her being out of the country changes things. Is there any imminent meeting between the two of you coming up? Will she be in your country anytime soon? Or has all of your conversation been through online/phone?

If there's no existing plans to see each other in person, I wouldn't invest too much emotionally in her. Long Distance basically never works man...you can continue talking and being friendly to her I suppose, but start investing yourself in the women who are around you.

The principles we've given you still hold true though...you shouldn't be asking "Does she like me?" This question is irrelevant - and difficult to truly answer - before you've asked for her number/asked her on a date (exceptions are if she utterly detests you or is completely head over heels for you). During the dating process, you can start to think about it a little, but until then the issue isn't that important.

Something you'll hear often is rejection is better than regret...

You're in a state of not knowing if she's interested right now and she's dangling on
the fvcking hook. Imagine the state of not knowing and wondering you'll be in, in
6 months or 1 year when she's gone and you did....nothing

the conversation she had with boy....I mean your friend was enough you need to know
that she displayed interest.

It's your job to persue that azz......fvcking persue it and push past that fear mindset

...she's out of the country? permanently? If it's permanently, then toss the fvcking number.

Start reading the DJ Bible now.....and go out and get at least two more phone numbers.

Do it. Go. Now.
