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 lying just to save face?

i had a 1st and 2nd dates with this chick from Facebook and i kinda flopped on the 2nd date cos i felt under pressure and nervous.

anyway i found out from someone else that she told him she had a boyfriend and changed her status from single to just 'looking for friendship'

i called her over the weekend and this chick never replies to me, when im out with her she's surgically attached to her phone so i know she just ignores my calls but i just seem to refuse to take a non-verbal hint.. (i know it seems narcisstic and border line arrogant but i can't accept that she's not interested in me.. like the concept is foreign, i know she's physically attracted to me but i can't stop pursuing it)

anyway i sent her a text today saying 'i think u have a bf and have been leading me on all this time.. im not angry it just exlpains a few things about your bad behaviour and why u won't let me kiss u. we'll talk again when you're single again ;) and hopefully i might still be available and interested tho i cant guarantee it. take care. '

she responded with 'i dont. take care.'

i think she's lying.. would she just lie to save face? just to make it seem i got it all wrong.
 

"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.

If she changes her status like that, it doesn't necessarily mean that she is in a relationship.

If she's not interested in you, then you should drop the set. Why waste your time on her? There's a hundred other girls you could be talking to.

I think you shouldn't have asked her about her having a boyfriend in the first place. First of all, she now knows you were looking around at her profile. Also, bringing up her not kissing you was not a good move.

I think she could have been lying. But who cares if she has a boyfriend, if it's a big issue she will bring it up.

she's losing interest in you or has lost a considerable amount based on your 2nd date I'm assuming. Her concise response is not a good sign. Whether or not she has a boyfriend is irrelevant. although the fact that she felt the need to tell you she isn't in a relationship does muddle things up a bit. You played your cards poorly with that text. You attempted to show that you are not going to wait around and insinutated that you are sought after by stating you might not be single. If you reinitiate conversation now, you are negating everything you said beforehand...

i just said that i might be still interested later on when she becomes single on the assumption she had a bf..

bear in mind she told someone else on facebook she had a boyfriend then changed her status from single to just friendship.

that person then told me so i never brought it up.. i reckon she's just saving face cos she knows she was leading me on trying to spin me with her current bf and is telling me she didn't cos she doesn't want to look like she's the bad one cos she knows that if she did she shouldn't be seeing me?
 

"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.

i seem to be so narcissitic and arrogant that i can't accept she wasn't into me.. i know she found me physically attractive so to me it equates in my mind it should not equal a failure although i did f up..

i know that when a girl isn't physically attracted to me i'm more accepting that it isn't going to work but i'm a little miffed that physical attraction isn't enough to make up for some of my afc mistakes with her.. like i would have thought i'd have more scope for error..

i'm just p1ssed that she acted like a spoilt little child and threw a tantrum when i questioned why she didn't get back to me on such and such day before our 2nd date..

give it up and find a woman who likes you. Ever see those couples out there where the woman is like smothering her man with affection? that's what you want and if this gal isn't doing that move on.
