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 this flirting?

My girlfriend of a year and a few months, was just in the car with me and she called a guy that works at the same company asking if he can cover her shift tomorrow so we can hang out. First thing she says when he picks up the phone is "Hey geek" in a sort of joking way. Rest of it was just pretty quick and normal.

This guy has asked her to hang out before while he had a girlfriend and knew that she had a boyfriend, but she never did. She says he doens't do it anymore. I just want an outside opinion on whether you guys think this is flirting or not. I didn't say anything since I don't like overreacting before giving things more thought. "hey geek" friendly or flirty? Thanks
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I don't like overreacting
I think your post IS an overreaction. You're asking people here who have never met you or your gf whether or not she was flirting or just being friendly by calling a guy a "geek" on the phone(in a playful way). In my opinion, that's a sure fire sign of extreme jealousy and you need to let it go.

I understand he tried to ask her out knowing she was with you, but he isn't going to change her mind for her, she will do this all on her own. Your jealousy could make it a reality. Seriously, her comment isn't worth wasting your energy on.

I also had a similar situation.

This chick was walking by the street with me, and she eye contacted this random dude, then she stopped him, and asked him for the time. Do you think thats flirty or friendly?

Haha

damn, thanx for the replies. Yeah, I feel you guys, it's just that she usually flirts with me by calling me a "geek" or some dorky names like that, and now that she uses it on somebody else I guess it just lost a little bit of a meaning to me. I haven't said anything so I'm kool. And the last response, I dunno man, didn't you have a watch on you? Did she eye him up and down or something, how was the body language? Did it keep occuring (fishy behavior) I hope not. Are you still with her or was this a while back with some "not so iportant" chick?

It means nothing, dude - stop reading into this. When and if you do happen to hang out with this coworker you think she's flirting with - watch the body language/especially the eyes.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
