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.

I consider myself to be pretty good with girls. Confidence is no issue for me, and recently my fear of approaching chicks has evaporated. Lately, I've met a tonne of women. I've got a list of phone numbers on my bulletin board of good looking girls to call. But for some reason, I still don't get dates. I know the numbers are real- that isn't an issue.

The last couple girls i've phoned to set stuff up with have agreed to meet up with me, and then either don't show up or they flake out on me. Obviously, I next them right away, but do you guys have any good tips for the first phone call to increase their interest?

More info: I have been setting up either coffee dates or inviting them to my place to watch a movie. I'm 18. About half the numbers i get are in clubs. The other half come from whereever (mall, class, gym, etc.).
 

"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.

Welcome to the true world of dating. Yes, it does happen alot. It's during that first meeting when the girl will know if she'll really want to hang out with you or not.

It's easy to get numbers. But you have to build up enough attraction during that first meeting so she'll be looking forward to seeing you again.

Obviously you're right. But in the meantime, I've got all these beutiful girls, and even if I didn't drop perfect game on perfect meeting, I must still be able to salvage it. Regardless of how much they want to hang out with me, there must be better ways to talk on the phone then others. And even if I do really well on the first meeting, it can't hurt to be better on the phone.

inviting them to your place might be a bit much for some girls on the first date....coffee sounds better

You have to spend more time with them during that first meeting. Try to get them to do something with you right away. Like at a club meet them, talk for awhile, try to get them to come grab a bite to eat with you or go to another club, etc. That way they'll be more used to you and when you call up you're not just that stranger that asked for her number, you're the cool guy she hung out with that night.
 

"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.

Thats a good idea. I usually only talk to them for about 5 minutes. I'd still like to salvage some of the current ones (i've got some 10s...)

You should probably not go for the "date" quite yet. especially if you met them at a club, invite them and their friends to meet you and your friends there.

once you are comfortable with each other, and you have good conversation on the phone, then you can try to get a date.

A lot of girls give out their real phone number and still have no interest in seeing you again when you call them. Improve your skills and play the field more.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
