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.

Right before I left home for college, I went on a date with this girl who is staying in the same city for school. The date went well (not THAT well ;) ) but she is definitely into me.

Anyway, that was about 3 weeks ago. I won't be back home until December, so my question is:

Should I call her at all? Obviously, it would have to be just to talk, since I can't set anything up with 350 miles in between us. She doesn't get texts on her phone, she doesn't have facebook, I don't have her email address, anything! I don't really like doing the whole phone thing, but is it better than having no contact at all?
 

"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.

Girls talk to each other. When guys talk to girl, they become their girl friends. That's why usually army dudes away on a mission that talk to their girls come back to a girl who's sleeping with another guy.

You're clinging on to this one girl? I thought you said you were in college. Pardon me, but aren't there girls all around you?

I never said I'm clinging to this girl. I didn't even think about her until a couple of minutes before I posted that. It's not a big deal, I'm just wondering which would be better.

Don't call her at all. Give her a call when you come back, and invite her to "catch up". Then pull some slick moves :)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
