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.

Sometimes being too layed back about things can really hold you back.

Dumb me assuming tickets to my semi-formal would be on sale a week before, i went to buy them today, only to find out there arent selling them anymore. :confused: :eek: :mad:

then i realized how many single girls were going :eek:

any ideas on what to do!? i am missing out on a easy chance to dj tons of girls.

Atleast i am throwing the afterparty, any ideas on how to play that? Should i still dress up? lol

any advice djs?
 

"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.

You're not missing out, unless your semiformal is different from mine. Here it was about a month ago, and it sucked hard. The food was crap - can't believe I paid 25 bucks for that. The dance ticket cost only $5 - the only money I needed to pay to have a good time.

As for the afterparty, don't dress up. Just don't. A part of being 'formal' or semi'formal' is restraining yourself, agreeing to the socalled 'norms'. Harder to have fun that way. So don't try to go for the sophisticated theme, since no one in hi school is sophisticated enough to enjoy it. I know I wouldn't, even though I took part in way too many formal events.

Yeah, don't dress up, but look nice. You don't want to look too out of place. Just wear a button down shirt and some khakis or something like that.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
