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.

Hello again,
I thought it would be wise to get advice before I screw stuff up. So herrrrrre weeee go.

So there is a girl I have seen on and off for about a year at the supermarket checkout line. I am not sure how to figure out if she is fake nice or nice. I have stared and smiled at her while I we are talking and she seems kewl with it. When I say bye to her she usually gives me akward goodbyes. She is a pretty bubbly person so I am not sure what kind of test I need to throw out to see what her interest level is.
We have only talked about her schooling and blah blah. I try to make some jokes but most of the time my mind goes blank--still and idiot under fire.

Thanks for any advice before I screw this one up.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I replied to your other post...related looks like.

First, screw what up? I would say, avoid thinking like that, because all that does is put unnecessary pressure on yourself. And you can help avoid this by keeping from asking her questions that hint at you wanting her but rather asking her questions that get her hinting at you being a challenge and the prize.

Lot's of guys take rejection bad because they set themselves up to take it personally.

A year? You already screwed up if you waited a year.

Guys, if you meet a girl and you don't get SERIOUS interest RIGHT AWAY (i.e., a compliment, a touch, serious eye contact, a date, a kiss), move on. When you look at a woman you are experiencing her reaction to you. If it's not what you want, change the woman or change yourself.
 

"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.

Fact is she already said no and 'inappropriate' to you. A skilled DJ can use that to his advantage. I do, however, feel you are chasing your tail here TB. Don't run in circles to chase what doesn't have a reason to catch.

That is to say, you have fancied this girl, because for a year you have been thinking about HOW to GET her and the chase has you hooked...usually we want this the other way around with girls ;)
