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.

Ok here's the quick background: I'm taking two girls wall climbing (different dates of course!). Girl 1 is accredited, so she can belay me, and so can I... So we both can climb. Girl 2 isn't accredited, so I can belay her, but she can't. I was thinking of making a fun challenge to give an excuse to prolong the date afterward:

Girl 1: There is a wall which has sort of a roof (you climb upside down for about two meters long) so I was thinking of a line similar too: Tell you what... If I succeed this wall (I already did, but she doesn't know that :cool:), when we are down climbing, let's go to the old port and you buy me a b e aver's tail (amazingly delicious pastry :D)... If I don't succeed it, I'll owe you one.

Girl 2: Similar, but since I can't climb, I was thinking of bringing her to a semi-difficult wall (easy grips, but with a steep incline at some point) and I was thinking of a line similar too: If you manage to get all the way to the top, when we're done climbing I'll go and buy you a b e aver's tail (I ****ing love this stuff)... If you can't do it, you buy me one.



Any good making challenges like that? And for girl #1, is it better to put myself in the spotlight, or should I put her in it? (girl #2 I have too, she can't belay me)


HA! b e aver is censored -_-
 

"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.

Well if you must do this date, how about you happen to go past a redbox and say "hey wanna grab a movie?"

Your question is basically how to get these girls back to your place, right?

OR, is it "how to make the date more intimate"? Because if it's the latter, then I just don't see rock climbing as a very intimate date...no matter whether she likes it or not. You want intimacy, do something intimate. How old are you? What kind of setting do you live in? How about a damn walk in the park? How about coming over for a movie in the first place? Which of course leads into, how do you know these girls? Is this social circle game? Is this from a cold approach? Are they comfortable with you already? Lot's of variables here.
