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.

Okay so I potentially might have a new plate...started flirty text here and there. Pulled the number from the bar, she's a mutual friend of a friend, we all went out.

I was preoccupied with work and what not thoughout the week...she actually mentioned we should grab drinks this weekend.

A day or two ago she asked for my picture for her contacts lol more like to show a friend of hers for validation. So I sent her the best pic I had and now she's been texting nonstop.

Any tips on how escalating this weekend? I don't want to not fall into the dating role as she's coming on strong in the "we should do this and that" stuff.
 

"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.

Allow her to keep acting like a needy b*tch. Don't let her pull you into that frame.

Are you actually asking for help escalating? Touch her arm, kiss her, bite her neck, grab her ass, put your **** in her throat. The end.

Escalating to that kind of frame is what I meant

you dont need to over complicate this

shes keen , your keen .....you just need to appear slightly less keen than she is

go for evening drinks , none of this middle of the day sh1t pick a bar which has a nice vibe but isnt too loud you cant hear each other speak , having somewhere to sit is also essential

have 3 maybe 4 drinks over the course of like 2 hours with heavy flirting and touching

then suggest you grab a bottle of ( insert alcoholic beverage of choice ) and head home

the rest is self explanatory
 

"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.

I've always let thing's escalate on their own...it's nature that does all that stuff. I mean, look around you? You think all these people got here, by their parents being concerned about escalating?

I'd be more concerned, about halting any escalation with trash. Run away! Flee!!!

This is not a plate. How many times do we have to go through this here?

Plate = woman you are regularly banging.

You haven't even been on a date with this chick yet.

Chill dude, he said used the word 'potential' beforehand.

OP, just keep doing what you think you should do. You got this bro.

The title of the thread is "New Plate". It's a misleading title. Instead it should be titled random chick I never met who I think is already my girl. SMH at these dudes...

I read pretty well. It would be like me titling a thread "I'm a millionaire" and then talking about how I might be rich cause I bought a lottery ticket.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

i just came out of a 2 year relationship, I'm a little rusty so was looking for some tips. @marmel75 take your rants somewhere else bro, if you don't like the title or what am asking why waste your time to respond? I'll PM you next time what's an appropriate title and if my question on a forum passes your approval.

Anyways, so she came by went out for drinks, kept the kino up and ended coming back to my place. We fooled around, she wouldn't let me have sex with her but got head. Solid night back out there.

Nice work. Don't push her.
She gave you a BJ so next time you'll get the prize. Just be cool.

Trust me, you'd know one my rants if you came across one and this isn't it. If you don't want to bother learning what the terminology means then simply don't use it.
