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.

So I hooked up with a girl I "met online". The first date went well, had a few drinks at her place then at a local pool hall. I kissed her goodnight (on the cheeks) and asked her to call me. She thanked me for the awesome night and said she wanted to see me again. She emailed me that night (half hour after I dropped her off). She asked me if I wanted to see her again (with ?!?!) That was two evenings ago.
I emailed her yesterday morning thanking her for the good time and confirmed I wanted to see her again.

I haven't heard back from her so should I call her or just wait for her to call back? I read somewhere I needed to wait three of four days.

BTW I did most of the work so far in terms of calling her and setting up the date.

Thanks for any help! :cool:
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Kisses on the cheek don't count, which is why she texted you right away asking if you wanted to see her again. She felt rejected by not getting a real kiss. Don't apologize - you're probably too nice already. Just kiss her for real when you see her next time. When a girl does AFC things, that is a good sign. You are making her wonder if you like her, and that is good, but if you don't at least make out next time you see her, then she will get bored very quickly.

Call her tomorrow or the next day and tell her when you want to go out and what you want to do. Make it fun, but fun for you. You plan to have a good time, and she can come along.

arrgh, I saw the above message after I invited her over for supper.

I'm having a hard time "reading her"; she is stone cold!
Last night we keno'ed and got closer on the couch (touching) but she keeps a pillow between us and sits in a defensive way. We did a lot of flirting so hopefully I won't get "tagged as another friend"

I guess that if I get a next chance (which she indicated wanted to see me again) I will make a bolder move and see what happens.

i get confused with the term hooked up. before i took it as french kissing, now i see it used for casually sex, and now its used here as a date? So you only kissed on the cheek right?

my steps are usually date wise

1.) get to know her
2.) steal a kiss on her cheek or leave for date 3
3.) cheek or first kiss
4.) lips

finding ways to increase IL while on every date is the hard part but maybe that's what your missing.

oh well case closed. being nice sucks
Wow did I ever learn a lesson with this fish stick
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
