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.

Now I am confused

There's no need to ignore her, just don't pay attention to her.

Trying to ignore her is just going to make the whole thing more and more awkward. The best thing to do is not consciously ignore her, but focus your attention on something/someone else instead. And if you do see her, just treat her like a stranger.

Easier said than done? Not really.

I didn't think i'd see it here, but you're basically me a year and a half ago. Let's just say, i'm glad i'm not that person any more.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

ok - I meant more what you said "focusing your attention elsewhere" than ignoring her...my wording wasn't exactly right.

I saw her (with eye contact) and was thinking "d'oh!" It was inevitable that we would have to acknowledge each other, or else it would have looked pretty bad in front of some other people, even if I was trying to "ignore" her.
You were trying to ignore her.

Stop making excuses.

Move on.

Stop being an AFC.

Kthx.

I think we JUST went over this - I had mis-worded my intention on this post. You said 2 posts ago that I had said ignored. What I SHOULD have said was "trying to treat her just like any other person."

And I betr you get every girl too Synapsys, right? Right?

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Hey, don't start insulting me. "Ignore" is so completely different to "Trying to treat her just like any other person" that I think you're just going into damage control.

For the last time, stop posting about this girl. The next post you make had better be a field report, otherwise the whole board will think you're lame as all hell.

Now go out and start being awesome :)

I was able to break the awkwardness, so that's good. We talked about colleges before the football game Friday (I was announcing again, as usual) and we talked a little in class today. I did show her, along with many other people the large red scapes on my back for taking a nasty spill on the track today in the 60-meter dash for gym (I lost balance cuz I was leaning foward a little too much for the speed I was going at, flipped over 3 times, landed square on my back and everyone thought I was real hurt after the flips, but I felt/was fine). Not to worry, the girl didn't see my actually fall. At least everyone "oooed" and "ahhed" at the scrapes lol. For the girls, I preferred to call them "battle scars."

So pretty much, I still talk to the girl and things are alright. There doesn't seem to really be any awkwardness anymore and things are back to normal. However, I am scouting the scene for other girls...

just bumping in case anyone wanted to read it. I know Bluelemond asked for an update on this.

As I metioned in this "update", the awkardness is gone and everything is going fine. I found out today I make it into some program (VAASA) that she made last year, so I can talk to her about that and we will have to go to meetings and all that.

I'm still looking for some other girls to "get to know better." I already have Senior Prom (which is in June) in my mind...
