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.

It seems that everytime I like a girl, I start to become obsessed with her. I don't like keep calling her or stalking her, but I think about her all the time. For example, I would be trying to do my homework but all I keep thinking about is that girl. I know obsession is a mjor turnoff. Can someone give me some tips on how not to be obsessed?

Thanks
 

"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.

Obsessing over any one girl isn't healthy, they're usually not worth it and the more you date the more alike they become. Take each one a day at a time and don't get so worked up.

That's a big problem that I used to have; the best thing to do is get busy.

Find things to do; and work on that confidence. Usually those who lack confidence, cling to one girl because one fears one may not get another chance in a while - it all revolves around that idea.

So, hit the gym - get that confidence up; get a hobby, and excel; etc...

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

i agree with contender, the best way is too do things that take up time therefore your mind is off them. sure, confidence helps a lot too if you pump up your confidence you'll get more women and when you get more women your not thinking of them don't get clingy onto one chick.

Do a variety of things.
Top of the list: Hit the gym

Others include, but not limited to:

Meet other girls, you have all the info here
Learn a language,
Study a bit more
Take up a new sport (Climbing would be my suggestion), surfing, windsurfing, running. Something thats individual, but you are able to noticibly build up.
Read a series of books. Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum for example.
Learn a skill or a musical instrument.

The thing here is to get obessed by something else. I know can't stop learning arabic (I'm not great but I'm still at it), for example, and I throughly recommend anyone to take it up for a laugh, like I did.

Girls will drop out of your mind as soon as you keep busy.

The problem is your focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

dude you should be thinking of ten girls a day at your age.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

yeah I used to/still have that problem. Ever time I meet a girl who shows great interest i just keep thinking about her over and over again adn then because you put her up on a pedestal she doesn't want you anymore and all that other bull that comes with thinking about a girl.. but other than that, when you're consistantly thikning about one girl make sure you make it a personal goal to go find another girl to meet and don't stop until you meet another girl, oh yeah and at times purposely ignore the girl that was on your mind. Small things like this will change your perception of her and you won't be obsessing over one girl.

Best thing you can ever do when a girls gotten inside your head is to grab your cell phone and delete her number. Once you do that you know that even in a moment of weakness you can't screw yourself.

No...no. I think about girls but i dont go delete their number. How the hell does that help? He said he doesnt call her, he only thinks about her. SOOOO if he had more girls he wouldnt have this problem. You guys sure give great advice.:rolleyes:

listen to me. when i saw this chicks picture i almost fell in love with her immediately...she was so dainty and cute and shiit. obviously i had her on a bit of a pedestool (how ever you spell it) so i decided to study her more and find things i DIDNT like. like her small breasts, her strange personality, etc. then i started to think about myself and the stuff i like about myself. after about an hour of mulling it over, i had her lowered in my mind and myself in a higher league, to the point where i felt like i was gonna have to take her in despite her faults. it worked and she was my girlfriend for a while there.

may sound like youre shiiting on someone else to make you feel better about yourself, but it doesnt hurt anyone as long as you keep those observations to yourself. and it does wonders.
