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 can basically get any girl I want in high school, except I have this one problem. There is this one girl, and I don't know why, but everytime I am near her I feel like an AFC again. I dont understand it! She's not even that hot, more like an 8 out of 10. Its so weird because I have gotten with much, much hotter girls than her. Anyone have any advice about what to do? I've been reading all the old stuff that I read a while back, and have since haven't really had too much use for because my game has been very good, but it hasn't helped too much.
 

"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.

Whatever it is about her needs to be disarmed and trivialized. It's as simple as that. Okay it's not as simple in practice. I hit on girls and get with them, but this one is off limits (has a bf); however there's something about her that drives me wild, and it is very difficult to treat her as a platonic friend when my natural sexual inclinations are telling me to act differently.

In your case, what is it about her that attracts you? Is it something that can be looked at objectively or compared to with other girls?

Whats driving you wild is the old adage "We all want what we can't have".

If the girl were suddenly single you'd probably lose interest or a great deal of interest in her.

As for you NYKfan0303 we need A LOT more information than you've given us thus far my friend.

What qualities or behavior does this girl have/exhibit that other girls don't.

Most people in response to this question would say they don't know but that is only because most people don't take the time to think!

So think hard bro!!

Does it seem she understands you better, acts more feminine, is cooler, has a certain style about her, think what it could be that puts you over the moon for this babe and then get back to us with it.

In response KontrollerX, I've been thinking very hard as to what it is that makes her different. It's not that she has a boyfriend or stands out physically from other girls, but it's this sort of magnetic persona that she displays, which makes her stand out in some subtle way, that I, unfortunately picked up on. Its quite unusual, as I never feel this with other women, and it leaves me feeling like an AFC again. As soon as I start flirting and such with other women, the feeling is no longer there and I'm easily able to pull numbers, etc. It is the weirdest, most odd thing that has happened to me. Luckily though, I haven't talked to her YET, although I have caught her looking at me a few times, because I'm afraid I'll blow it until I get my head straight. I've been re-reading material like rigoriously, just trying to fix this problem. It has been helping a decent amount, but I still have much progress to make, until I'm back to normal around this girl.
 

"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.
