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.

I just went on this date... Girl was totally not my type. A bit too much of an AFC (what do we call female AFCs anyway? Gotta change that C to something else.) I could've taken things further than just a pleasant night out. Started with slightly unnatural conversation + kino, but quickly got a decent comfortable vibe. I had a few moments for a kiss (a few! you know the girl isn't too interesting when she gives a few!), but decided there was no need to move any further seeing as she just doesn't click nicely with me.

My question to you:
What you guys think of arranging dates that you KNOW aren't going anywhere, and I don't mean sticking to only going out with girls for LTRs ( we aren't always looking for that ;))... I mean, dates that for whatever reason, you really aren't that interested in?

The pros I see are that I got to use it as an a test ground... I tried telling different stories, made sure my body language and kino was good, and scoped out an area of town for future dates.
The cons? Well, you're leading someone on needlessly and it's a bit of a waste of time.

What do you guys think of "practicing?" I want to know your thoughts, sosuave!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Every date is a "practice" date.

Remember one thing, no matter the outcome, sometimes you win sometimes you learn. Once you have enough under your belt, you'll know what to do in most situations with most type of dates.
