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 attempted to probe this cute HB at work if she had a boyfriend.

i basically asked her what she did for the Holiday. and i anticipated her saying she was with family etc.. etc.. and also her boyfriend did something nice for her or something along those lines.

and while i got half what i anticipated not once did she mention a boyfriend. now i also didn't ask. "well what did you and your b/f do" normally when you ask a girl with a broad question like that especially when it comes to something like a festive get together 9/10 times the chick brings up a bf if she has one.

so i came to two conclusions.

either she has a b/f and she didn't bring him up because the relationship is going south. or she doesn't have one.

pretty simple conclusions both are in my favor. because this girl when i talk to her has the brightest smile and that i wanna eat you up look in her eye. again in my opinion.

thoughts though. because sometimes at work its hard to differentiate a work flirt from a real flirt.
 

"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.

You don't **** where you eat. The consequences of a relationship that goes south at a workplace are dire! I don't date or even go out with women at work and I am one of two male employees. The rest are female. I pretend to be a nice guy at work ;D

That's good advice, but a lot of people do it.
Work is one of the most common places couples meet, even though it's considered a big taboo here.

If you don't value your job that much: go for it! Keep it out of the workplace though. If you are a total Pro at work, utterly professional in every way, then it's harder for her to make you look bad to everyone else if things don't go her way and she gets dramatic about it....

this. where i work at, there are couples and husband/wives so all this "dont s where you eat" doesnt make sense to me
 

"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.
