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 have a female friend that said when she went out on a a date with a guy, a walk around the park. I think it was on a Friday night. At the end of that date, he asked her if she wanted to do Sunday brunch with.

Now, even though she had time and nothing else better to do that weekend, she purposely refused to do it on Sunday, because she thought it was "too soon" between the first date (Friday) and Sunday.

I was like "Huh? Why?!" She said she likes to give dating intervals some time between dates because otherwise it's moving too fast (for her.)

I rolled my eyes, and said, "Cripes, no wonder you're still single. lol" (She's in her 50s, never married, no kids).
 

"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.

agreed. she has some issues.

She has a man who enjoys her company enough to try and set a second date bfore the first ends. Furthermore, he really enjoys her company so much that he wants to see her in a matter of days. And she says no? She's lost men because, during that prescribed dating interval down time, these fellas are finding, pursuing and bedding other options who value a mans interest.

Ask her if she wants a cat for her birthday :)

A guy who is spinning plates and has options will see this as lack of interest and next her.

Tell her to quit playing stupid games. You coined it perfectly "no wonder you are still single."
