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.

May be hard to believe but, there are quite a few girls interested in me at school, ive said this before, its a good confidence boost too. Anyhow my close friend for 4-5 years is starting to like me, how can i make it obvious to her that im not interested in her?
 

"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.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You dont flirt with her and yet shes coming on to you.

I dunno what to say. Keep giving her the red light and she will stop coming onto you and supress those feelings inside her like normal healthy people do.

"Even if you were the last girl on earth."

Hahah I love that one.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

This emoticon belongs back in your sig HandyAndy. :rock:

It is totally you and I mean this as a compliment. :p

Anyway though if you are really not interested in her and she is not attractive at all just friendzone her like chicks do regularly to their male AFC friends who are interested in them.

Just keep treating her like a friend as others have said and put up stop signs directly or indirectly as she tries to advance on ya. :up:

Isn't it weird and ironic how we spend all this time trying to make ourselves better or be someone else around girls we are attracted to, then girls we are friends with like us.

Wouldn't it be great if we could just be ourselves purely around everyone without any effort?
