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.

a few months ago i hit it off with this hb 8 who is also a very nice person, definite high interest level from her, it was quite nice also, but as time passed she said she was disgusted with me for drinking and smoking and swearing, none of which she does.

i only drink at restaurants, smoke rarely, and swear only if i am extremely angry, natrually, i became a little indignant with her, and said, "sweetheart, i appreciate you telling me this, but i am perfectly satisfied with myself, i have nothing to prove to you."

she got silent and i drove her home, after that none of us have contacted each other, i ignore her mostly now, nothing more than a smile.

then i started going out more and getting ready for university, met a lot of girls, and some of them are definitely interested in me, but it seems i don't have the drive or energy to pursue them anymore--im not afraid, just complacent, i just treat girls like guys now, with no agenda.

i still work out and study with the same energy. just that i don't have much drive when i meet new girls.

any ideas why this is happenin?
 

"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.

Of course you have no drive for chicks....

Coz your gay!!! (think about it... your not far off)

You should have known that anything negative a chick says is most likely to be a $hit test and you just failed... Anyway, your self confidence has taken quite a hit, so naturally you're acting gayish!!

Put this episode behind you and next time, just let her **** testing slide...

No one ever said that you have to sarge all of the time. Continue focusing on yourself, doing whatever you want to do and doing it for yourself. More than likely you'll jump back into things once you come across a woman who's different from the rest. But you'll have to be cognizant of exactly what is different.
