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.

Nah it wasnt bad. But i did get turned down.

This chick at work always flirts with me and **** always touching me and getting right up in my face to talk and staring into my eyes n ****.

Shes got her little nickname for me, gringo or some **** lal, but so my buddy sees her flirting with me and hes like "dude, get her ****ing number so we can double date". I was like ok will do...so...

I come up to her and im like.
Me- What do you guys do for fun in Monteray (where she lives)
Her- Oh we drink and smoke some weed, and play sega and old school nintendo blah blah blah
Me - Oh cool, were gonna have to hang out, but im not smoking weed, so no peer pressure.
Her- Ok, but (something about i cant get with her because she has a boyfriend)
Me- Oh no if i was going to ask you out i would have already done it (lying my ass off obviously but i WANTED to say "Whats ur ****ing point"...but didnt.
Her- Ok just making sure. (as i was walking off)

I suck. The end.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Dude, no good here. Translation: "When we hang out, I'm not going to do what you do and I don't want you to force me to do something either" She hasn't even given the green light to ask her, and you're already implying you will get together.

What you should have said:

"I enjoy Sega too. Perhaps we could get together and talk about it some more over coffee?"


Her- Ok, but (something about i cant get with her because she has a boyfriend)
Me- Oh no if i was going to ask you out i would have already done it (lying my ass off obviously but i WANTED to say "Whats ur ****ing point"...but didnt.

Translation: I asked you out and assumed you already said yes, but since you shot me down and told me had a bf, I'm quickly backtracking to make sure I don't look like a fool in front of you.

What you should have said:

"Oh that's too bad, I would have loved to get to know you better. Well, maybe some other time, some other place."


Her- Ok just making sure. (as i was walking off)

I suck. The end.
You didn't make her feel important and wanted in the conversation. You made it feel like you just wanted to smoke weed, play games, and screw her brains out. Granted, even if you were like James Bond she would still have had a boyfriend, but she would have been thinking about you alot more after you left.

Props for trying.

I told her i dont smoke weed, and (didnt tell her but) i hate the **** outta sega. Screw her, yes.

Thx for the advice, ill keep that in mind for next time :yes:

Come to think of it she seemed kinda sad after i left (like all mopey and sad like her puppy died) , i think i made her feel bad but later i cracked a few jokes and made her smile so hopefully i didnt hurt her little feelings (im a ****...)
 

"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.

:crackup: lol are you being serious there? Ok, i don't agree with asking a girl to get together and discuss sega over COFFEE lol. I think that's an ideal time to be playful and challenging.

"I enjoy sega too, i bet i'd kick ur ass at sonic." with a sly smile

Yep, challenging, ****y, playful..

You did the right thing by asking her out. You did what you had to do.

Props for trying.

I hate to put u on blast partna' but if your story really is what u say it is and you said the things u claim to have said than 1) u didn't do anything wrong and this girl is f---ing geek who is not worth your time. Or 2) You're living in a fantasy world and need a new hobbie because the probability of an HB being interested in old school sega or nintendo has about the same odds as...use your imagination.
I'm by no means an expert but encouraging your fantasies r not going 2 do u any good!!

Never, ever suggest to hang out with a girl. NEVER. You asked for that rejection bro. Suggesting to hang out sometime is 9 out of 10 followed by some variant of "I have a boyfriend."

I do give you props for trying.

BTW, DonJuan11 gave you the answer to your situation.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

If your suggeseting im lying im not, thats exactly what hapend almost word for word, ( my memory is not perfect ) .

She is prolly at 3/5 on my richter scale. Not perfect by any means but not ugly either.

So take ur "hatorade" and "drop that **** like its hot" cuz the "**** be annoying dawgz".

Agreed.

And I do not agree with "talking over coffee" but DonJuan11's response was perfect. instead of talking over coffee I would have arranged a time to meet up and actually _play_ sega with her
