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.

contacted via facebook: She stated, I saw you roll by my house yesterday, Why you stalking me?
give it up ;-(
She lives on a busy street, I was shopping on the same street she lives and took that street on my way home. She was driving perpendicular to the street. Live approximately 10 minutes away from her. What should I say to her? She probably thinks I was going out of my way to take her street. lie, tell some story, truth?
 

"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.

Why would you feel the need to explain anything? Stuff like that is best ignored. Delete her from your friends, block her from contacting you, and move on. You stand to gain nothing by explaining yourself or apologizing.

She is making accusations, but why would it matter to you? They are obviously unfounded. If someone did that to me, I'd cut them off completely and look for someone less complicated - no questions asked, no explanations needed.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

This is why i hate texting, IMs, email, etc. Sarcasm and jokes can be misinterpreted all too easily. Since you didn't mention your relationship with this girl, I would read this as playful negging. Why? The winking asciii at the end and the fact that she ASKED Why you were (ie. Do you like me?).
She knows you weren't stalking her.... but.... SHE noticed you and took the time to contact you!

I would play this as a joke and tease her back....

If she really thinks you were stalking her, she will reply with... "Leave me alone", or won't respond at all.

you know what? I think you're right Rook. If a girl really thought you were stalking her she would make it clear. This message seems like a neg on you. Just joke around back like Rook said. If she's not receptive then I guess she really did want you to give up.:crackup:

I think that Rook is right, that she might be teasing. Like Rook said, reply to her, teasingly, and see how she responds. If, like Rook said, says "Leave me alone!", then you know she doesn't like you, and you haven't lost anything. So, go for it, dude!

"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.

****y and Funny is my advice
Something along the lines of:

Are you really that needy that you have to accuse people of stalking you? Or am I just THAT good looking? ( Only in Person and only if you can *handle* it.)

I Was stalking you? I was pretty sure you watched me all the time when i was shopping ( I would prefer this one )

"Stalking you? Sorry babe, I was just trying to beat the paparazzi." Said very sarcastically. Freakin' attention *****s think the whole universe revolves around them...
Actually a very good one it shows that you are masculine but on the other side you also put her on a podest dont you?
I dont know if by saying something like this, even in a veeeery sarcastic tone, you make her the desirable prize when in fact you should be

Is she joking? If you make something serious out of it, then you've only confirmed what she's thinking.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

just ignore it. don't reply. don't delete. don't do anything. just ignore. unaffected.
 

"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.
