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.

so im in college in a fraternity and we have these things called date parties you bring a date to and you like go to a bar/club and have a good time. Well one of my friends gfs asks me if i had a date and wanted to get set up at this party. i was like sure. so later in the night she brings this girl out of nowhere has me talk to her. She is chunky as hell! But I don't want to hurt her feelings so i talk to her. Thank god some other guy for some reason starts talking to her.

I go off. Her and the girl's 2 friends come up later tell me this girl is like in love with me and ask me what I think. And i was like ya shes cool.... and shes like is she cute? and im like sure.... and shes like ya? and im like ya.... for some reason these girls couldnt take a godam hint from the tone of my voice. so i go off.

later they call me over to this girl again. and they are like so do you have anything to ask her? And im like uhhhh idk do i? Then i got trapped into saying will you go to the date party with me? and shes like YESS. and in my mind im like NOOOOOOOOO. I don't want to hurt this girls feelings but omg lol. also i dont want to piss off my gfs friend cas she does actually have some cute friends she could hook me up with in the future but she rly ****ed me over on this one lol. Any advice.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

this really isn't good, you should have just told her you wernt interested to begin with.
Your options are either to cancel on it or go but considering this is a date party i presume you will be stuck with her for the entire night?
If i was you i think i would just cancel out but play it so you don't piss ya girl mates off if you think she can sort you out girl wise in the future.

Why on earth did you say you liked her? If my friends ask me if a girl I'm not into is cute, I just say that's ok, but that we're not entirely compatible. Many of us here often hang out with different girls and are quite good at figuring out whether a girl is compatible with us or not.

And well, this one is chunky, but you've spoken to her, so you could have easily shot her down with "We don't have any common interests and life visions, and those are really important for me". Noone's hurt(except the chunky one), and you can still utilize the girls for other victims to prey on.

and if you're looking for a reason to give if they ask what you mean by her not being your type, just say "i prefer more confidence in a woman. someone who doesn't have to send her friends up to me to tell me she likes me and find out if i like her." afterall you said you were in COLLEGE and not 3rd grade, right? i would also NEVER let these "friends" of yours ever try to set you up again. my friends have stuck me with some less then attractive girls, or attempted to and to me it shows me that's what they think i can get, and nothing better. f*ck that. i don't need someones fat ugly friend pawned off on me just because i'm single and looking.
