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.

At the moment i am really angry about the following thing that happened at work today. I work as a teacher on a high school and during the break a few pupils had a chat with me telling out of the blue, without that much emotion, that a female colleague told them i am an alien look alike. I repeated the phrase and asked the pupils (12 year old boys) if they were sure about what they said. Without any doubt they said yes. I believe them...
Normally i do not really care about what colleagues or pupils are thinking of me but it´s really disrespectful that a colleague is saying this to pupils.
This colleague is always friendly and even a pretty woman to see. That makes it more weird beside the fact that it is not a compliment from her side to me. I am gonne question her about this.

How should you react?

ps, it´s not the colleague from a former thread of me.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Not to belittle your emotional state, but who gives a f**k?

It's a juvenile comment. Maybe a joke. Maybe an insult. But not really worthy of more than 5 seconds of thought.

It's like a coworker telling me, "Iceberg, someone says you look like a flamingo." I mean, really, could you see me (an adult male) caring about this?

How should you react?
Your students told you this? Then tell them, "Yeah, I'm from Planet Detention." make them laugh, and move on with your life.

Tell her you've come to eat her brains. She's probably just messing with you anyway, or she's kinda out there herself.
