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.

I've let a girl get under my skin and it's pissing me off.

There's some interest on her part, but half the time when I get her alone her body language cools right off. The worst news is that I've got an emotion interest in her - which is screwing me right up. Worse still is that the "challenge" means I'm having trouble moving on from her and getting back to the old me.

I've also shunned three 18 year old university/college students in the last week or two because I've been focussed on this one girl. Such a moron.

Please tell me what a spaz I've been, and if you've had such an experience yourself then advice on how I can stop being so dumb would be appreciated. :eek:
 

"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.

You have two options as I see it. Either:
1) Go all crazy and drive off a cliff spazzing out about it, or

2) Set the mood one night, get the perfect movie, cook for her, even make sure the lighting is right. Invite her over (make sure the place is clean). When she gets inside your place, stab her @ss to death. Better her than you, eh? :up:

You have to man up dude.

If you're not getting what you want you just have to grab your balls and force yourself to get over it.

****, cry in a pillow in your bedroom if you have to. Don't let her know that, but do what you have to to move on.

Consider your arse kicked.
 

"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.

Thats spectacular. Can't stop laughing :D :crackup: (And my place is always spotless!)

wjh - that's the advice I've given myself, although I'm not really the crying type. I'll get over it better if I go down to the docks and pick fights with drunk fishermen. If I don't get what I want this weekend, there's stacks of young tail I can let chase me around campus....
