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.

Telling a story IS giving advice

A good story will give advice to your thoughts. It will guide your mind from one dream, to another, sometimes, just by talking a little bit slower.

Some days, the stories you can tell are totally random, but you can get people involved very easily.

Other days, it seems like everybody is pissed off.

What is with storytelling? I can't tell stories worth **** if I actually focus on the subject.

Like women, I used to be good, when I didn't care, but the moment I used to show interest I would be shot down. These days, after learning more, and practicing smart, I have no problems at all with women, seriously, not a single one. Other areas of my life call for action though.

Story telling...

Does anybody tell stories?

Are there routines when you tell a story:p

Are there little ruses that you play that get people more interested?
 

"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.

Really?

So telling a ghost story, without any of the dramatic pauses fvcks up the story instead of adding to it?

I think I missed your point Fransisco:(
