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.

Hi. I'm kind of confused about how my love life works. If I just meet a girl who has no prior knowledge of me, I can get her to date me really easily and when I break up with them(I know it might sound strange but I normally break up with them.) they always want to date me again, or they say I am their favorite ex.

I still talk to everyone of them and I'm friends with them. If I wanted I could date just about anyone of them again. One of the girls I broke up with, her best friend came up to me and said I was her friends best boy friend ever.

My current girl friend is from Japan and she doesn't understand too much English and she's only staying here for ten months. I'm not bragging. I'm really not. I figure you should know all this to give me an accurate answer.

Now here is the thing I need an answer too. After I've known a woman for awhile. They really don't want to date me. Even if I've hardly ever talked to them. But we've known each other. I would like to know what all this means.

(Also on a completely unrelated topic what's an AFC? I don't really need an answer for this I just want to know.)
 

"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.

Well, I'll answer your last question first. An AFC is an acronym for "Average Frustrated Chump." You sound to be nothing of the sort.

As for your first question, it sounds like some of your longer-lasting female acquaintances aren't judging you for who you are, but rather who you were in the past. A lot of people aren't insightful enough to realize people change, and that's no fault of your own.

But this also applies to women whom I've known for a month.

Well I think it's evidence that the statement women often make, "the best realtionships start out as friends". is BS. It's basically been my experience to that if a realtionship doesn't start out from the time you meet a girl it almost never starts out later after becoming "friends. Also, from your experience it would seem not actually being good to a girl is better to them than being good to them, e.g. you break up with the girl then she says you're the best BF she ever had.

Ok I guess that makes sense. One of my female friends was just saying that it was because I made people feel really comfortable right from the start I have a short time frame to put them into the relationship zone before I get dropped into the 'let's not ruin our friendship' zone.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
