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.

Imagine sitting at home, watching the game (or tape of the game, since it's the off-season), when the phone suddenly rings. Who is it? A telemarketer? A friend? Family member? No one is around to answer it. Do you just let it ring? Let the machine get it? Or do you go and pick it up? Are you afraid when it rings? Are you afraid when it stops ringing, for one reason or another?

Think and answer...You'll know why (and who it is) shortly.
 

"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.

Fotunately or unfortunately to this question, I have caller ID so I know whether or not I want to answer it. But if I didn't, depends if it is the house phone or my cell. My cell I almost always answer and my hous phone I rarely answer (since people that call for me know to call my cell).

I would answer it. If i was afraid, i would still answer it. Got to take risks in life, no matter how mundane the task. Plus there's just something about a ringing phone, it has to be answered. :cool:

Hey 'crazy kid', when you get older are you going to change your name to 'crazy man' - it just won't have the same ring to it with the ladies...they'll point their finger at you and say, "Hey, there goes crazy man" :D
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

A girl called me during the Seton Hall bball game the other night and i hung up on her...The Hall is way too important to not watch it for a girl.

No, I shall forever remain "Crazykid." That, plus someone already took the name I believe.

eh, I wouldn't answer it, then I would check the caller id and if it happened to be a girl that was worth my time, then Id call her back.
