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.

but too early to see yet.

Went on a date with a girl I met online. Getting on OK but things were not going all that well. She said I was different from what she was expecting (personality wise) and she didn't feel that spark as she put it.

Its funny though that as she was explaining to me that she doesn't know if there was a connection between us. I don't know what I said but I knew I had to do something so I agreed with her and said we'll see what happens and I might like to see her again if shes a good girl! When i said this she said "see your confusing me now" leaned over and kissed me.

After that she talked about meeting up again etc. I said "we'll see" and she gave me a playfull punch in the arm. When saying goodbye we kissed again for over a minute.

Next morning I sent her a text saying something like "text you later, I'll have a think about if we should meet again but i think I'd like to ;)". About 1 min later she replied with a positive text message. She usually takes about 20 min before the date to respond to a text so thats a positive.

WARNING: I drank alot on the date and totally forgot about everything I've being learning. I was acting AFC (old habits) and it was only when I sensed things not going too well did I change my behaviour.
 

"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.

Well, it was a learning experience, look on it as such.

You've learned not to be an AFC and not to drink on a first date (which I'm attributing to nerves, otherwise you're a fool ;p)

My only tip would to be spare with the texts, it's a sure way to be a great friend to a girl. I wouldn't send "a text about a text".

Anybody think I saved the day or am I fooling myself? She had a bit to drink too.

Yeah a lesson learned alright. Never have more than a few drinks.
