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.

This situation just seems a little odd to me...

So I made plans last night to take a girl I've been seeing for a couple weeks out to dinner tonight for her birthday.

At about noon today she texts me saying: "Ah I decided Id rather just go to a movie tonight with u"

I didn't reply and about thirty minutes later she texted me again saying: "Mm its up to you tho"

I don't know why she wouldn't want to go to dinner with me and it's bothering me a little bit. I really don't want to be a **** and drag her to dinner when she isn't really interested. And I don't want to see a movie because we saw one together on friday, i have no clue why she would want to see another one two days later. Hell, i don't even know how to respond to this...
 

"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.

Its her bday, take her to the god damm movie and quit over analyzing everything. Who ever said women behave rationally? Why are you expecting her to behave rationally?

Just be glad she's not bailing on you to hang with her friends or swinging on another branch.

Have you made a move yet? Because, that's probably what she's waiting for.

lol, I've made plenty of moves and nearly all of them have been well received.

It's not the fact that she changed the plans, but that she wants to see a movie again, two days after we just saw one. I'm almost picking up a vibe that she is trying to get out of hanging out at all tonight...

"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.

at our house
perhaps she likes to keep low key on her birthday without any waiter coming over to sing some lame happy birthday song.
she really seems to have high interest, as she is getting in touch with you now trying to go cuddle up at a movie.
let us know how it goes:)
