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.

Just curious. You start to get involved with a girl, and she tells you in months time she'll be moving away. But it doesn't seem to add up...she won't leave you alone, is qualifying herself to you, always wants to know what you're up to, gives you every buying signal possible... Would a chick put it on the line like that?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

LOL. Not ready for anything like that. This chick is still testing my branch.

SteakAndRice's answer is the most logical and likely reset and I agree with it.

I'd wager an AW that was moving away would do this to a guy too for some last minute attention seeking and validation but you know their kind well so it can't be one of them.

She's not an AW. I've know her for almost a year now, she had a boyfriend so I held back, kept her coming after me, coming after me, you know the drill. We've been doing that whole branch testing dance thing.

A few weeks ago she said out of the blue she was planning to move back to another city in this state, where she went to school to pursue her music career (we're both into that). I didn't really say much about it.

Then last week she tells me she's going to break up with the bf (offers all this info to me, I've never even discussed him with her), move into a new apartment. Oh yeah she's ALSO going to move to the other side of the world in a few months. And I'm like well I guess you're at that age where you can pick up and move on (she's 24, been with this guy for four years) and she's like you can too, you have no wife or children here. You're better than this place (we work together) etc.

At this point she's all over me, and I made maybe the mistake of telling her that I was interested in her. Probably walked right into it. No sort of closing yet.

And I'm like all this has been building up for her to just move away on a whim? Yeah, obviously I really like this girl. But what's the sense in taking something further if she's just going to split. She's still living with this guy. For awhile. Or maybe longer. I don't know. Supposedly she's in the new apartment in a week or so.

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a little confused here.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Have you ****ed? Do you have a sexual relationship?

No. She's not available. May be becoming available.

This is what they told us in high school about class selection. If you have a friend who wants to take French as a language and you decide to take French as well just to be in the same class as your friend but don't really have any interest in French and your friend develops a passion for French and wants to study French culture/language in Paris and you decide to tag along, well..., who's life are you living? Somewhat of a similar analogy to yours.

So I'll give you some of the same advice you gave me. Do what YOU want. Follow your passions. Don't live her life. Now suppose you have the same passions, dreams, and goals. Do you really know her well enough to pack up and change your current life, unlike her boyfriend of 4 years, that seems more appropiate? May sound fun, adventurous, and hey, some risks pay great rewards. But do you trust her?


If there was any hesitation to the trust question I wouldn't be so hasty as to run off. Give it some time, think about it, collect some new information which should help you make a decison

What it all boils down to is doing what you want, doing what feels "right" inside, doing what your gut feels.

Keep us up to date.

Thanks aussie. Of course I wouldn't move to a different country for a girl. The other city she mentioned, probably, but it would be because I want to move to big city anyway. But that's like, a hell of a ways off.

She moved here a year ago to follow him from that city. I think she wants to move back. I don't really believe she's moving to another country. It just doesn't add up... it seems like some kind of test.

In ANY case, yes I'm going to do what's right for me. Thanks for the reminder.

Well, if there are better job options, opportunities to advance your life, or whatever in a big city with what it will have to offer, go for it, do it for yourself.

Yeah, the girl should just be an extra benefit to moving to the city.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
