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.

Guys,

Split up with my ex about 6 months ago, we were together 7 years. I asked this woman out from work a couple of weeks back (one that I had been eyeing up for a long time), was nervous as hell but she said yes and we did lunch the following week. Since then we have been out for drinks one night (with others), then ended up in bed together that night ;) Been lots of kissing etc since then, things seem to be going well. She is away at the moment and messages me maybe a couple of times a day, saying she is missing me etc. I think I have been playing it quite well, always being ****y and joking, I think she is well into me. So where am I going with this? Well I am in to her too, she ticks most of my boxes. My concern is that I have not given myself enough time (if any) to become more confident in getting women. What do you reckon?

EDIT: This is the first woman I have dated since my ex by the way
 

"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, the fact that you keep mentioning you Ex in the post tells me that you are still not over her. i say still give it more time man, or else you'll start associating the new girl with the EX, and will start making comparisons

Hmmm, OK. Well, I guess I have made some comparisons in my mind, but they have all been positive. i.e she is a nicer person, more attractive, more of a similar mindset to me. She is an improvement over my ex in every way possible. Is this a bad thing?

i just hope that you arent using her as a gap filler. i mean, i hope you arent using her to get over your EX. if so, those feelings you have for her wont last long. make sure you arent doing this, if you arent, you're in the clear :rockon:

I feel like I am over my ex. I met her a couple of weeks ago, and she was just the same, and she asked if there was any chance of us getting back together, I said no.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I think I now know that should things not work out with this girl and I become single again, although I have not had much experience, I have no doubt that I would get off my arse and go and ask women out.

This chick is all over you man, the question you have to ask yourself is what do you really want?

Good Luck

Sarge On...
I dunno man... Everything is up in the air at the moment, I start a new work position next week, moving out of my flat weekend after next to somewhere temporary whilst I try and buy a flat nearer work (currently live a long way away and commute). When I move down I will be much nearer her, but it will probably take a couple of months to find a place. All I know she is nice, I like her, I'd like to keep seeing her and doing things with her, and continue to get in her knickers ;)
