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.

Been DJing this girl hardcore for the last month or so.

She texts me today: "I think we need to evaluate where we stand."

I reply with "I agree. We really should figure out a date for our wedding instead of just talking about it ;-)" (We joke about being "married" all the time)

Her reply: "Lol. Nevermind"

This completely confused me. Any ideas about what to do from here? She seems to be interested, we have gone out a few times etc. What do I do?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Butt text her an tell her you were kidding, and ask her if she would like to come over for a bit, so you can talk to her in person.

Work from there.

Get her in person to talk so you can see what she wants to talk about.

Didn't get a chance to see her today. Should I still bring it up tomorrow, or just drop it for now?

Sounded like:
"Lol nevemind... i know where we stand [now that you said that]"

dont get all afraid and say your kidding... unless she was totally hurt from that... cuz gee, that would definitely hurt her feelings :rolleyes:. no biggie, saying that youre kidding doesnt make a big difference, so don't bother.

i might be late... but next time you see her... just be like:
"so you wanted to talk about something? i didn't want to talk about something serious... about us... through text messaging... blah blah blah."

a lil pause where the "..."s are... dunno lol i had it visioned in my head perfectly.

So if she likes you... the words serious and us were in the same sentence... she might pick up on it subconsciously and react positively.

or theres always the vice-versa of that.
 

"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.

"Its hard to consider where we stand when I am always giving you a piggy-back ride! OINK!" - A sure way to make her feel fat and appreciated.

lesson one: you are not funny. quit being silly. that is why girls want older guys. even if she normally laughs at your jokes, don't think she actually thinks you are funny. i have yet to meet a funny person in real life. i doubt if you would be the first.

Define funny
 

"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.

Forget about the where we stand stuff.

Make her guess, keep her on her toes, NEVER be PREDICTABLE.

Women dig UNPREDICTABILITY.

Even if you want a LTR, if play it right, she won't want to look at another guy, you'll have your LTR, and still keep her on her toes.

Every now and then drop lines indictating only friendship, something simple eg "You are such a good/lousy friend".

Then, when you get the chance, spend some quality alone time, etc...

Make her go nuts over you.
