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.

I was thinking, would that line be a good one for a closure?

Could it simply be a...


"hey what's up i'm so and so, where do you go to school (blah blah), what do you do (blah blah), what are your dreams (blah blah)"

Which is then followed by a hey look i've gotta run, we're probably not gonna see each other again so write down your number for me so we can keep in touch.

is that a good close? exactly the way I typed it. In particular is the "we're probably not gonna see each other again" saying a good one?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I never saw you before and I probably will never see you again, unless you are willing to give me your number?

hmm interesting, but don't you think it might just come off a tad bit desperate there, not too much, but a tad bit. i don't know, you know more than me in this.

I don't really care for it. If you weren't going to see each other, why waste time calling her, she will probably wonder that. If she has anything on the ball she will know that it's just a line.

I'm usually direct. "Give me your number, I want to see you again."
 

"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.

Take out 'are willing to' ...

And say it with a slight smile.
