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 joined this site quite a while back, and i believe that ultimately, ss has helped me to become a more fun and positive person, which is to say, a better personality.
At this point, i can talk to girls perfectly fine, except for the girl i want the most. With other girls, i can hold a conversation for an hour if i want (i dont >.>) but with the girl i would ideally like to get, things get awkward fast.
It sucks: the girl i used to really be going for never really showed any interest, and now that i don't really give a shlt about her anymore and i've loosened up, she all of sudden is aggressively pursuing me.

Dammit. What am i doing wrong?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Well, with the other girl, its like i wouldn't mind hooking up with her or something, but she's really not who i'm after. The girl i'm after is just a failurific situation.

I've been in this situation.

You'll find the fact, the girl you used to fancy knew it.. and now you've lost interest in her she wants you attention again.. that doesnt mean she wants YOU though, just your attention. Why? cos girls crave it.

In prove. Still flirt with her but learn from what you did wrong with her. But go for the girl you really like.

Dont kid yourself.

I think the worst part about people feeling "awkward" is it's like .. a chain effect. If YOU feel awkward it's damn sure SHE will too. Except here's the thing: you two are just talking. What's there to be awkward about? Conversations have normal pauses in them. Think about it this way, if you were talking to a guy friend and there was a pause, is that awkward? No, it's not.

Also, most times guys that get this feeling amplify it by themselves. What I mean by this is that they are actually doing fine and the girl feels comfortable for the time being, but the guy's mind begins to wonder and he starts feeling awkward when everything is fine.

Bottom line is don't over analyze things. Just go with the flow and be fun.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
