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.

So about a month after I got my act together (joining this site, getting new wardrobe and haircut, changing my attitute), I've had a few experiances.

I briefly dated an hb7..but really screwed up on a few occasions and I believe she has lost interest. Don't blame her, my fault, I moved on without a batting an eyelash.

Then there was a chick who is basically HB10 - an actual model - who seemed interested in me, giving a lot of hints... but honestly she is dumb as ****..and also I did what no DJ should do - I told myself I wasn't good enough for her, and just because of her looks too. I'm still insecure in myself, I need to work on that.

Then came the first time I got to reject! It's interesting finally being on the other end of the table. She's a nice girl, but simply too, well, wholesome for me..

Okay now here is where the next girl comes in. HB9, really cute girl..well I think she's sort of noticed me since my little transformation, possibly checking me out a couple times..Never really paid much attention until I started talking to her more, and right away we sort of got into a really funny flow of conversation and one thing led to another and she actually pulled kino on ME. It's usually a good sign if they use it on YOU first, right?

So I've been sort of gaming for a couple days, but I'm afraid. I feel like I'm slipping because she makes me nervous. I'm pretty witty, but if I'm nervous I say the stupidest things...I'm afraid she is going to just ljbf me if I don't tighten up on that front..

Anyways, going out with her tomorrow - not sure what we are dong yet, but whatever it is we do I'm really afraid she's going to make me too nervous..I still have it in my mind that I am not the prize..I was able to do it with a the first and third girl I mentioned no problem, but when I'm out with someone of pretty high caliber I can't help but feel like I am the one who is being judged and SHE is the selector. This is my biggest problem.

What would you say is the best advice for me to solve this issue with her - or any girl really. I know I need to see myself as the prize, but with a really nice girl like that it's really hard to just 'do it'...What do you guys say?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Don't rate girls on the number scale unless you view yourself as a 9 or higher.

Changing is difficult, but it gets easier, trust me. Just a tip from first hand experience... Don't lose your desire to keep improving, i got stuck in a rut last year because i got complacent.

Or... just do the 0-1 scale.

0 being you wouldn't **** her
1 being you would.

Forget who made this up, but props.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
