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.

When that "special" girl just doesn't...

I'm feeling a little depressed right now. I've been greatly improving my "macking" skills, partly in thanks to the tips on this board. To girls I've never seen before, I can flirt with them and get them to like me pretty easily. The thing is, though, unless I see this girl who LEGITIMATELY want to go out with (hb 8 or above), I don't want to ask them out. Also, there's this girl at my school who I've had a crush on for a few months now...before, I think you could call it "one-itis." Now that I've brushed up on my skills, though, and I'm not afraid to mack on other girls, I think of her now as just "special." I don't know if that makes sense, or if that should happen to a "DJ." I just know that no matter what I do, I feel a strong attraction for this girl. She's not exactly HOT but she's cute and smart and all that good stuff.

But...she thinks of me as a "friend." When asked (not by me) if she could see herself going out with me, she said "I don't know....maybe...." When asked if I was cute, she said, "I guess....."

It should also be mentioned that she used to have a crush on me (last year) but I wasn't in to her. Now I think she's something really special. It hurts that no matter what I do, I can't get out of that friend zone....I'm attracted to other girls but she's really at the TOP of my list.

I'm sorry if I'm an AFC but that's just the way I'm feeling. My question is, where do I go from here?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

am I the only one who thinks this is ******** for "I like him a lot...but I'm not going to just tell that to everybody because he only thinks of me as a friend."

Ask her out.

oopps. lol

that changes alot

yes, she likes you. yes, she would go out with you. but theres this little issue of the 6'1 280 lb bag of muscle she's undoubtably dating ;)

it mostly depends on how much she likes her boyfriend. if she really does like him, your chances are slim. if she likes him a little less then alot, then just play her up and she'll get closer. if she ever says anything implying that she likes you, just point out that her boyfriend is obviously getting in the way of her uncontrollable love for you ;)

good luck
 

"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.

Guys, guys, guys..


Where has everyone's morals gone? Don't mess with the girl if she has a boyfriend. I mean geez, you wouldn't want some chump coming along calling your girlfriend every time of the day, trying to steal her from you now would you? I mean it's different if she's is about to or already has broken up with the guy, but if she's in a serious relationship with someone, don't mess with it. Let it be. There are TONS and I mean TONS of other available girls out there. Try your luck elsewhere. The only reason you're having these feelings right now is because you regret not asking her out when you had the chance; When she was actually into you.
