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.

Okay so I had a very lesson re thought to myself today.

Sunday:My friend calls me tells me I should go out with one of her friends shes 16 I'm 18 I don't date younger girls but she said she is very mature. I'm like okay what the hell I'll give it a shot wrong.

So we talk for the whole week blah blah blah hang out on Thursday talk for a bit and just make out. First thought no chemistry..she is a horrible kisser. Note that I added her on facebook and has noticed she did not change her profile picture for a month. What girl does this a girl who has gained weight. So Friday comes we are supposed to go to the movies she flakes out saying she has to babysit okay she tell me 3 hours before making me miss the yankee met game on that same day.

So I get free tickets for todays game Sunday. My dad is very sick and can't make it so last minute I ask her to come. First thing I noticed is that she did not shave BIG turnoff. Was staring at that thing like it was that guy with the mole in Austin Powers. Second she's texting the entire world while she's with me I tell her to put it away she does not.

So I get home tell her things aren't working out she goes it's okay I still like my ex anyways. Her ex is 19 in college with a ******** of hot ass and is crying for her back. This I do not understand what a weak man crying for a woman who's not worth squat. She's completely boring(I learned this today) had a bad feeling from the start and went against it. Never go against your gut feeling it is always right. I expect her to text me within the next week after realizing what a loser her ex is. Just felt like posting this much thanks if you read through this lol.
 

"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.

Definitely listen to your gut. But understand that your "gut" doesn't usually "scream" or "yell" its advice, unless you are in grave danger. Most times, it's more like a whisper. So to the inexperienced person, it can SEEM like a random thought or feeling of low importance. That's why it is easy to blow off the advice of your "gut.". But you do so at your own peril.

With experience, you know the difference between solid "gut" feeling or advice that should be heeded versus the bs chatter in your head that should be ignored.

But like the OP, we have all had situations where we knew the advice of our "gut" and didn't listen to it.
