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.

Ok, normally I don't have a problem approching or talking to HB8's or HB9's.
But theres this HB7.5 that for some ****ing reason I can't really get into a good conversation with, theres just something that makes me nervous and throws me off.

I first met her when she came over to my apartment for a party my roommate was throwing back at the end of March. We don't know anything about eachother, other then eachothers names, we never really talked. Three weeks ago I asked my roommate who she was and found out they have class together. Apparently we have a class in the same building at the same time. Now, I've never seen her before her class except for the last two weeks (which just happens to be the two weeks after I asked my roommate about her, coincidence?).

Anyway, both of the times I talked to get I just got nervous and ended up going to class w/o # closing because for some reason I am nervous around her, and only her.

Now, I feel like a pathetic AFC loser because of this, and I need some help overcoming this crap. Someone come punch me in the face and tell me to stop being a pansy.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Yeah you're being dumb because you're probably visualizing the kids, the family van and the summer vacations together already ;).

Either you're really into her for some inexplicable reason or you guys don't have any chemistry. Go with the former and get her to have coffee with you!

Ah, the paradox of being really attracted to a girl (for whatever reason). You like her, but you don't want to treat her different from any other girl you just met. But then there's something different about her, and you put value on her. You wouldn't want to game a chick without high value to you, right? Then you start slipping on your game because you've given her this value.

I can tell when I'm into a girl because I get a little anxious/excited when I'm around her. Nothing I can do about it, it's an emotional response. I suppose the best thing to do is just try to keep your emotions from affecting your game. You can't control how you feel, but you can control how you act. Speak a little more slowly, keep up confident body language, and just go for it like any other chick.

"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.

Where do you live? I have the brass knuckles at the ready ;). But seriously, there's only so much we can tell you. I'd say just do what works well for you in other situations. You have successes to fall back on, so fall back on them. She's just another chick dude, 1 in 3 some odd billion, odds are against you that she's the most special one you'll ever meet.
