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 texted a few of my friends "merry xmas" of which one of them happened to be a chick I've dated in the past. After she responded enthusiastically, I proceeded to ask her out on a date to a movie I wanted to see. It went well as a movie can go such that there's very little communication. Whatever, I wanted to see that movie and I wasn't gonna go by myself. Anyway, the next night while I was at a club dancing with another girl closely I noticed Girl A standing above the dance floor peering down at us. OOPS! I didn't know she was even at the club beforehand. Anyway, I saw her later that evening standing in front of me so I tugged her arm and said "hey". She didn't turn around and just ignored me. I think she's mad. I wanted to ask her out again though. Do you think this would be a good I idea? Maybe wait a couple weeks? Dunno.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Hi Mr wise,

I would ask her out again.
Well, do you think I should wait a while or ask her out soon? I should add that she and her friends thought of me as a "player" in the past. Also, when I was dancing with Girl B, I was holding both her hands in mine. OUCH! I wish she hadn't seen that, but what's done is done. Need damage control here.
