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.

Met this girl in freshman year of college. We would talk late on the phone for hours at a time, almost nightly. Went out a few times, but nothing major spurred out of it. I took a hiatus from college and the contact dissipated with it. Upon my return to school, contact was reestablished but didn’t flourish since she was in a LTR (which resulted in a child) and I eventually ended up in one sometime thereafter. When we did see each other on campus, we would have a short conversations and I helped her with some of her classes. In one of the passing conversations, she told me that she wanted to bang back when but that didn’t happen (I was AFC back then and just didn’t pick up the hint). For me assisting with her classes, she agreed to take me out to dinner.

Fast forward to recent… she’s (been) out of her LTR, I’m out of my LTR, we live about 2 hrs apart, and I’ve accomplished the American Dream (homeowner). She sends a text out the blue saying hey and we have had multiple conversations per week since. The dinner "outing" has been set later this month when I'll be closer to her.

Is She trying to get what she has wanted for a while (me) or she just trying to improve her status (move in house)?
 

"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.

Like Ruler said, you are over thinking. Just go with it and see where it goes.
