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.

Sup lads.

Ive been with this girl for around a month and a half 'exclusively' and a bit longer than that just dating and the likes.

Whenever im with her for example just out on a date or whatever or when we have sex and the likes, she always compliments me on things (which is fair enough) but my question is this...

after she tells me how hot i am or how much she likes me blah blah she often goes 'you hardly ever compliment me'. This is true since i dont hand out compliments all the time (not sure why, just seems a bit lame to me to compliment your girl constantly...).

Dont get me wrong, i DO compliment her when i feel its appropriate and genuine but what im wondering is, how should i handle this kinda thing when she comes out with it?

Cheers bros
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It sounds like she's complimenting you because she has low self esteem and expects you to return a compliment so she feels better about herself. Don't give her any more compliments than you think is appropriate.

yeah randalll thats what i was thinking about her as well. I think thats bang on tbh. I dont plan on upping the compliments anyway lol so yeah what im doing at the moment works fine in any case.

DJ Hero, i hadnt heard of that! i actually do indeed do that passively but yeah its cool to see it written down. Shes not complimenting me constantly or being clingy or anything and its not a problem per se so i dont see it as a red flag in this scenario but yeah thats cool.

Thanks for the input lads
