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.

"djben2, im really sorry but i think we should break up. i just dont feel the same anymore. im so sorry this is over msn but i cant mange hearing your voice. im so sorry."

now this did come as a shock to me but im not in denial i saw it coming a while now and i did like her but its not the end of the world. anyway this is what i sent back.

" yeah i think your right. we make better friends than a couple but i still think over msg is a bit sad. its not the end of the world its not as if i was going to start abusing you or burst into tears =S. anyway no hard feelings right.

now how do you think i handled it?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Eh... You could have handled it much better.

"That's cool, I understand."

And simply moved on...

OH Wow.

Dude if only 50% of the people seeking help here could learn this from you, we can save up on alot on database space and bandwidth space.

In conclusion: You handled it perfectly.

Now the really popular advise will be No Contact. Yes this has been proven and it works. No matter if you want to get her back, or you want to get back at her, in both ways initial no contact. If you are lost just follow this advise you will be fine.

However, if you are not affected by it you can be polite but indifferent. This is not a popular method but works just as well. Main thing being you are moving on and your attention is now for other things so if she wants to come into your life again in the future it is now her turn to work hard for it.

Hope it helps. =)


EDIT: Ok now I missed out something. Your reply to her was too long. If you could just write

" yeah i think your right. we make better friends than a couple. no hard feelings
That will be the best.

Yeah, you did good. Like RFish said, your response wasn't word perfect, but we're humans, nothing ever is :)

You've turned the tables on her and agreed that you shouldn't be together anymore. This sets you up for possibly fvcking her in the future, and she'll probably be wondering why you don't seem particularly bothered. Best way to handle a sh1tty situation.

Get back in the game.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
