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.

Yet texts me a lot of I miss you texts, can't wait too see you...ect. On average she texts me 2.5 to my 1 text, never says no when I tell her we meeting up, if not she makes an alternative. So i doubt it an intrest level issue.

If I leave it, she just sends more i miss you texts, untill I initiate again.

Any advice guys?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Some women are more passive than others. So long as she is texting you sweet messages and showing interest, her level of passiveness should not matter to you. And if it really does matter that much, you should break up with her and find a woman who initiates more often. Your choice.

Yeah, there's really nothing wrong here. She's acting old-school style, waiting for the man to come up with the plan, and that's a GOOD thing - she's allowing you to lead.

With that said: if you want her to initiate things, do what I do. Just tell her, "hey, if you ever have an idea of something you'd like to do, let me know. I'm always looking for cool stuff for us to do, but I figure you might come up with something I may not have thought of." Usually gets the girl to come up with a few ideas next time we meet up.

Oh, and try laying off the texting a bit. She's already your girlfriend so the texting issue isn't as big of a deal since she already likes you, but the longer you can go ghost when you're not with her, the better it is for HER interest level, as well as for her desire to want to see you again.

Hope this helps!

I'm in the same boat at the moment. I think my g/f has invited me to do something exactly once and that was a group date. The only thing you can do is roll with it and not think of it as a negative sign of interest from her. Some girls just want the guy to lead. I'll admit it can be exhausting always having to be the one coming up with ideas of things to do. The alternative I suppose is the other extreme of being smothered. Look at it as a blessing and make sure she treats you right when you are together.
