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.

a girl wanted me to approach her. she sent me a message to do so. we met before when we got introduced but we were in a hurry so i had to leave.

i saw her a few weeks after and i sent her an email. she said she forgets people whom she meets so she wanted me to approach her. just to introduce myself.

our schedules conflicted so i wasn't able to approach her. the few times i wanted to approach her, i was in a hurry looking for my teacher so we just made EC.

now it's been a month since with only a few ECs in between. i got tired and decided i might as well go and look for her when it was ok.

i saw her a few hours ago and made EC. i waited that she finish gathering her things and gets ready to leave. when she saw me, she turned to her friends and then [had??] her friends accompany her in front of me. i was gonna approach her but when i wanted to, she turned away and i feel like she's avoiding me.

i think i took too long. help me, guys. i think i failed. i don't know what to do. :(
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Um... I can't think up a response to this!

The best I can say is try again. If she's still pmsing then you're done wit her.

"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.

I think the problem is you built up an awkwardness between you two with all the EC's but no approaches.

Just grab your balls and sneak up behind her (well not really, but you know what i mean) and go from there...

ive been readying myself for the approach by approaching a few girls today. i just realized something. i have almost never been upright rejected by someone. i mean, there were times when they weren't interested but i never really approached her in the first place. maybe something to think about.
