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.

Good comeback to "I miss you"!?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

erm, maybe it's really unDJish of me, but I usually just tell them I did miss them too (even if I didn't)
 

"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.

That works obsidian...

I hate it when people ask for these generic responses, women are unique one response wont suit all. Some might get offended some might love it. DJ's should take time to get to know the girl they are talking to not spend all their time recalling the canned lines they learned.

Its not unDJish.

(to everyone) Remember, if she says it first, and you simply repeat it back, then you're just saying the natural thing because she said it. One can take the wise cracks and tough-guy jerk thing so far, that it can eventually just become annoying to her and she might eventually not even take you seriously.

To be AFC is to say it first. That's what you don't want to do (IMO). Saying it first is to actually mean it, and expresses inherent neediness.

Well, if you DO miss her back, don't tell her, otherwise the entire facade you've built will crumble.

How about "Okay, then let's get together this weekend."?
It's a command not a question. If she balks you say "Guess you don't really miss me then." If she says OK, plan something really cool and fun so she'll remember it.

I would go with the "I miss me too." - depending on how much she can take a joke. If she seems to be the more serious type and you just said something really ****y/funny with her a moment ago, i would go with what Rogue suggested.

Eh, I wouldn't even give her the hint to plan something for the weekend. She's supposed to be a big girl, she should be able to suggest something herself.
 

"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.

If she says she misses you, it doesn't really matter what you say because she's obviously into you, as long as you don't be a wussbag. You could say

"Prove it" and pull her in for a hug and a kiss.
"I know, I'm so 'missable'".
"I've missed you, too, with every shot so far".
"I've missed you, too. Uh, what's your name again?" They'll laugh at this one, guaranteed!
