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.

Well. You see, i'm not sure anymore.. about my girlfriend. Things are getting old. I love her and all but.. i want something different.

See we've been going out for about 10 months the 16th of this month and my intrest is going out... I just want to be single. I had so many opportunities to make out with other girls at parties but shes holding me back because I dont want to cheat on her. Even though I had once which was a while back but I dont want to tell her about it cause she would never talk to me again. (For those of you remember, i made out with some chick who cant kiss for $hit and i risked getting my ass kicked by her dad:p heres the link for those of you who dont know lol http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57803 )

So I'm not sure what to do.. etheir A.) waiting for her to dump me because i'm not to manly about doing it myself or B) just stick with her.

See shes REALLY REALLY attached and I dont want to break it off with her and so yeah.. I need help
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah man you are 16.. there will be many, many, many women if your life, throughout your adolesence and adulthood. Don't be too attatched to one at this point, especially when you want something different.
 

"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.

So your willing to let your happiness slowly fade away just so you can keep her happy?

Perish the thought.....

Dump her, she WILL find someone better for her. I use this context because your not helping her if you don't want her. Look at it as doign her a favor. Your letting her go so she can find someone who truly wants to be with her. ;)

I believe that if you would explain it to her from this point of view she won't be as "heartbroken." And if you REALLY mean this stick to it and be a man.

Tough break. Obviously i don't know the bird, so i have no clue as to wether she'll go through with it. Otherwise, in me experience, these things blow over soon enough.

From Luis:

please liz, shut up and listen. Like I didnt give up everything for her too? Shes not the only one here.. I aint coming up with no ****. Its all the truth..

So did she tell you everything?

I said I was willing to let my happiness slowly fade away just to keep her happy. How would you feel if you were in my situation? I'm letting her go so she can find someone who truly wants to be with her. I loved her, I meaned it. Times change, people change. Its the way of life. If your gonna kill me.. than it was nice knowing all of you. I'm sorry. I truly am.

Isn't funny if a man dumps a girl because he's not happy he's commited some sort of sin. On the other hand...if a girl does it...she's just wanting some space, and you should be oh so respectful of that. :rolleyes:


You did what you knew you had to do. You have no regrets...don't let this "liz" girl make you feel like you've done something wrong. I'm guessing this girl is your ex's friend and the reason why she is making such a big deal out of it.


All in all....aslong as you know deep down inside you made the right decision you don't have to answer to anyone except yourself

"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.
