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.

HI All --

New here. Need some advice as I've never run into this type of woman before.

I (26) have been dating a woman, 26, for over 3 months. I've been leading the relationship on ALL aspects. Things have been great and we have sex quite often.

The only problem is that she is very, very, shy. I've accepted this personality, but it's getting old now. I've become exhausted with coming up with ideas for dates and ALWAYS asking her out. I mean 3 weeks I didnt mind, but 3 months ??????

She has consistently accepted my dates from day one. She just dont say a whole a lot... :rolleyes:

How do I handle her? Anyone else date a super shy/quiet woman.
 

"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.

I had a similar experiance. Dated a girl and all she would do is answer questions with 1 word. She'd no spark for life at all and although she wasn't a bad person she was very negative. Is your date negative or just shy?


I'd say if she doesn't open up to you a bit more soon then you'll have to forget about her.

Def not negative. Just quiet and really agrees to whatever my ideas and/or opinions are. I mean $hit - it might take her 2 year to finally tells me how she feels about how things are going.

The #1 rule about DJing - Do what makes YOU happy.

Some people are just quiet people, and if she hasn't opened up to you after dating you for more than 90 days, she probably isn't going to. Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, but to me it seems she is less like a girlfriend, and more like person that you can stand to be around that is open to the idea of sex with you.

I would say that if this relationship makes you happy, continue it. However, when I read this post, I get strong feelings that you aren't happy about it.

- For one: The title of the post is "How to DEAL with shy women?" Which implies that you have to DEAL with her. DEAL as in put up with, learn to live with, settle for. Maybe thats not what you meant, and I'm just getting caught up in semantics, but your word choice isn't one that I would have used to describe a happy relationship.

- You have became EXHAUSTED keeping the relationship going. You are ALWAYS the one to set things up and come up with ideas. A relationship should not be a chore that has a benefit (sex). It should be something you do for fun, and more over something that both parties actively participate in.

Ask yourself: Is this the kind of girl you want an LTR with? One that does nothing to further the relationship and scarcely talks? If it makes YOU happy. Unless you've been spinning plates on the side, think about all of the other passionate and talkative women you've been missing out on in the last 90 days.

Good Luck

Shy girls....ughh....boring....

"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.

See how she is with her family. Some people are quiet but once they open up, you can't get them to shut up!!!
