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.

How to initiate a second date?

Hey guys,

New the forum and love the stuff. Some of it I have found truly life changing material. After about 3 or 4 times of having girls initially interested in me, going on a date, then becoming infatuated, and finally appearing really needy and being rejected, I think I am changing my ways.

So recently I asked a girl out on a date from one of my college classes. The date went okay and we had a decent conversation. I initiated some Kino (which was a little awkward) but I think overall it was fun, we hugged at the end and she said she was see me in class next week. After the date, last Thursday, I texted her telling her I had a blast. She replied like an hour later thanking me for inviting her, that she had a great time and wished me a nice long weekend.

My question is if it is worth it to try for a second date? If so, should I just text her and ask her straight up? From the date I know she likes desert so I was thinking of saying I see desert and want to get some desert with her (to lame?) Any suggestions?
 

"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.

Firstly, I'd like to welcome you to the community. Secondly, I'd like to praise on you starting your self improvement programme and thirdly, I do think you should initiate a second date. You had fun, she had fun and you both seem intersted in each other, so what do you have to lose? There are no right or wrong ways to ask somebody out on a date, if you want to text then go ahead and text her, if you want to ask her in person ask her in person, it doesn't matter.

What I like doing is arranging the second date as the first one draws to a close. I like to set my stall out early and I like to be forward and honest about my intentions, so everybody knows where they stand. There seems to be a rule of waiting three or four days which I don't agree with. A lot can change in three or four days, so it is important to keep things ticking along nicely. I'm not blowing up her phone with text messages, voice mails and phone calls, but strike while the iron is hot. If she is genuinely interested in you then it won't matter if you text her, ask her in person or whatever.

I hope I have been of some help to you.
