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.

ok so i was talking to this girl online right, more like email type thing rather than instant message - couple days in between replies sort of thing. and after a short intro she goes


"but ya, what do you do for fun :)"

and I go

"well on friday nights i usually go to the library, find the biggest book i can and try to count all the letters in it and see if i can beat my record befoe i fall asleep. tons of fun. either that or i wander the streets looking for new rocks for my rock collection. :) you?"

and she never replied.. i remember hearing something about not giving girls straight answers. so was what I wrote stupid, cause too me it was at least somewhat funny(although I think I was hihg when i wrote it lol, but still). your opinion?
 

"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.

Good idea but terrible execution. You went a bit overboard. And smileys are useless

I would have taken that time to demonstrate high value, but first you should have not qualified with her first attempt I would have asked a question like "why" first then answered with some high quality ****! rather than played around sarcastically build your status first then you can mess around like that later on
