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.

Dude, you lost complete control of the situation and it seems like she even set the stage for this type of confrontation by doing and saying things that she knew would piss you off then asking you why are you mad. Unfortunately, you fell right into her hands.

First off, stop calling this girl, you said whatever you said, now it's done and over. Quit calling this girl to try to smooth things over. It's like someone else posted, this gives her more ammunition to bring back to her friends about how the breakup between the two of you was due to you being a jerk. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR COMPSURE AROUND WOMEN. Women tend to have better emotional control than men and the way they knock you off base is by making you go off on them. Leaving her angry messages on her voice mail and going off on her just made you look like the jerk when you should've just told her what you felt that she needed to hear, then be done with her.

OK, so you hurt her feelings, SO WHAT. STOP CALLING HER!!!! What she's doing seems more like a power play than anything and you're encouraging it by calling her and leaving apologetic messages on her voice mail (she's letting her friends hear that shyt BTW). It's time to show some composure, stop calling her, and if you do speak to her, dont fall for any bait that would lead to the two of you arguing.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Its funny... I was looking through old threads of mine and found this one.... This was actually part of the reason I started my approach journal.

Anyway dumping this girl turned out to be a great decision. Since this time this girl has slept with at least 4 different guys and goes out clubbing and drinking every chance she gets.

I actually did end up talking to her months later and we ended up having sex. Then I found out she slept with some guy in between that time and I got disgusted again and told her off lol

Anyway its funny how blind you can become when you are in a relationship. I never knew this girl was such a slut...

Now I need to find me some true love!

Well lesson learned... It has been 2 years eh? I am sure you would handle things differntly now... Don't be AFC and go searching for the "true love". I agree about being blind while you are emotionally attached. Lessons learned the hard way eh?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

No such a thing as 'true love'. Only Hollywood has 'true love' mentality.
