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.

lol - I couldn't find a mutual friend of my ex-partner and myself's email address, so I thought "It'll be in her email account on hotmail".

In I go, retrieve email address and... there's an email from her tosser of a friend who neither of us got along with - after hearing some of the racist rubbish he came out with I broke down at one point and labelled him as a certain leader of a german socialist party...

anyway, I deviate.

I opened the email

In it she's outlined that she loves her previous ex because of my attitude towards putting her down all the time.

Yeah, sure. I mean, I held her down so much. I pushed her out with her friends, complimented her daily and encouraged her to go back to university so that she could improve herself.

I won't deny that we argued a lot - it was mainly because I didn't love her and I found her opinions so selfish I felt compelled to argue to the otherside even when I knew she wanted me to sympathise with her!

Gah, I'm well rid of her. The best part being is that she has 'undying love' for her ex - quite funny because I get on quite well with him and I've spoken to him about this issue - he really doesn't want her back :- ) and has recently told her so. I know she hasn't cheated because I can read her like a book and she prides herself on moral values.

Anyway, I intend to stab a few nails into the coffin - she still thinks she can get back together with me, but it ought to be interesting when I mention that I've met someone else and I'm fed up with listening to how badly everyone treats her.

[/rant over, thanks for reading!]
 

"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.

"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.
