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.

I know my inner game is far from DJ. But I'm working on it. But I just want to ask one more time about how I handled my last flake. The day of, she said "she felt weird coming to my house" I deflected the flake by saying "didn't think you were coming. I already made plans." She gave me a bs complicated make no sense excuse to which I replied "don't worry about it. Let me know when you want to get together" and went NC (3 days so far). Did i communicate unworthiness when I said "didn't think you were coming?" I mean, I don't know. She usually confirms and she got back to me late so I was frontin' like I just up and made plans for the sake of value. I'm not thrilled with the "didn't think you were coming" either way but did that statement alone pedestal her? If you want to reply to this, I dont want to hear about the low interest level because it wasn't fvcking low, I lowered it with oneitis and by not letting her initiate contact more than me. If you want to reply, analyze my statements and the likelihood that NC could raise respect/attraction in the long run. IVE MOVED ON AND IM DATING OTHER GIRLS OK. No more of that captain obvious sh1t either.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

you should go AFC.

Call her, tell her you miss her and you would really like to see her.

it's clear that keeping up this whole facade has got you all fvcked up.

so get it over with .. Call her!

:up: goodluck



P.S. if it goes ok give an update
if not..also give an update.

then we can see if going AFC once in a while helps :p or if it should be avoided at all costs.

Op I think you handled it acceptability. Now just stay NC and don't dwell on it. If there is any future hope with you and her NC is it, but my gut says you should call this one finished and keep on keeping on.

Well, in essence, NC is calling it finished but also potential remedy for an over pursuer. My situation was created by very subtle mistakes. The frustrating part of it is they were really dumb and easily avoidable on my part. I got more than the time of day from her. But what do you mean by gut feeling?

Gut feeling = my opinion based on the facts you articulated in your original post
 

"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.

For the sake of my insomnia (not because of the situation, I just have insomnia) could you elaborate?
