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.

can anyone give me any advice on getting a shy girl to open up and talk about herself
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

it can be tough, but I found that if you both have common friends, you can hang around them with that shy girl. As you talk to your common friends, you can include the shy girl, and try to get her to open up.

If she really is truely shy, and not just trying to avoid you, you shouldn't expect to kino much. Give her high fives and hugs when you see her, but only if you think its appropriate

Yeah duffman i know where your coming from, i just got out of a year long relationship with an extremely shy girl. It all boils down to her confidence I believe. Of course try to make an approach and talk to her, but most important is to find out if she has a worthwhile personality underneath it all. If she's shy and still doesn't have anything interesting to talk about its not worth it.
