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.

Since dating my gf for over 3 months, I feel that we've pretty much exhausted most fun things to do together. I'm going to meet with her tomorrow night, but can't thing of an exciting thing to do with her.

So basically, I need some ideas. I want something new, different, and cool.
 

"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.

don't worry too much about it. it ain't gotta be a brand new idea. it's about doing fun-stuff not necessarily new stuff.

go shopping with her the whole day. she'd love you for that. don't do too much, don't try too hard cause if you do, she'll notice.

tell her to dress real nice, do the same and take her to a nice place to eat or to the movies. women love to look pretty and whatever you do is gonna be more fun when both of you are looking good. if she's into animals, take her to the zoo. call a couple people and go bowling.

just don't sit on the couch in your boxers, unshaved, and watch tv. even if you want to catch a dvd together, dress good, take her out first, then come home and watch the movie.

Check the local newspaper for community events. You can find some really fun things to do that way. Once our local paper had a Dance Dance Revolution Competition listed in the paper in that section.
 

"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.
