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.

Anyway for a date recap all went well, we went skating. we did exchange #s. Anyway i told her i'd call her when i left.
We sort of agreed to meet up this tues during breaks. So her IL is like in the 90% range.

Anyway yesterday (monday night) she sends me a text mssge saying how her butt is toned from skating and asking how i was around (11;30 pm). I thought i'd reply in the morning.

ok 1:30 am, she blasts another repeat of her previous txt mssg.
i thought nothing of it and went back to trying to sleep.
4 a.m. phone sounds again, since i couldnt sleep i checked it again. Same repeat of txt mssge with a new one saying thx to me for convincing her to go skating.

Ok i thought, she was persistent and probably stayed up the whole night waiting for a reply from me (and she has class this mmorning).

So it's 4 a.m. and i decided...hell why wait till morning!
my mssg: Veron, cant sleep? I had fun skating w/u. I'll talk more w/u tomorrow. Do try to get some sleep : )

Thats' the end of the mssages. Now waking up and reflecting on my mssge i sent....
it sounds like an attempt to brush her off and to stop annoying me.

Anyway im gonna txt her again in a little while saying..."mmm...toned butt! cant wait to see it :O~~"
And possibly meet her during the break and inquire what time she slept, to show that i cared about her sleep and not that i thought she was annoying.

what do you guys think?
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Shoulda told her to come over or leave you alone until morning.

You may have just blown off a booty call. If that's what you meant to do, fine. It sounds like she's interested enough to wait until YOU'RE ready. :p

Are you sure those weren't duplicates from the network? I sometimes get txt msgs 2 or 3 times when they were only sent once.

That's how I got together with one of my ex-s. We were texting throughout a whole night, then got it on a few days later.

Don't worry about texting girls, just as long as you're not the one being persistent.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I spoke to her about that since she inquired why i texted her 4 a.m. in the morning. And it truly wree duplicates. Now she assumes im the one that couldnt sleep since i texted back.

anyway i ended up texting the part about toned butt..nothing happened but she suggested to meet up after class.

Which leads to my other post..
