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've been talking to this girl for a while now. we text here and there and talk a lot when in person. however lately when i've tried to call her she neither picks up nor does she call back and i did leave a voicemail message. today i tried texting her afterwards because there was a problem at one time where she had a hard time receiving phone calls because of phone issues. didnt get an answer there either. now i dunno what to do. i feel like i should just stop talking to her but i also feel like i should at least find out whether it was a phone problem or she was just ignoring me.

i need some help making a decision here guys help me out please. should i cut contact or try to contact her later today and see how that pans out?

note: we're both in high school (different schools) and i get the feeling that you have to handle these situations differently than you would with girls out of high school because they are just as new to this as most guys are.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I would cut the attention with her for a bit, if shes still interested then she should contact you.
Maybe shes an afc and she is scared of talking to you on the phone?

I think that emotions cannot be seen through texts (unless you use smilies) whereas phone calls you can tell what she means and how she means it by the tone of her voice and the pauses she has between sentences. Especially if you make her think on the spot.

Personally i would try building some real life rapport with her first then i would go for the phone calls.

i know her in real life. there was a time where we worked together, that was a while back tho. but yea, thats one for cutting contact. the other option for me is trying to contact her one last time tomorrow to maybe find out the situation like if she didnt have her phone or something. any more opinions?

I say cut contact.

There's probably not a problem with her phone, and you constantly trying to get back to her just makes you look desperate. She'll come back to you if she's interested. Even IF there is something wrong with her phone, let her make the next contact.

Good luck

if she isnt replying to your txts n **** then hit her up in person and ask whats the deal.. if you keep trying to call/txt her you'll look desperate most likely..
 

"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.

Don't make a small thing a big deal dude...

Just ask her next time you see her why she isn't picking up her phone or something.
