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 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.

The only way you can prove her wrong is to get some hobbies but eh if you don't want any hobbies and like who you are as a person you'll just have to get rid of her and find someone who likes you as you are.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Understandable.

Is she trying to use you not having any hobbies as a reason to break up with you or is it just one of those nagging chick complaints that is easy to dismiss?

If its just a nagging complaint ignore her.

LOL, ok then.

Just tell her you'll change your ways but then never do anything to change and whenever she brings it up again just tell her that you'll change soon you just need time.

Basically brush her off by acting like you'll change when no such change is going to happen.

That or you can tell her that she should just love you for the way that you are since you love her for the way that she is.

Well if you want to keep her you'll simply have to do what she requests but keep in mind you'll be living your life under her terms by doing this if its not something you want to do.

You seem to want to keep her at all costs so you'll just have to do what she wants in this case.

An easy way to do this is focus on grades if you are still in school. Spend an hour or two (maybe more) on school work and studying. In a few months, you should have pretty good semester grades. That becomes tangible proof of hard work and effort. Also helps your confidence too.

Friends???? How about you get friends and go do some crazy $hit with them. Like roadtrips, causing chaos in bars and 24 hour fast food places. Pick up an instrument, read a friggin book, start collecting something interesting.

OR how about this. IF YOUR FRIGGIN HAPPY THEN DON'T LET HER CONTROL YOU AND TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. ARE YOU A MAN OR WHAT???
 

"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.

If you don't want to do something and like the way you are, I guess you can throw her away and look for a girl who likes you the way you are.

Personally, I found there so many things a person can do with a day's time. Even assumming you like the way you are and you shouldn't change just for you girlfriend, being idle and never going out must be boring. You must have some kind of ambition, dream, or goal, go out and reach for it. You must have some kind of interests or interest in something but have not picked it up, go out and pick it up. Currently in college, I have a policy to have as little dull moment as possible, I would be studying, fencing, dancing, hanging with my friends, etc.
