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 was setup by a friend this past weekend. We were to meet with a group of my and her friends.

She was totally opposite to me and I was not interested in her so I excused myself and sat down with another girl on the patio who happened to be sitting by herself.

The girl was friendly and we had a Great conversation (booze sure get's the edge off) and as I was to make my exit she said that we should get together. So she gave me her phone number...SCORE!

But being really busy with work I didn't call her until 3 days after we met I had no intentions calling her the next day. I got her VM and left her a message saying I was the guy she met on saturday and to give me a call....

She hasn't called..should I persue this girl? She's smokin hot it's just what the Dr ordered for me to get back on track?
 

"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.

If not, don't bother.

True..

Maybe one call and then it's done. No love gained none lost but i'm looking to build up more female friends as I cut most of them off when the ex and I split.

Don't expect a girl to call initially.

This is why I hate when you dont get a girl on the phone the first time.

I'd try again, but don't leave a message if you don't get her on the phone.

Try calling again few days after your initial call because things may happened why she hasn't or didn't call back. Not all non-return calls are rejections. Give her the benefit of the doubt. Nexting her after the first non-return call is not necessary.

Thanks guys.

She ended up calling me last night and asked to meet up. I already had plans for the evening so I told her we'd have to reschedule.

We'll see how it goes.
