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.

Should I bother asking her to join me? Girl in my class + assignment

Please read this, I know its kind of long.

Me and this girl have gotten to know each other in one of my college classes. She and I were group members on assignments and we sit next to each other. Got her phone number the first day of class too. We have sent texts to each other, but they are mostly initiated due to class stuff.

We have a field trip assignment that we have to individually go and do (the place we go is our decision) and then we have to do a little write up on it. Anyways, last class when she was looking at her syllabus I asked her what we had coming up as far as assignments due. We looked over the syllabus together and noticed the field trip thing which is due 2 weeks from now. I decide to say "hey, we should do this together". She responded with "Yea, we should!", sounding excited. I then mention that I am free either this weekend or the next. She says "ohhh weekends..hmm I have so much going on with work and stuff, I also did visit the science center a few weeks ago so i might be able to just write about that, but ill ask the professor first...weekends are just so hard with my work schedule and stuff lately".

At the end of class she gets up and talks to the professor and then comes back to me. She says the professor says it's alright for her to do the assignment on her science center trip. I go on to say, "Well if you'd like to still come along with me, send me a text or something. I'm going to such and such museum". She says "Actually can you send me a text before you go and if I am free ill come with you??" I tell her that I'll send her a text before going to check if she'd like to come along...but she then says "but please don't wait up for me if I am not able to make it..I don't want to mess up your schedule". I end the conversation with "I tell you what, if you decide to come along, we can also go have lunch at my cousin's restaurant (popular place). Free food! haha". She responds with "ohhhh I like food! Thanks [my name]!!". I tell her once more that ill text her.

So my question is, has she already silently rejected me? Should i text her today and ask if she'd like to come along tomorrow? Or should I wait till next weekend? I don't want to pressure her into hanging out, since that's not my style. Another thing is, I did notice when looking over her shoulder that she had "Alexis birthday!!" written down in her planner for tomorrow (or maybe it was today if I didn't see correctly) (NO STALKER).

If I do text I was thinking of sending this:

Hi [name], just checking to see if you'd like to join me on my little field trip adventure tomorrow afternoon haha. Well let me know, if I don't go tomm, then I'll be going next weekend for sure.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Stop texting.

Call.
I dont know what it is with girls who are ~20 years of age. they seem to prefer texting.

I tried calling her once but it went to her voice mail, and she ended up texting me the next day apologizing not calling back.

Another time we had to meet up to do a group assignment, and the night before she sent me a text asking me if its ok for her to call me tomorrow to see where I was on campus...

maybe she is phone shy, I don't know, but texting seems to be her preference...I have no problem calling.
 

"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 sent her a text yesterday and she responded this morning saying:

"hey seabumma, thank you for the invite, but I already have plans for today. Good luck though!"

should I bother responding? I was thinking:

"Hey, no problem. Had change of plans on my side anyways. Have a nice day :)"

I do not plan on going to the museum today as some family plans ended up coming up in the morning.
