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.

Okay, so to start off, this girl seems great. We are both juniors in high school and we both have cars so we can go out.

We would always stare at each other so one day I decided to go up to her. I got her number and she seems really exited when I talk to her in person. But when we text she takes forever to reply and makes excuse but seems happy to text me. After a short period of time I stupidly decided to asked her to be my girlfriend. She told me she really likes me and but she just feels like she barely knows me. She said that later that day. She randomly came up to me to tell me. So I'm trying to get to know her but here comes the mixed signals.

She always touches me and rubs my arms and tried to hold my hand. But then she takes forever to text back. I also saw her flirting with another guy by touching his arm and laughing with him right after I walked away from her. And she told her friend the we aren't really "talking" yet. I'm just so confused.

Does she like me? Should I text we everyday? I really want to ask her to go hangout sometime but I don't know if I should. Please help guys. Also it won't b awkward because we both have cars so it's not like our parents would take us. Is she using me just for attention or does she really like me?

"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.

I wrote a thread on mixed signals. Go read it.

Women who are interested in you will not confuse you.

Case closed. Move on.

Ok here is the deal, she could be rejecting you.. or she could be doing a power pull. Stop texting her, because I feel like your coming on strong, be more reserved man. Take forever texting her back and see where is goes. You were not rejected or she would have never given you the phone number.

Whenever I read a post by someone talking about texting a girl of interest, I'm perplexed. Do you really think you're getting any closer to her by texting?? You should only use texts when you can't call her, and you only call her when you want to set up a date. If you can't get her on a date, you know where you stand, next her.

Texting makes your hamster spin the wheel.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
