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.

Some thoughts (seriously)

Well, I went to go see that girl (the one I've been talking about in some of my past threads on advice) and does she look good :up:, like wow. She is tanned and it looks good, she toned up and her body looks great, she got streaks in her hair which make her look even more sexy, basically she looks waay better than the last time I saw her (early last month). I'm even more attracted to her now. Here's the thing: I went there to see her, we chatted about what we've been up to for the past while (mostly small talk), she didn't bring up why I haven't called her yet either :whistle:. So yeah, I dropped in to say 'Hi' and she basically asked me about school (what I'm taking now) and that was it, it's like pulling teeth (sometimes) trying to keep a conversation with her. After I left it got me thinking, should I pursue her any further or should I give her a chance? I mean, I really like her (is this one-itis that I'm feeling if I think about her?) I don't know....any thoughts/advice?
 

"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.

Good idea or bad idea: Tomorrow I'm going to call the sculpture studio (where she'll be) and ask for her, if she is not available then I ask the person to pass on my number to her. If she answers then I'll tell her the situation that I have been having problems with my cell and lost everyone in my phonebook (including hers)....OR say that I tried to call her last week but, I must have inputted her # incorrectly when she gave it to me (excuse because I lost it when she gave it to me last month :rolleyes: )

*...sighs...* yes, within a matter of minutes.
 

"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.

Okay here some advice one of my best friends gave me, and, I thank him for the extra needed confidence booster:


You big front bum!
k here is the thing, more often then not, girls love a guy who will take
action (it shows confidence). And well if you don't any action and she
likes you, she may not try anything she will just get annoyed and well
move on rather quickly. By then you find out about this and she had just
gone out to the bar and hooked up with some guy... which then she may
regret (if she is more my type lol), but then blame you for reacting
like that (well if she did like you), but then she is gonna hate you for
it!
F*CK! buddy get on your horse and take action.


What do u guys think about that?

Her lack of engagement/interest in your convo is a bad sign. It sounds like she was merely putting up with you while you talked. Maybe she has other prospects on her mind.

it's painful to read stuff like this, because I've definitely been there. It's hard to accept that she's not into you, but you're not going to get on with your life until you accept it.
