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.

OP, first by asking about him to the roomie when they had dinner, and secondly by telling the friend exactly her plan!
changing for simplicity Friend (girl) = Mary


HB had dinner with Mary not AFC. She tells AFC different story.


HB flaked on AFC on coming to the house last night, I wonder if its because she heard thu Mary I wasn't going to be there. Or if she really had to pick up her sister. :)

I've been entertaining the idea of emailing HB and telling her to be straight with AFC. Any thoughts on this?
 

"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.

Oh she likes you no doubt. Stubby I don't get it. You are 38 right? Why go through all these games? Sounds kinda high schoolish. Is all this worth it?

Do you like this girl? Is she someone you would be interested in hanging out with and getting to know, just you two?

If so, then call her, or email, and say "look, the whole thing the other day was kinda awkward. I thought, and I think you did too, that our mutual friend had brought us there to hang out and see how we vibe, and instead it turned into this little ordeal with my roomie and our mutual friend. So I was thinking you and I should go get a drink, just the two of us, and get to know each other without the outside distractions."

Bam! End of drama, end of games. Tell your roomie to F off if he complains too. He never even should have been in the picture.
