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.

She will be at this crazy christian school this spring and she was the one that wanted to keep this going. I won't cheat because the girls at my university are not worth it at all and 3 weeks in between sex isn't that bad if you know you have a gf. How should I go about this to maintain a strong frame?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

My current gf and I recently had to spend 2 months apart doing a temporary LDR and it sucked. I wouldn't do it again and the only reason I did it in the first place was that there was an official end date.

The basics still pretty much apply -

- Keep yourself busy (You cannot for one second let her think that you are moping around the house missing her)
- Don't be too available but also don't ignore her. Find the balance.
- Never give her full disclosure of what you're up to. Hold back details and make her wonder. Keep that hamster spinning.

I don't strongly advise this but I used to switch my phone off once a week (never on a Fri or Sat night) alternating the day. First week it was off Tuesday, the next week Thursday etc..) Her hamster WILL spin up the worst possible scenario ie. you being with another girl.

Set up a date night once a week where you are on facetime/skype with eachother and watch the same movie/tv series together. This will help in meeting her emotional needs.

She will still sh!t test you. Don't fall for it, maintain your frame.

Ya, this semester will keep my schedule busy, so I'm not worried about moping around all day lol. The only thing I'm worried about is that I make most of my money on the weekends and I won't be able to take off work sometimes when she's begging me too. I also want to save money too and she wants to do valentines day in another city with a hotel :/. Thanks for not saying she will cheat on you bull because a cheater will cheat regardless of whether the relationship is ldr or her living in your closet lol. If cheating is your main worry than you are probably dating the wrong type of girl or you are not ready for a relationship.
