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.

hey guys, after readling heaps of posts on how to approach and what to say, and how to keep a convo going, i have come to the conclusion that many ppl here dont know what to talk about, or start up some convo after the fluff talk is over(including myself).

so i thought, that if we can get ppl to post any topics that you can talk to a girl about, we will have a nice list for us to look over, and get some ideas.
 

"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.

Ironic.

A thread about conversation, in which no one is conversating.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
The best topics are the ones you come up with on the fly, from your surroundings. As you walk down the street or wherever, you probably have an internal monologue going on in your head. Things you see, what they remind you of, casual observations, things you laugh about...let her in on bits and pieces of it and use them as conversation threads.

If you're one of those people who are always thinking about crazy stuff, not only does this give you original topics to talk about, they're GENUINE, meaning it comes from you and isn't some pattern or topic you pulled out of a hat. :)

I agree with squirrels. Carrying on the conv is tough, but it can be the easist. I am still learning, but i am trying to build 2 skills;
1. Active listening
2. Noun play


It is critical to listen what she says. I think even the simplest stuff that she says, you can play it little bit and carry on the conv.

For example...

You: Hi, hows it going?
HER: Good.

- Typical AFC will stop here. But I tend to carry on the conv. as follow:

You: Just good?
HER: Yeah ..
You: What's your typical day like?
HER: blah blah ..

- At this point .. she will say something .. so .. you listen and pick out some nouns that you can use it to carry on the conv.
