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.

Been dating with my primary girl for a good solid 4-5 months now.
She is getting cold now, still tells me the usual, "I miss you I love you" but the soul is missing.
I can feel in my gut the spark is dying. She's not too eager to text or call anymore, she is a little too "busy" lately.
Doom is coming, break up is inevitable, don't feel like ghosting and push and pull games, too old for that ****. When it doesn't work it doesn't work.

Hate to start over again. Just hate to find a new girl again. What a ****ty day.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Been neglecting my other plates too, one has a "boyfriend" since a week or 2 and my other plate I ghosted on her when I was in the honeymoon phase and she blocked me.

why did you ghost your plate in the honeymoon phase and not back off her instead

She was giving me sh!ttests, flaking on dates, I was tired of that sh!t and I was in the honeymoon phase with my primary girl, so I ignored her phone calls and didn't return her texts. I noticed last week she blocked me, and I didn't care then.

you make it sound like it's pretty much over. if there is no way to salvage things then you have to be able to cut your losses and move on. anything less will only **** yourself over in the long run. unless it's your wife or something, a woman in which you have put a lot of investment in.....you have to of the mentality that you can and will drop her at any point in time. now i'm not saying you should that in this case as i'm not you or know what's going on, but you shouldn't hem and haw about it if it's at the point of no return. you have a lot of guys that are in ****ty relationships that are doomed but they refuse to let go because they get attached.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You are low man on totem pole. She busy with other 'poles'.

The red flag of slutdom, seems appropriate in the case. Or, she's taken up knitting!:p
