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.

Does she have a boyfriend? How many has she had since you've known her?

Kiss on the cheek? Yet she invites to watch shows .. calls you?

Why would she even put in the effort if she wasn't attracted?

You're not the only one perplexed. No she has no bf. She has had two since I've known her. Once I was real cool with, and one that I detest for certain private reasons. She knows it too.

I often wonder if she has any sort of attraction to me, but I try not to see into things. I usually can read women well, but she's a tough one. Always has been...and I'm not going to overstep any bounds b/c I'm not trying to look the fool if I'm wrong. Yes, she did do that kissing the cheek stuff. When she did that I was WTF is this? We haven't done that in a while though. I hadn't seen her in a while so I went for a big hug...the kind where you just wrap your arms all around 'em. Do you know that she wouldn't give it to me? She's a trip...
 

"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.

I'm starting to wonder about this situation as well.

You've known her for 5 years but there's nothing happening. I initially got the message from your first post that you've been dating her. Now it sounds like you're trying to turn a friend into a lover.

If that's your goal, you're better off to NEXT her.

Wow .. she does sound like a trip.

She almost sounds like a very insecure/non-confident type that dates wild and crazy guys or something?

You're her 'rock' so to speak .. think there is an attraction but doesn't want to hurt you by falling for the type of guys she's into lately?

In your head
I had been talking with one of my lady friends

This is just pathetic

5 years? You are already in her friends box.

This doesn't belong in the forum, you are complaining about behaviour from a FRIEND.

If this was a dating issue then we have something to talk about.

If I was hanging with my mates I wouldn't have an issue with them taking a phone as long as they took it else where and not interrupt my movie viewing, comprende?

Yeah. We both have been in relationships. I hadn't been pursuing her for 5 years. I've considered if there was any potential between us, but this is a new development.

About nexting her, I've been working to distance myself from her, as I'm not seeing anything in the works. She will call me and what have you, and I'll call her back. I refuse to listen to her talk about other guys, which is what she's tried to do recently. She doesn't have anyone in mind, but she states she needs to get in the game. I'm not her counselor, so I hadn't even been commenting on those issues.
 

"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.

Why would she care if I'd be hurt by her falling for some wild guy?
