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.

Alright,

So Wednesday is pretty much the day that my friends and I hit up happy hour after work. So here I am at 12:30 bored out of my mind at the office, so I decide to text a girl to see if she wants to join...

She goes YEA YEA I'm totally game, just let me know the details. So here I am thinking NICE...this girl is going to come out, have a few drinks..Maybe I'll get her to go to dinner with me...

Then literally ALL of my boys cancel on me for one reason or another...so I told her that it would only be me and her and one of my other friends...then SHE responds back saying maybe we should just chill out at her place instead..

So I immediately get all excited, thinking I'm going to pull this chick etc....So I respond to her saying yea great idea lets do it blah blah..girl doesn't answer me till about 5...which is about 2 hours after i sent her that text. At 4, everyone in my office is gone, so I decide to walk around for a little give her a little time to get back to me...4:30 nothing, 4:45 nothing, so at this point I said fvck it I'm going home. RIGHT when I get on the bus to go home this girl hits me back saying shes leaving work in an hour she'll tell me the deal then. I told her I was on my way home and we'll rain check it..

The thing is here like I'm totally down with making girls wait on texting and stuff but NOT if your setting up a time and place to meet and what not...WTF is this girl trying to convey?
 

"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.

Maybe you were too keen about meeting her at her place? Or maybe she thought it was planned that your friends couldn't make it?


You done the right thing in cancelling it because she disrespected you by keeping you waiting. She'll know better in future.


Next time you see her act normal. If you act differently she'll know why and it won't look good for you. If you act normal it tells her she doesn't really matter that much to you.
