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.

HB8 and I had one of the best cold approach sucess stories ever. The girl was hot for me and couldnt give me her # fast enough. My parting words to her were: HB8 I dont play text games so Ill call you in a few days. She said she would end the call and text me. I told her she better not and she relented. So, I called her 2 days later. No answer. Didnt leave a message. Then...

HB8- I have a missed call from this #. Is it accidental or intentional? I cant call back I have laryngitis.

Me- You did say you didnt prefer talking on the phone but developing larngitis...now thats commitment! Sorry to hear you are not feeling well (used her name).

HB8- Haha. I know. Its awful.
HB8- Ill call you in a few days (used my name)

Me-Glad we connected. Feel better. Talk soon.

One week later...

HB8- Hey. I didnt disappear from the face of the earth, Im just still sick. ;-( Wanted to wish you a happy holiday and Ill call you hopefully over the weekend...I better feel better by then. Lol.


Now here is my proposed text back.

"The saying"Strike while the iron is hot" I dont think includeds fevers. So, I understand and apprciate you reaching out. Get well soon and have a great holiday. It will be fun when we continue out conversation."

Or.

"Sorry to hear you are still not feeling well. Try and have a great holiday. Look forward to talking with you."

Or.

"I understand. Happy Holidays to you as well. Hope you feel better soon."

F^ck text. I hate this sh!t. Please weigh in here and help.

Also, its already been 4hrs since she texted. Is there a timeframe to this sh1t as well?
 

"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.

^^^I was going to say the same thing. Go with #3 but definitely leave off "Hope you feel better soon"

sounds like majorly low interest on her part. i wouldn't respond at all. or if i did it'd be no more than 'k'.

it does not really matter what you reply...as long as it's not something totally beta and awful of course.

Text back what you prefer, but I bet this is going nowhere.
