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.

Lately, I've been having some trouble with my myspace/facebook game. I'll start girls off with various openers and then question their adventurousness/craziness with "what's the craziest thing you've ever done" etc. Some reply with the craziest thing they've done. However, about 70% use some lame cop out like "oh, i haven't really done anything crazy" or something along those lines.

I've been countering that by negging them a bit and then telling them one of my badass skydiving stories or the time i almost got caught having sex in my ex-gf's bedroom. Then it usually get's a good reply, but nothing that's overly exciting and almost ALWAYS they never ask any return. More than anything else, this is happening to me a lot whether i go the "what's the craziest thing you've done" route or not. The conversation just dead ends whether its just a sentence or two reply from them and no return questions about me, or saying they're not that adventurous. Bottom line, I can't get them to open up to me unless I tell them stories about myself EVEN after I ask them questions. This is at the point also where it's too soon to just ask for the number after 2 messages or so, so I need a little something else to get that fire going until i get to the phone.a

Are there certain tones/questions you take more than others when you want girls to open up?

If this post made any sense, let me know. lol

"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've had similar happen to me. Where I am the one keeping the conversation going, and they only answer my questions but don't really add anything to the convo themselves.

A girl that is genuinely interested in you will ask you things about yourself, because she wants to get to know you obviously. If she is not doing that, then she's probably not interested and maybe just chatting with you out of boredom. If some other guy comes along who they actually are interested in, she'll vanish and stop replying to you altogether.

Ahh, the first line was what i was trying to organize my scattered thoughts into. Exactly, some of the girls I'm talking to aren't really adding anything to the convo, rather it's me adding a lot. However, maybe I'm not asking the right questions though? Because obviously a girl might not be really interested right away, you've gotta build some connection to get her to open up. Maybe it's the questions that i'm not asking up to that point?
