should I say Happy Ny?
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.
Went NC and she's said Merry Xmas

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I agree, ignore it. She is probably wondering what you are up to but doesn't want to flat out ask you that. Whenever people I like send me "Merry Xmas" I reply "Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too".. When people I don't care about send it, I ignore 100%.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I'm assuming she sent the merry xmas text 8 days ago on christmas?
And you're wondering if you should send a "happy new year" text a day after new years? Seriously...
You need to get out and meet other women; or get a hobby more occupying than women. Continue to ignore her and move on with your life.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Ignore. It's no longer your business to care about what kind of year she has.

But isn't rude of me not to wish her happy new year because she wished me merry Xmas?
I did wish her merry Xmas back and we small talked for a while then she went silent.

No, you move on for your sake, not for hers. You don't care what she might perceive as "rude," you're moving on for you.jackreacher20155 said:
