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.

okay now the title might be a little misleading. i've been with a girl for like 9 months. the longest relationship of my short life. occasionally, she'll say or do something that's spoiled or just generally off-putting, and i'll show distaste/being mildly disappointed with her behavior. (i'm not exactly sure what the feeling is but its not good and she knows whenever it happens) now because of what i've invested in her, these things are not worth dumping her over, but im not exactly sure how to work on this issue. im still in high school ( im posting here cuz no one ever goes to the hs forum) so it might be just cuz im still a dramatic type teenager, but can you guys offer any advice on the situation?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

So, your question is your girlfriend does some things to p!ss you off. Or ruin your mood. And you want to know how to handle it?

Just speak your mind with her.
