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.

*Disclaimer* I am either over-thinking this or just stupid.

So I knew this girl for a few months and we were being friends/flirty for a few months. I believe I had oneitis for her, but then I recently just decided to stop playing since I had better things to do and she would just front all the time about hanging out and going out. So I stopped answering her texts and she didn't talk to me anymore.

So around this time last month she texted me about hanging, but I was busy and didn't really care to answer. And then at the beginning of this month she texted me that she misses me. I didn't answer that either. And now today, she texted me an inside thing we have, probably knowing I would answer. And I did :/ My oneitis was back for a few minutes of talking to her.

Now my question is, does this girl like me or is she just bored and I've become her "when I'm bored text buddy"? She is 5 years older than me and always claims she "never texts first". But clearly she does, and to a younger dude at that.

So again, either Im overthinking and just being dumb, or all that time of not talking to her has made her actually miss me. Idk. I have no experience whatsoever with girls, dating, or pickup so I am here for some advice.

What do you guys recommend I do?

Thanks!!

p.s. not sure if this belongs in the High School forum since I am 17? :nervous:
 

"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.

Just forget her. You say you went NC on her and she reciprocated. Why go no contact if you are going to end it now? I see this situation as the you pointed out.

If anything, just out her to hang out. If she agrees then good, if not, then forget her.
Yeah I thought a little bit and that's totally it. She's also a conniving ***** and now I know why a lot of the dudes I know who know who she is basically hate her. Thanks Roumie! I am going to proceed with NC from now on. :rockon:
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
