"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.

After spending a year in northeast Atlanta my lease is up and my roommate lost his job so there is no longer any reason to stay here (I was basically living for free, for serving an extra serving of dinner every night and paying the electric bill, so it was a good deal).

My next job(s) are work at home. So I can move. I haven't had nearly the same luck in Atlanta as I did in Houston, Austin, Dallas or even Silicon Valley, so I'm wondering where to move next.

In the poll above people can pick their favorite two choices. Note many choices are simply based on proximity.
 

"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.

Bigneil if you move to Dallas let me know because I want to learn more about it. This weekend in Vegas I met 4 girls from TX who were really friendly and told me I should move out there. It was almost like a sign on something.

You now know what Texas women are like. They are the best. Most women nationwide couldn't even get a date in Texas, and no rude women can. Part of it is that in Texas you can get laid in most strip clubs for $400 or less, so many strippers will date you for free, and non-hookers can't push men around like they can in most states. Texas women have to provide a good value to compete, so they tend to be very pretty and sweet and smart. Hardly any other states offer that combination.

I considered San Antonio. Never been there. Dallas has nice spots but it's not a pretty area. It's Atlanta minus the trees.

I learned yesterday that my Dallas girl moved to Tampa, which is only 100 miles further than Pensacola from Atlanta. So I might drive down there, but not unless she begs me. I want to hit the ocean and then head back to Texas. Last time I lived in Florida it was hard to find work. It might be a coincidence. Texas is a good central location for someone who travels. Most software jobs don't advertise as such, but are mostly work at home these days.

Anywhere west of the Mississippi river. Colorado, Oregon, or Montana are my faves.
 

"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.

yesssssssssss I was shocked
Once you can get past the far left Bernie Sander lover politics, there is a lot to love about the Northwest. People are relatively laid back, not judgmental, not much of the keeping up with the joneses nonsense you see on the coasts and in southern cities, and it is very safe.

I'm sure the attitude there has.... nothing to do with the "far left Bern Sander lover politics," eh?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
