"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 don’t know what to do in this scenario and would like some input.

Every year since 2016 I’ve gone with my kids, their friends, and my kids mom trick or treating. Her live in bf stayed back and handed out candy.

She now has a baby with him so I know he’ll come along with their new baby. I really don’t want to be around it at all. I love Halloween with my kids but their mom was enough to deal with and now I gotta deal with him and this fake a$& happy make believe.

What would you do?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

The door to door candy handout volume will most likely be down this year due to the virus.
It’s a good Out to use for something you shouldn’t be Ex family group doing to start with.
If you still want to do that type of event, arrange for two outings, one for you and your kids and one for them with your kids.

How about you take the kids to a relatively fast trunk or treat if one is available near you, then take them back early enough for them to do their door 2 door minus you, and you step out somewhere else to celebrate a job well done.

Allowing him to build a relationship with them will probably be a good thing, depending on her as a mother.

Plus, any tension situations involving people you have to deal with, better off to leave the tension.

He'll probably be in your shoes soon enough by the sounds of things.

Usually Halloween trick or treating hours are 2-4 hours long. Why don't you just split the hours 2 for you and 2 for her while having a designated meet up.

Why don't you just take your kid and cut more contact than necessary?
 

"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.

Yes that’s what I’m going to do with Halloween. It was like a weight off my shoulders when I told her because of the dread I had going over there.

Why not forever?
This is the only time of the year I had to spend any time over there. I’m def going to miss seeing my kids and they weren’t happy when I told them I wouldn’t be there but this has got to be the way. I literally have no choice.
