Wassup ladies and gents I just have a minor question/observation. Ive been talking /messing with a girl since my senior yr of college. We've never been in a relationship but we talk often (almost every week) and have messed around alot most recently last year since we live in different cities. Im low-key starting to dislike her as a person for her masculine vibe. Most recently I've noticed she's in competition with me/ she tries to belittle me in a subtle way. Since graduation I've always been successful. profession wise & professional organizations I'm an accountant and she works in the medical field (nurse supervisor). Unfortunately I was laid off due to the pandemic and for other reasons (possibility of moving to another city due to taking care of elderly family) I'm currently driving uber. She was laid off her job as well but I've noticed she always trying to brag to me about her accomplishments, her purchases, or she's trying to lowkey look down on me because of my current situation..even though we both know it's temporary. I also tell her about my goals (career goals - get into investment banking):and she tries to blow them off in a subtle way/act like she's better than me. Before y'all say I'm hating. I would never be jealous about anyone esp a woman.. I've just noticed her true nature and it's really starting to turn me off as a person..mind you she always talks about how "I'm her alpha, and how she learns from me" which I ultimately don't feed into her words. But why do y'all think she's lowkey acting funny to me.. plus I've never done or Said any lame stuff to her and any time she crossed the line I've checked her as well
"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 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.

As "friends" alot of them keep us around to "compete". It's what they do to each other. They bully each other. They almost hate each other alot of the times.

She sounds like a biatch. If I were you, I'd meet her just to bang and keep the conversation to a minimum.

You want people in your life that will push you to grow emotionally, professionally, spiritually, financially...etc....and you do the same for them. Strong boundaries will only accept win/win situations to develop in their lives.
I like Jordan Peterson's take on how to know if you have good friends. They will celebrate your wins with you and commiserate your defeats and give you a lift to get back up (as opposed to those who will try to top your wins or tell you about someone they know who did the same or better )
It sounds like her time has run out.
"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.
women are silly and cute
she wants you to spank her , that is why she tries to annoy you
and I am serious about it

in it."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.
