"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 thought that the whole thing was a bit absurd. I feel sorry for the poor fiancee.
That's always a tough call for me. Should I feel sorry for him for being so goddam clueless, or should I say he's getting what he deserves?

Without knowing the other side of things, it's hard to make this call.

My game is good. Too good it seems if I can get a date with an engaged woman. LOL
This is where you define your lines and morals. I've been in the same situation. A woman I was working with had invited me over to her house to watch a movie. She was horny and willing, but I didn't go through with it. She wasn't even all that attractive, and I wasn't consciously working "game" on her. She was contemplating ditching her AFC fiance for me (I would have turned her down). Even worse, I knew her fiance. Although he was an AFC, he was a decent guy and I got along with him quite well. I never let on about the "movie nights", and I'm sure his fiance didn't either.
 

"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.

Sometimes I wish my morals were that strong. Boredom seems to get the better of me. I probably would have invited her back to my place for that ice cream. Fcucked the hell out of her and sent her on her way. I don't know why I do what I do.

and I respect the fact you did not push it further like most men do. but I will see you around!
Geeeeez... she knew what she was in for. Maybe she "respects" it, but judging by her response she sure doesn't like it! :rolleyes: It's too bad for her you didn't push it further like most other men have. That's what she wanted after all. Or maybe she just wanted ice cream? :whistle:

lol! I respect that! and I respect the fact you did not push it further like most men do. but I will see you around! You are a very sweet and intelligent man.
You know, I also think this translates to:

Lol! You dumbass! You could have fvcked me if you wanted to. Other men have. But I'll give you a second chance if you ever change your mind! I really like you.

I met this woman and her daughter in the park 2 weeks ago week. We chatted for a while and exchanged e-mail addresses. We seemed to have pretty good chemistry.

I shot her an e-mail inviting her to have Ice cream with me. Here is her reply.

"Ice Cream sounds good. but I have to tell you i'm soon to be married. but an ice cream cone will not hurt. I love ice cream!"


I'm feeling a little funny about this. My mistake for not probing properly. What would be the best thing to do? Should I just bow out? Just go on the date? Send some sort of reply?
This is a classic! She's either having second thoughts about her man(possibly because of you) or she's throwing you a curve to see if you really like her. Go.:cool: What's the WORST thing that can happen?
