"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.

Am I being suckered into being a "pseudo-boyfriend"?

Long story short:

-girl I knew from a long time ago meets up with me
-we have tons of fun, a lot of similar interests
-she thinks this is great; mentions all the things we have to do together
-she's in a long-distance relationship
-Over the last 4 months, she'll text me for dinner or movies, etc. I haven't met up with her for any of it except for that first time.
-Is she just using me to fill the gap while her bf is out of state without any of the benefits?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

4 months is wayyyyyy too long dude. It's one thing to not show neediness, but at the same time you have to keep her interested. You push the envelope until you get resistance, 4 months is way too long to sit and analyze her
 

"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.

Reason it was so long is because after that first meetup, I decided to forget about her and move on with my other things. I made a good enough first impression that she would still text me, but it wasn't until recently that I decided to give this another go.

Shes in an ltr just bang her. She needs to fill a void in her life. That void is sex.

Right now she sees you as her GAY best friend. Try and get her into bed and if that fails then just ignore her and focus on other females.

It sucks that it seems like I was automatically put in those terms (whether due to her having a boyfriend or not). I don't think I'm skilled enough to try to bed someone who has already seen me like that yet, so I'll probably just ignore her again.
