"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 doing this right, or am I just screwing up?

Ok here's the story..There's an exgirlfriend of mine, and I'm tryin to get back together with her...We still talk and all that jazz..But the other night, I was talkin to her cousin and he invited me up to a basketball game of his, and told me she would be there..So I went to the game, and sure enough, she was there..

She practically ignored me the entire time..She sat as far away from me as possible at the game..After the game, we went to her house and she continued to ignore me..So I in turn ignored her..She stayed in her room on the computer for the rest of the night, while I sat in the other room with her mom and aunt, played UNO and had a good time..She decided she would spend the night with her cousins and we rode on the way back to my house..We didn't say a word to each other, but when I got dropped off, we both said goodbye..

My question is, did I do the right thing by ignoring her back? We probably didn't say but four words to each other the entire night..
 

"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.

2 things.

1. she wanted you to initiate. how do you know she didnt want you to go in her room where she would be alone with you?
2. did you have a bad breakup? (lots of tension? unspoken words? anything negative of that sort?)

you said your trying to get back with her. your doing a horrible job at it. its like saying you want to get cut so you sign up to the gym, but instead of working out, you just stare at the machines for an hour and go home.

and most people who try to get back together with their ex is because they either had/have one-itus and dont really have any other avenues to go through.

tell me this. do you think you can find another girl? are you scared? is fear holding you back?

deep down you know you can find a girl 2x hotter, smarter, and better than your ex.
