"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.

Yeah, I'm all for blocking exes and their friends. Most of those friendships were based on you being with her, and they're more likely to be on her side in the break up. Also, you have to reverse it and think about how you would feel if a girl broke up with you and still wanted contact with your best male friend - chances are, that pill wouldn't be one you'd have an easy time swallowing...
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I did this simply because..

01. I felt there was no going back, she had caused too much damage to try work things out

02. I did not want to fall for the breadcrumbs, as the last time she ended it with me, she called me, and I got back together with her, I got weak, missed her, and tried to sort things out

03. I did not want to be checking my phone all of the time, to see if she calls, or message me.

04. I did not want to be exposed to something that may hurt me, or slow down the healing process
Brilliantly worded and spot on.
