"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.

I've started an opinion blog, and part of its content will be question and answer, I.E. a man's version of Dear Abby. PM me questions to answer on the blog (I'll change the names manually for anonyminity purposes if I post them)

It will be a column of two types. If you want the a-hole answer (for comedy purposes), put "To The Bastard:" in the title. If you want a serious answer, write "Serious answer needed:" in the title. If it has neither one, I'll answer as one or the other depending on my mood at the time, so put neither one in the title if you want me to surprise you.

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.
