"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've been with my GF for almost a year now (Dec 15) and she keeps hounding me about getting her one of those ipod touch things for X-Mas.

I'm not too excited about dishing out $300, although she keeps saying she wants to spend a crapload on me. The problem is, I'm about 98% Athiest and it would be hypocritical to not believe in the true meaning of x-mas yet expect to benefit from the commericial side of the holiday.

So I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger or not. I might try to get her something less expensive, but more creative and thoughtful (and that looks expensive.)

Any ideas?

Also, I'm trying to figure out something to get her parents as well.
 

"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.

be a man of principal and tell her that you are atheist and that you think it would be hypocritical to benefit from the commercial side of the holiday when you do not believe in the holiday.

i would never spend big cash on someone that i was just dating either, especially on one present.

Has she earned it? Sure give her one, but only if she really really earned it. Then you can borrow money from her and never return it.


For father, give him a chess or backgammon board with figures or bumerang, or a Ninja sword.. For mom, a receipe book.. But again, have they earned it.. If not, you will come off as a nice guy.
