"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.

So, I'm hanging out with one of my friends, just drinking and playing computer games on a fridaynight/saturday morning...

come home at 3 in the morning. Around noon, I get up and check my phone... I had a call from a girl I've been talking to at 2 in the morning. I was like NOOOO!!!! How the hell did I miss that? Maybe it was cause my phone was on vibrate mode and it was in my jacket which I had taken off. So, I try calling her today but no one's picking up.

Why else would a girl whom I have shown interest in call me at 2 in the morning?
 

"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.

she was probably drunk, horny and was calling for a booty call.

I think she was calling you at 2am to ask if you had any sleeping pills!! Why in the heck would a girl call a man at 2am!:) I'm being sarcastic! Thank Julian for being so concise in his delivery.

Your blind, aren't you? Ok, you missed the call on a friday night at 2am. Obviously, she thinks your out doing something, and too busy. So, next time you call her, insead of you jumping at her last sudden booty call, she's going to be even more interested since she didn't get you the first time.

Think outside of the box ;)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
