"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.

went out after work last night and grabbed a few beers with a couple co-workers. some random girl approaches me and says her friend (had a cute face but a little chubby, looked like that singer Jewel+25 pounds) wants me to buy her a drink. i walked over half buzzed and introduced myself, then proceeded to ask for a diet coke with all the ice he could fit in the glass. She glances towards her friends and says "OHhhhhhkay" and just walked away. now i'm half yelling across the restaurant "hey did you want my FaceBook info? and my friends were dying which probably didn't help my situation

How should i have played this one?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Seems like what happened was that she took you ordering a diet coke took on the offensive side. It may have come off as her offer not being worth as much. You can never go wrong with just ordering a beer. Just a thought.

You're right i just came off as RUDE (being drunk AND around my friends didn't help) I guess i wanted her sht test to blow up in her face and i doubt she'll be asking random guys to buy her drinks.

Looking back maybe she was just shy and wanted to get to know me, but typically in a bar/club setting women tend to open with "will you buy me a drink" and DJing has made me hyper-aware. Sadly some of us take DJing/MM as gospel and act like EVERYONE is sht testing. I probably should have asked her and her friends to join our group then order the drink and get a number. Live and learn right?
