"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

howdy fellows,

well, been doing some searches on the subject of turning your friend into a semen receptacle (to paraphrase tom cruise in magnolia) and am not finding anything BIBLE-esque on the subject.

any good articles anyone can refer me to?

also, doesn't it sound like a good thing to put in the bible so dumba$$ motherfvcker$ like me don't pepper the boards with this question whenever we find our way to sanctuary? :)

------------------------------------------------------

a thought however:

when women want you as a genuine friend (and it's equitable... she's not using you, etc), it might mean that you've come along in your journey to being a pretty good human being.

you're not a jerk. you don't do passive/agressive stuff. no major personality problems.

but you're still not gettin' to bein' a good MAN yet.

--------------------------------------------------

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Wow that article is superb, I'm amazed I never saw it before. Yeah, I vote that should be in the bible too.

There's a reason for this.

Here's why

Because that's not the best way to find a GF. It rarely happens, and those rare cases are almost always when you don't try.
 

"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.

You got it squirrels...they don't put it in because it doesn't happen LOL, and even when it does it always ends up disasterously......There is a reason you got LJBF'ed my friend, its called low IL, or to be blunt - "I just don't find you attractive enough to fuk"

DOn't believe in that "escape the friendszone" or those "turn friend into girlfriend" articles. Those articles written by idealistic people who probably theorize this is the proper way to do it.

NO.

I have seen cases of friends turning into relationships but ONLY when the GIRL INITIATES IT. The following rules must apply:

1. They must be physically compatible (they both find each other attractive enough)

2. They must be intellectually compatible (they both can talk about whatever subject)

3. The girl ALWAYS initiates it, if the guy initiates it the girl after about a couple days will think "Wow, this guy is making the moves.. but he is taking advantage of our closeness as friends to move this far.. he is a WIMP for not dating me in the first place" - if the girl initiates it.. she is speaking from the bottom of her heart and not out of desperation because girls value friendships highly than guys do.

I was successful at turning a "friend" into something more. But it's definately not the most efficient way to get a woman. The reason it's not in the Bible is because it feeds one-itis and can get the guy into a deeper rut than he's already in.

But what if you are not 'friends' as such, but she knew you as an AFC and then later you become a DJ? Is it possible then?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

It's not THAT difficult to turn a friend into more. But, as others have said, only do it if you're willing to give up on your friendship for ever. It might work out, but then again it usually doesn't. So, attempt at your own risk.
