"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.

Do people who are attracted/hung up over someone generally avoid them more?

Is it just me or does it appear that people who have a harder time with rejection OR have fear of rejection generally avoid that person...of course its easy not to care about it if you really dont care (or are over that person).

Anyway I've had my times iwth the ex, and after the breakup when she would contact me, i would ignore or avoid her..it was tough then. She wanted to get back together but i didnt want to take the risk again. I finally got over her.

Thereafter we met a couple times and hung out. I didnt make a move cause i just wanted to be friends. shortly after that if she'd see me online, she would immediately put her away message. shortly she stopped going online and so did I. A couple weeks ago i called and we met up. Even then when i saw her online it was ok to talk to her. And again I just want to be friends with her. And since then whenever I go online she puts her away message up.

sigh..i have a hard time being friends with girls.
 

"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.

Why would someone who is attracted to you run away from you?

Attraction: the force by which one object attracts another

Attracts, NOT repells. See the difference? You're thinking of repulsion, you got the words mixed up. Its a common mistake. Like spelling the word "tomato" as the word "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis".

Very easy mistake.

Sounds like she's playing games with you to get you back.
Maybe you're the only one she talked to online and now she has nothing to do?

You are a KB Jockey... get your head out of the bible and see the world for what it really is:
A bunch of people using each other for their personal desires.

I know. I was being sarcastic.

But in relation to the OP... sounds to me (from his writing) that the girl lost interest and is simply avoiding him after their last encounter.

Avoiding completely usually isn't a game. Its the end of one.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Based on your responses it doesnt sound like you have much expreince with women. I take it you dont know what happens when you LJBF a girl, and then out of the blue they avoid you. Or what happens after a break up and both play the game because they dont want to admit they want each other back.

She isnt avoiding me completely, but she will answer my calls or call me back.
In essence I think she's just trying to be less available. I've had this happen with purely female friends who are single.

I'm doing the same thing right now actually to a girl. I'm not going to admit i like her, because i can't.
It's a power struggle of who has the control. You give in... you lose.

See it's all a game. The matrix has you.

matrix..right..fortunately its just fictional.

It's easier for a guy to escape the friends zone than a girl. Once a guy feels the girl isnt phsyically attractive, there's little she can do to improve that department.

A guy on the other hand can improve his game, dress better, be less available, become ambitious/successful, etc., and if he's lucky have a personality makeover. And attraction is built from the ground up.
