"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 you say "I love you" every time she does?

"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.

Until I know I am dating her exclusively and I think it's going to work out, I just reply with "I know."

I noticed that you said dating and not in a relationship. If she's saying it ALL the time then she has issues. Usually when there's a constant flood of "love" going on then that may mean that person likes you more than you like them. How do you feel about her?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Yellow flag, she's constantly telling you how much she loves you and you're only dating? How long have you been dating? Watch out for this one.

And no you don't have to say it back at all.

Agreed!

The most pathetical thing is life is to see people saying 'I love you' as frequently as they do 'I gotta pee'.

You don't have to say it back, but expect her to say that more and more as her insecurity increases...

I like this girl, so I do want to show her affection. But with how much she says it I feel like I would be showerin her with it. I haven't said it back to her yet, but is that too harsh? I'm just havin trouble finding a middle ground where I can say things like that without her thinkin I'm wrapped around her finger.

say it went you want to. if its excessive cos she is insecure then maybe pay her more attention. if she is low-self esteem its best to walk imo. you are overthinking about being wrapped around her finger, its okay to show love and affection if you like her. most guys in this community lacked love from their mothers and is why they have showing this side of themselves.

I've waited as long as a year and a half to tell a chick I lover her.. keeps it a challenge.

You can show her you love her without saying those words...
 

"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.

Only say it if you mean it. And no I don't. Not to play childish games,or this hard to get non-sense,but sometimes I just smile or kiss my girl back to let her know.

You can say it back. It doesn't mean anything. It will only mean something if you actually back it up. People (not just girls) don't care what you say to them; they care what you do for them and how you act towards them. Show her you love her (if indeed you do, otherwise next her). Other than that, say it as often as you want. Talk is cheap.

Put some thought into a gift/date. Surprise her. Take her somewhere she's never been. Be spontaneous. Live life with her.

Hell no!

Men are supposed to say "I love you too". Also, men are supposed to say some other witty sh*t mixed in with that.
