"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.

this isnt really relationship help or even help with asking a girl out. iam not good at reading people (espicelly over the internet) i thought ied post this in the highschool section because iam in that age range so things will still apply. ok so i was playing a game over the internet and then after about 5 or 10 minutes this person asked for my msn we then went on that and talked on and off for about 3 hours.

iam not that good at holding a conversation but i did give a lot more to it then she did now i got the impresion shes not interested or lost interest since she asked for my msn i then left it at that thinking ied never hear from her again.

then the next day i get a message "goodnight (my name) :)" then before i even realise this has happened she is offline. so the next day (today) i get back from school come online and then i try to start up a conversation which results in pretty much the same thing me having to hold the conversation by myself when all the responses i get arent open ended so i cant ask questions about them.

i assume she doesnt want to talk to me and is just being polite and leave it at then. Then a few hours later she starts a conversation and asks how iam doing again i try and hold a conversation but when you dont get decent responses back what can you do .

This is starting to get me very confused i cant see why someone would just ask me (a stranger) for my msn then talk to me and not contribute because if you do that you obviously want to talk (or do you?). Anyway iam basicly asking what are her intentions, i did think for a second she was shy (and she did say she was) allthough i consider myself EXTREMLY shy so i dont really see that as a possability. Basicly ied like to know why she is talking to me then not holding a conversation.

the answer is probably very simple and no doubt ill end up looking like a idiot. thanks.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Umm...you can only be so shy over the internet, some im guessing thats not it. Why do you even care? Its the internet and a stranger. Learn how to talk to people, its that simple.

its more curiosity rather then caring it just puzzles me and yeah i agree about being shy over the internet etc and i can talk to people its just a bit hard when the only responses u get are either ":)" "awww" "lol" or a combination of those.
