"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.

So, I was chatting with a female friend of mine tonight and basically we started talking about relationships.

She said the most interesting thing ever. Here is our convo paraphrased:

Me: blah blah **something about a girlfriend** blah blah
Her: hmm, I wonder why you'd need a girlfriend
Me: what? why
Her: because you've never really mentioned it.
Me: hmm...yea I don't really broadcast it. So because I haven't said anything I don't need a gf?
Her: well...it's just that it never seemed liek you needed one. You have a lot going on in your life.
Me: hmm...

Yea so this got me thinking. True I am a busy person, but has this hurt my chances? Because I have a life? Let me hear your thoughts on this.

basically your friend was just saying you never mentioned it before , you usually seem busy and like you dont care if you have one or not, you werent hunting for one.

really doesnt add up to a whole lot.

Ya, she's right, you DON'T need a girl friend. And don't act llike it. It's a good thing. She didn't say you COULDN't get one, she said you don't NEED one. She just recognizes you got other **** going on, which is a good thing.
 

"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.

You don't need a girlfriend and that is what she is saying. Why query this?

who cares
its her opinion. who knows if you need a gf or not. if you need a gf youre going to go find one regardless of what she says if you dont, then stay single. i wouldnt worry that much about what girls say.

You got a life? Please help me out with that one. What are your hobbies other than playing with the one-eyed snake? :p
 

"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.

Well I do really well in school. I'm liked ranked #3 of 450 kids. I'm president of 2 clubs. I play varsity tennis. I play piano and guitar. That's about it.
