"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.

I'll begin by saying that I seriously, seriously, screwed up. I'm talking, behaviour so bizarre that Tom Cruise's recent shenanigans wouldn't raise a single brow in comparison. I wanted so bad not to lose her, that I did everything TO lose her. That kinda thing.

Anyway, I scared her off. Either that, or she hooked up with someone else a little more grounded, but I definately did a lot of wrong things, and I take full blame (well, the alcoholic shell I was living under didn't help). Duh. I didn't hear from her for a month, and I was too ashamed of myself to even attempt contacting her.

I spent that time re-evaluated things, and made a lot of changes in my life, and I quickly bounced back and started acting like myself again.

Then, just when I thought it was safe, she sends me a text message. She indirectly asked me out to see a movie. I questioned her sudden interest, assuming that she was terrified of me, and also told her that I had already seen it. She tells me that she needed time to get over it (IE: whoever she hooked up with must not have done it for her). She also said that she misses me, and that we should get together sometime. I reply with a simple "Oh", and let it go, for now.

Now, she's either still interested in me (she must be a masochist), she got dumped and needs some validation, or she's plain just fvcking about with my head.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what she does next, and hope I don't revert back into a mong.
 

"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.

If she dumped you, then you seriously cannot expect anything serious out of this. I believe Antidump here. When a girl says "It's over" you are now a loser in her eyes, and nothing you can ever do in the future, can get her to have a serious committed relationship with you. Do you just want to play around with her, not too serious? Go ahead, that's okay But for the love of god, don't get attached to a girl that's dumped you, and don't expect a relationship.
Cause if she comes back and says "I miss you, I want to see you", then basically what's she's saying is:

"Well Now that I know that I can dump you and you'll still be here when I get back, you'll do basically anything I want! YAY! I have a lapdog".

If it was me, no matter how hard, I would say no. Just no. Not now, not ever.
