"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 did the "typical, dreaded" dinner date. Yuck! I can't believe guys actually enjoy doing this ****. The good news is she paid a little over half. Mirroring didn't seem to have a lot of affect on her. She was in a closed guard with arms crossed at one point. I used some funny stories to defeat this negative body language. Palm reading worked beautifully as normal. She fell for all the standard stories. The waiter ws actually semi-cool, and kind of had her interest talking about wine.

The bad news? Her house turned out to be 45 minutes away, so my plan to suggest renting movies was withheld. I think I had a couple too many drinks and blabbed her ear off. The restaruant was really great, though. If I'm ever in this area again, I'd eat there myself :) The bar afterwards sucked, and I made a mistake by focusing on her instead of entertaining the bar. I thought maybe since she was older she'd respond more to that. bad idea. Next time I'll try entertaining everyone to show more value/make her friends bragg about me.

Lessons Learned:
1. Even older women place more value on how other people respond to you than how much you pretend to care about her crap.
2. Learn different kinds of wines before going out with affluent, older women. Know how to pronounce the names correctly.
3. Make sure there is some way to isolate or don't bother showing up. Venue change with no way to isolate=crap. Having to make another drive later is too much trouble. Always be able to fclose on the first date.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Just out of curiosity, out of your experience and knowledge, how often do fcloses really happen on first dates? cause I just can't see them happening, at least with girls around my age.
