"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.

It doesn't seem like you are hearing us. Friends is NOT ok. Repeat NOT ok. What you can and should do is treat her like any other person you come in incidental contact with. Be polite, be cordial, and interact with at the bare minimum. You are heretolearn. If so then follow our advice. :)


Thanks, I am learning and applying what you guys are saying. I consider friend in this instance to be polite, cordial and minimum contact :)

Not friends for me would be 0 contact/interaction.

Stupidity would be anything beyond politeness and minimum contact lol
 

"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.

FRIEND: "one attached to another by affection or esteem. A favored companion"

Friends have meals together, do activities together, socialize with each other, share their lives.

So you really mean, not being "friends", but being "civil" with each other.

When a girl says, "let's be friends", it's not like she's actually expecting you to show up at her sleepover party Saturday night.

Being civil means you'll be nicely mannered, cordial and graceful. If you come across her you'll smile and say "Hi! How are you?" and 30 seconds later you'll say, "Great to see you. I have things to do, so, see you around!" and leave and you will never discuss anything of any other nature with her ever again, nor will you share anything about your life and what you're doing, as it's not her business.

This will also empower you because it puts you in control of yourself and your circumstances. You do not permit people who betray you to be your "friends". Love yourself more then that. If you don't, no one else will.
