"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.

Why is it that ex g/f's feel the need to keep in contact long after everything is over and done with. With my two latest, they fell in love w/ me hard, and I hurt them even harder (not intentionally). But yet they make regular contact with me, send me emails, IM's, just to say Hi, how are you doing kinda thing.

It annoys me. It was great the time that we spent together but its over and time to move on. How can I tell them to stop trying to keep their grubby paws out of my life without being rude. Any got any suggestions?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

stop answering their phone calls...or better yet have a female answer when your ex calls and cuss her out.
