"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.

Went to a party last night. Kissed a girl, not very long (****block friend dragged her away). Both drunk. I was sucking on her lip. I got her name, but not her number. I don't like kissing random people. Hell, I'm not even sure if she remembers it. You know? I feel like such a little man***** now. We go to the same university, but it's a big one and I don't think I'll see her again. Kind of sucks.

Anyone know what they would do in this situation? How about some words of comfort?
 

"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.

Go home, take a hot bath, and get yourself a few pints of Ben & Jerry's.

Then, put on either Titanic or The Notebook or The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Or do it again, and block the ****blockers better in the future so you can get some tang.

Words of comfort? Stop being a dbag. Stop acting like a chick.

I think you should take the "man" out of the topic title
