"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'm thinking about asking this girl out on a date. The problem is, I don't have any good ideas. Yes, I realize there's always dinner and a movie but that's boring. I'm a 20 year old college student, so bars are out of the option.

Also, I don't want to take them to parties. In my opinion, parties are where you MEET people, not where you take dates.

And there are no good dance clubs around. This town really sucks as far as underage entertainment is concerned. This is why I need advice.

The best things I currently have are ice cream and bowling. Anything else?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
An action date is always the best idea for the first date. You said bowling, and that's not a bad choice at all. Otherwise, think about these:

Batting Cages
Tennis
Pool
Mini-Golf
Amusement Park
Carnival
Zoo

How about something not so predetermined? I find the best dates are the ones that are done without the thought.

Take her for a walk around the park or something. Tell her last minute you're going into the city (wherever that may be) and you wouldn't mind some company.

Women love dates that are not set in stone. They want to be shown things. They want to be lead. They don't want to go on a date knowing exactly what's going to happen.

It's winter. If there's an ice skating rink around and you can hold your own, presto. Really depends on the girl and what your impression of what she might be interested in is, but I find that action dates, especially where you know what you're doing, are GOLD.
 

"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.
