"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.

Well I was at school today and I made 2 approaches.

Approach # 1
So I’m walking around before first period and I talk to these 2 cheerleaders by their lockers.

Me: Hey, so I know you guys are excited for the game tonight.
Girl1: Yeah, I am!
Me: Really? You don’t look too excited.
Girl1: Well, I am excited for it.
Me: Well let me test you to really see if you’re excited. Show me your best game face.
[Girl2 laughs]
Girl1: Well… I don’t know, but I am excited.
Me: Well, I’ll see you guys at the game. If you see me don’t just pass me up though, say something.
Girls: We will.
[I leave]
Girls: Bye!
Approach # 2
So I was at lunch and I approached this one girl.
Me: Hey! So I know you’re excited for the football game tonight!
Girl: Yeah, I am.
Me: What I can’t hear you speak up.
Girl: Oh I said yeah I am.
Me: So let’s say theoretically you see me at the football game, I want you to say “Hey Mike!” to me.
Girl: I’ll definitely do that!
Me: So you will?
Girl: Yeah! Let’s pinky square on it!
[She puts her pinky out]
Me: What’s pinky squaring?
[I put my pinky and cross it with hers]
Girl: Cool.
Me: Yeah, I do band.
Girl: Really? What do you play?
Me: Saxophone. Yeah, I might say something to you if I see you but I might be too busy.
Girl: Cool.
Me: Well what classes do you have though?
[And she starts ignoring me despite being all interested before, while I talk]
Me: Well, I’ll see you at the game.
Girl: Definitely!
Pretty good here, although it was pretty weird when the second one turned her head after showing all that interest.
 

"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.

Yeah I just wonder why the second set started to ignore, maybe a sh*t test?(SHE intiates kino and interest and then she ignores ME?)

Sounds like the second one went on too long. She was interested and there and then she drifted off. You had that one topic about the game and she was hooked and then you went into classes and maybe thats where it should have stopped. Either way really nice. Did you flirt with any of those girls at the game?
