"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.

Here are a few approaches that I made today. I'll show you 1 of them and post a few more after wrestling...

Approach 1:
Me: Hey, you girls excited for the game? I tell you you got to watch out for those cheerleaders though, I hear they like hit pretty girls with pom poms, of course you girls don't have to worry about that though.
[The girls laugh]
Me: So what are your names?
Girl1: I'm Rachel.
Girl2: I'm Tina.
Girl3: I'm Aisha.

Blah blah all that talk...

Me: Well, I hope to see you guys there. Don't dissapoint me.
[They laugh]
Approach #2
So I go into this set of girls and when I sit down this guy there starts talking to me and makes small talk, eventually getting up and moving to another table. Then from the beggining bad news comes in, this guy who's always AMOGing comes into this set. I made a mistake and reacted to that saying "Ryan, why are you such a ****block man?" then this other dude I knew there said "Yeah, Ryan, why are you such a ****block?". Pass that, I started talking to the set and it didn't go too well.

Me: So are any of you going to the game? Yeah, you got to watch out for those cheerleaders though I hear they like to hit people with pom poms and stuff during 3rd quarter.
Girl in the set: I'm a cheerleader.
Me: Well is that true?
[She looks at me and says...]
Girl: I'm not a cheerleader.
[And she laughs, but I don't, because I thought that was stupid]
Me: Well, that was cute I guess.
Girl: Are you retarded?
Me: Like I said I hear they like to throw pom poms and sh*t.
That's how that went. Don't know if "Are you retarded?" was a sh1t test or not but I didn't let it blow me off guard. But I became a helluva reactive later in the set, when I see that the girls aren't talking to me and became sort of desperate.

Approach # 3
So I'm walking and I see this Jacquie girl walking with a few of her friends and I say...

Me: Hey, are you excited for this game tonight?
[Kind of messed up here]
Jacquie: Yeah, but the game is Saturday night this week.
Me: Duh.
[Probably another mistake]
Jacquie: Yeah, aren't you excited Taylor?
Taylor: Yeah.
Me: Hmm... you guys don't seem to look all that excited, give me your best cheer right now.
Jacquie: Go [School Team Name]!
Me: Well that was kind of bad. I'd hope you guys would do it louder than that during the game.
[As she walks towards her locker]
Jacquie: Yeah, see ya.
Chick totally wasn't even interested here.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

My bed, your girl.
omg #2 was a b!tch.. you shoulda negged her when she asked if you're retarded, because the line you said after makes you look bad since you're trying to cover up from getting hit with that "are you retarded" line.
those are really hard sometimes because you have to make something up on the spot to hit back with. btw if a girl even says that it's like an automatic next because you're not even friends with her yet and she doesn't like ya...

one more thing I would have you change is to laugh with her even if you thought that was stupid, something like "damn... haha that was a good one.. but I bet you didn't know that I'm a cheerleader!!"

I probably couldn't pull that off, thats an example. the technical thing though is to laugh with her to show some interest and to acknowledge her, then add in some C+F to show her some of your medicine, also showing that you're fun and can play around with jokes.

a key idea: be wittily creative and don't be arrogant or naieve
