"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 think I remember reading on here somewhere that concert dates are bad....

:crackup:

A good 30 minute drive either way allowed for some good convo. The concert itself was incredible...plenty of chance for kino, getting very close to her to tell her something because of how loud it was, and she loved the music, despite never hearing it before.

Me and her clicked right away. She let me use her chapstick when leaving for the concert and shared a water with me. Getting back from the concert to drop her off, we were still in the car and she gave me a hug and said thanks. I said, "Wait a minute," grabbed her and we made out for a couple minutes before she stumbled out the door and went inside.

Pretty good, if I do say so myself. :D
 

"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.

Seems either I got ahead of myself or something happened in between, because this went from hot to cold in no time.

Last Thursday in class I let her know that I was going to be tied up until the next Thursday, so we should hang out on that Friday since our schedules don't match up all that well. I also said I'd give her a call on the weekend.

I called Sunday night and didn't leave a message, because I hate leaving them and don't even leave them for friends. Tuesday night I called and left a short message. No call back. I see her Thursday in class, and on our walk out of the class I try to warm her up a bit with some jokes and whatnot. I ask her if we're still on for Friday night, and she says she's made plans with her friends. I joke with her some more and then ask when her next free time is after Friday, and she says she doesn't know.

So now it's obvious that she's no longer interested, and it could be due to a million different things. It's just really surprising given the energy she had the other night while making out. :p

The only thing I can think of to do now is freeze her out in class (no initiated convos on my behalf, but I'll answer her if she asks something), and try to get another girl or my hot TA laughing. So I'll be moving on but looking to see if there's any change on her part.

Any advice or disection? The only thing that really comes to mind is that because she's 19, she might've gotten pissed that I didn't call her the day after the concert, and so she nexted me. :down:

This happened because you had no chance to build solid repore. IE, she got buyer's remorse after making out with you.

According to mystery method, you have to do attraction 1 2 3, comfort 1 2 3, seduction 1 2 3, in the correct order or else things like this will happen.

Sounds like you jumped into comfort 3 way before she was ready, and so she felt bad for making out with a guy she barely knew.

Check out Mystery Method for more info.

I'm not really that familiar with Mystery Method outside of what was in The Game.

I talked with her for about 30 minutes the first time I met her (in class, after class), and over an hour the night of the date before getting the kiss close from her. It just seems hard to believe that that was moving too fast. Could you explain more?
