Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Alright i tried to do it the most non-assholish way but... they wouldn't leave me alone... I'll try again 2morrow. You guys are so lucky having problems getting friends. I mean you don't seem like an ******* when you get friends but soon as you try to lose them then they pull the ******* card.
 

"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.

You BUY the relationship, NOT build one pook's reiteration of AD's machine.

Your playing both roles in the subject. You are the man calling the b!tch shots, as well as the man calling NEXT.

You have the pick of the litter my friend, time to choose your friends. The battle has not yet begun.

Good luck. You must be strong, you must stop acting the whiny b!tch all my friends keep saying hi to me technique. We don't like it here, we call it AFC.

PS to crossboss. I was the quiet kid who read newspapers(or tried to) as a kid. Never really had friends, picked on everyday and beatup every other. I was an ultimate AFC. Went through higschool being among the top 3 losers to ever set foot on the ground of cool. I was the guy who sympathized with the worst of the AFC's got wrapped up with the scam artists, and totally supplicated to everything my parents taught me. I started rebelling when I found video games, skipped school a few times to go play them(damn did my heart beat back than, wish I could go back to that innocence).

Than one day my oneitis committed suicide. Been an aspiring DJ since.

Tell me the situation, what were you doing and what where they doing. You need to tell me all of the details so I can tell you what you need to do.

Your friend,
