"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I've been having this problem for a while with a current female intrest. She and I hit it off pretty well around the third time we met and actually got to chat for a bit. Problem being is that her best friend whom I've known for a couple of years through other friends is so into me that even I am able to recognize this. I have zero intrest in this girl and thought I made it pretty clear to her. However, since she realized her friend and I hit it off she is doing anything and everything to sabotage the two of us having anykind of alone time. This includes guilting her into going to the bar for an aquantice's birthday instead of a movie night at her house alone. She's even physically placed herself between us at parties. It's sad really......

Anyone have any advice on how to handle this problem?
 

"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.

I'd disappear - drop both of them like cold turkey for a month. Come back and see what happens. Pursue other women.

no, don't do that.

First tell the girl that you like what's on your mind.

If that doesn't help, then tell c0ck block to back the fug off.

Naw, if she's listening to her friend instead of you, forget them both.

Point it out with ****y humor. Next time it happens:

"Whoah, tell your friend there's enough of me to go around."
"Man, your friend is so blatantly jeleous of me, she might push you down a flight of stairs, look out!"

If that doesn't help, then tell c0ck block to back the fug off.
Hah, no, I doubt she'll do that. No point in even telling her.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I'd pretty much already decided that I was probably going to just move on and leave it at that. My stubborness to not let the friend win is the only thing that's kept me from it. I've actually brought it up to her before and the only response was "I know, I know" but nothing was solved.

Glad to know you guys agreed with me.
