"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.

So I've been with this girl for around a year now. We get into a fight the other day because I get a call from a blocked number, which she assumed was a girl(I didn't get to the phone fast enough to answer).

Then she started totally freaking out and said that she wished she was still with her ex boyfriend. I guess they had a pretty long and serious relationship, although he sounds like a bit of a loser to me.

Afterwards she said she didn't mean it that way and she just wished i didn't get phone calls like he never did.

Now I've found out that her ex has been trying to contact her, although she hasn't had any contact with him....yet.

Your opinions? I'm considering dumping her because things seem to be heading towards the ****ter.
 

"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.

Why the hell is she freaking out over a blocked number call? Red Flag right there.

Mentioning her ex who still seems to be into her and how she wish she was with him? Red Flag

You can find better girls who don't have trust issues and still think about their ex. Her being so mistrustful might be because of her having her own shady mindset.

Beware of being the Rebound Guy.

But I think our fellow here is so used to pointing this out, that he didn't realize you have been with this girl for a YEAR.

Thing is . . . didn't telemarketing scams or international calling exist when she was dating this other guy? Seriously, did she check every last single call on this guy's phone while she was dating him and correlate it with an "allowed" caller?

Go ahead. Ask her if she did that. The answer is, of course not. The reason being, she wasn't constantly hunting and hunting for things to accuse him of. She only does that for you. Doesn't that make you feel special?

Let me guess: he dumped her?

But did you realize that her ex had been in touch with her recently? Why else would she bring up the ex so readily?

Perhaps she had considered going back at some point? Either way, she has some unresolved ex-issues and our bud here is paying the price. Would it be a surprise if her ex did something similar with not answering a phone call because he had been cheating on her? :whistle:

This is the CLASSIC, I'm gonna accuse you of cheating move so that I can break up with you and move on to the guy I've been cheating on you with. (or about to start fvcking again). Chicks do this all the time. Its one of their old stand by's, which has gotten replaced by the overt branch swinging alot of the time as they've gotten bolder.

I guarantee it. I would dump her first, then cut off all contact. That will drive her nuts, whatever you do, don't give in.

You know its already going downhill, why drag it out, if you leave now, you'll feel so much better and move on that much easier.

don't hang around and be reactive like the typical AFC and wait to be dumped by her. be proactive and dump her now and consider it a blessing.

can you do better than her?

that's what i thought.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

said that she wished she was still with her ex boyfriend
If I had heard this, she instantly would be demoted to fvck buddy when I'm horny status. Emotional ties would instantly be severed.

I know, I know, easier said than done, but I will not allow myself to be played like a chump, no matter how hot she is and no matter how much it hurts.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

been in ur shoes. my ex cried while looking at his facebook. which she logged on her friends account to see. then swore she had no feelings for him but just wished he was happy and it made her sad he wasnt. 3 week after i dumped her she was not only ****ing him and dating him but they were "back" in love.

my advice...get the **** out of dodge.
