"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.

"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.

dont even worry. I would only be concerned if she would never date other guys. Feel free to buy her some condoms in case she needs them!!!... you know with the other guys of course... since you are not getting any.

Explain what you mean by dates. I'm seeing a girl now we are not physical but we hang out. She says she has a BF but I've never seen him and she barely mentions him. There are no pics of them on facebook either (Though her status says she's in a relationship). So, is she trying to hide these dates from you? Are things good between you and her? I guess normally most people would say that's not ok (if you can get the hints from the sarcasm of the guys who have responded so far, lol) but I think a lot of times the context of something helps clarify the situation.
For example if you get along with a certain co-worker of the opposite sex (You have a GF) and you take lunch together is it necessarily a bad thing even though some may say it is a date? So, give more details please.
 

"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.

Maybe then again we should ask if the OP is sure the girl is his GF to begin with. I think some people assume that because they've been F'ing a girl for a period of time that she is now his GF. Did they have the talk etc?
