"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

It's not that she has someone else. but the things she does it urks me. she moved like a year ago, about an hour drive, so i expect things to be different. before we used to have sex everyday, now i'll be lucky to get it once every one or two weeks when she comes over. no more oral from her for a few months now. if it is, it's out of pitty. she still calls me everday once or twice,but that doesn't do anything for me. we talk for about 5 minutes. i don't know why, not having sex frustrates me. she comes over every one or 2 weeks, and when she does she says she too tired to "do anything"(have sex), but she up and ready to go out and party, when i ask her she wants to go out. she doesn't get on top anymore, and she's waiting for me to finish. she doesn't seem to be intersted anymore. it's driving me nuts. i haven't picked up my phone for 2 days now, since she left back home. what's the best route to get thing rolling again.
 

"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.

Be done with her. This happened to me as well. It means the girl is no longer interested in the relationship.

Sex shouldn't be the only thing in a relationship but it's still an important barometer of its health. More often than not there's an event which coincides with when sex frequency drops off.

Obviously her moving would lessen the frequency. Distance normally erodes a relationship that hasn't established a solid, long term foundation prior to the move. Also, unless there is a plan for reuniting permanently, the probability of the relationship surviving is extremely low.
