"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

So I was eating.

There is a nice waitress coming from another country on an exchange.

We talked, I flirted, and being nice etc...

She eventually come stand next to be and talk about going out etc...

I tell her: what you doing ''at this time (day and place, hour), if you free join me for this event''

She goes '' I am free''... you have my number?

Proceed to giving me her number.

Than, she whisper ''I got a BF, we came together''.

What you think happened?

She's on a the fence? looking for a friend or a party? My approach was solid than weak, so she drop the BF talk?

I am curious if it ever happened to you... the girl moved to give you her number and than she mentions being ''unavailable''.
 

"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.

Right behind you
Maybe just seeing how you'd react. Having a boyfriend doesn't mean **** nowadays. I overheard 2 coworkers talking to each other about me because one of them really likes me. And everyone knows she's got a boyfriend too lmao. Just act as if she didn't say that. That's what I'd do in your position anyway.

It's a friendzone invite. Bring another woman with you to this event. Otherwise, you'll just be her potential new orbiter.

Women who actually like you won't confuse you. Could it be a filtering test? Sure, but unless she's super nova hot there's no need for the filter. Even then, all that should tell you is that she's probably too wrapped up in attention whoring to give you the time of day.

Just an update:
Wow been almost a month since she gave me her number.

I sent her 1 text 2 weeks later... a ''hey'' no come back.

1 week later, last minute:
Than I invited her to some party... said she couldnt cause already with friends

Her coworker talked about her BF.

It's likely a ''lets be friend'' and its cool.... we need female friends sometimes to improve Social Value.

Maybe i'll invite her on a double date with my current girl
 

"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.

Your incorrect usage of "than" messed with my reading of this post. In every instance here it should be "then". That's a big difference.

Anyways, either she said it because she put you in the friendzone or she was hinting at wanting to cheat on him with you. How did she say she has a boyfriend? How it's said is important to note.

Ordinarily I'd say that she's looking to upgrade, but since she's an alien, that wouldn't make sense since she would be a short-termer. Of course, she could be looking for a green card (what country?)

However, something doesn't sound right. Exchange students are high-schoolers, and it sounds highly unlikely that a boyfriend woul be coming along for the ride. Perhaps she was a guest worker, and somehow she got the exact terminology wrong? I could see a boyfriend-girlfriend pair of folks getting accepted as guest workers at the same location.

But she could be lying about all of this. I suppose you could pursue to bust a nut, but she sounds low class.

I see - so she can tell your girl that you had asked for her phone number ...
