"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.

Give it a shot or NEXT! ?

Yeah, so my last post (i think) was about me trying to take HB7.5 to either pool or coffee date.

I was gonna call her today, but I was busy and got home around 5, and I was dead tired. I texted the girl and told her

"Hey _______! I couldn't set anything today with you because I was busy, but give me a call around 10pm today sweetheart."
***I just "assumed the sale" and sh*t, but possibly my downfall***

She replies: "Oh..I was busy too.. Sweetheart?"

Obviously couldn't tell her tone of voice or nothing, but I figured, if I called today then it would've been the 2nd "no", so I thought NEXTTTTTTTT and texted:

"Actually, never mind. We'll figure something out later on. See ya."

She replies: "Okay :) Bye bye~"

I'm assuming the worst, but keeping my head up high. I didn't take her out once but I'm nexting her. Was I too quick to judge or did I save myself a lot of time by assuming that her IL was low for me?
 

"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.

Sweethart?? You seem like an all american boy who goes to church all the time and does what his mommy tells him. You need to losen up dude. That text you sent made you sound like a girl. Why did you want her to call you? What good would that possibly do? I suggest you lossen your collar and chill out. Im gonna say next cause if youre this "bookish" online, i can only imagine how you actually are.

She was confused as to why you called her a "sweet heart"....if you're going to give a girl a nickname...make it sound masculine.....no sweet hearts....or huns...or not nothing like that.

The best damage control would have been to say something like:

"Yeah, you know, I'm like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. I'm sure you see it too! Anyway, call me later!"
 

"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.

Hahahaha I DO go to church, but I don't think I sounded like some sleezy mama's boy when I say "sweetheart." But whatever, live and learn.

I'll erase sweetheart from my vocabulary and replace it with BABE. thanks fellas.

As for HB7.5 , Iono. I MIGHT give it another go.
