"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.

I have a weird situation with my life at the moment. I bought a house with my ex-g/f, and we broke up, unfortunatley we were both on the mortgage, and neither of us would move out. At the time she said she would live there for a few months and move back to Chicago in June, which she is doing. A few weeks ago I started dating another girl, caused a lot of hassle at home which was expected. Me ex is moving next week and we had some bad news about one of our dogs, which she is keeping, anyway turned out to be good news. This has made my ex really happy but also she has come to realise that we will not see each other again. So, this morning she comes into my room, saying she is sad and will miss me blah blah. So, we ended up having sex. I did want to, I would be lieing if I said otherwise, sex is sex after all.

The thing is I didn't want to cheat on my new girl, but I have such history with my ex. She has been such a crazy cat the last month I don't know if she is going to use this against me, or whether she wanted a good bye shag. I am just confused, I am still not sure about this new girl, but she is crazy for me so I am carrying it on to see what happens.

Maybe I am just venting, but also a little worried.
 

"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.

Well she'll move to Chicago and you will be dating the other girl.
What exactly you are worried about?

Well, it seems like sex isn't sex when there could be repercussions about it.

You had better not piss off your ex until she is physically out of the picture if you want to keep things in tact with your new girl. Also, don't lay on the trip of ever telling your new girl about your indiscretions for the sake of "honesty in the relationship." This is a lot of BS to mask guilt. Telling her would not improve the relationship what so ever, but you weren't going to tell her, right?

Does your ex know your new gf? How she would tell her?

Anyway, if somehow she will get that you had sex with your ex...
confront her with the concept of being exlusive: "We were dating...I like you and I want to be exlusive with you now".
Dont appologize to her - it will not change anything but will show your AFC side.
Just show yourself as somebody desired by many women, sombody who knows concepts of dating and who wants to be exclusive with her.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

If it does get back to the new girl, all you have to do is deny it. You can say that your ex is angry and trying to sabotage your new relationship. Your new girl will believe it if she wants to believe it.

Now stop getting with your ex-girlfriends. You shouldn't have to open graves to find girls to have sex with.
