"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Have I been friend zoned? Feel like her emotional sponge

Before two weeks ago, the last time I saw a friend of mine who I have had a crush on for awhile was 6 months. I had been out of the country. She never used to flirt with me, but when we saw each other after 6 months apart, I could tell she was nervous. As we walked she kept cracking her knuckles. We had gone out on a date when we first met 8 months ago. Agreed there wasn't chemistry at the time and decided to stay friends. We did just that and still saw eac other...even though I always still had feelings for her.

That night she touched my arm a lot when she talked to me and did that playful hit/tap thing women do sometimes. She's never done that before.

Another friend of mine had met us where we were at. This friend was a woman. She had left to meet her husband, and while she was gone, the girl in question had suggested we simply ditch her and take the train to Chicago, where we would go on an adventure.

She had known all this time that I was leaving for Egypt in 3 days. She kept saying she did not want me to go and would miss me. Even now, I get facebook messages from her saying how much she misses me, how she hears these songs that remind her of me, and how she wants me to "come home now". Other messages include:

-she may possibly be moving to new York and wants me to move there too
-she has lately been having heavy thoughts that she needs to share
-talks (possibly jokes, I don't know) about living in Chicago together and traveling the world. (she is envious of my traveling)
-she messages me about how she is feeling like she is going through a "quarter life crisis" and really wants to talk.
-she says she does not have a lot of friends she can talk to like she can with me
-she is making all these plans to do things together for when I return
-comments on how when she she saw me, she just felt so alive inside.

All this seems good I guess, but I kind of feel like an emotional sponge. Like she is sharing all this confidence with me because I'm just a really good friend. And I guess that too much confiding could lead to the friend zone. She even referred to me as "friend" one time in a message 'it's a great song my friend'.

I guess she has had me on her mind a lot, god knows she's been on mine.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I know I have the same problem, but don't over-analyze. It makes you feel more relaxed and better. If you have to think about it than you are probably are and you just need to move on with no hesitation.

Well, she is definatly looking for a friend/girlfriend due to the crisis she is having. She is probably a nut case too. Seems like she friend-zoned you back then and you didn't quiet get the message. And now you are getting deeper and deeper..........

Why are you being a p***y about this?? If you want her, stop being scared, man up, and tell her you still think shes cute.

YOU HAVE BALLS! That makes you a man. So act like one!

None of my friends tell me they felt "so alive inside" when they saw me.

"Balls" isn't telling a girl you think she's cute. It's grabbing her by the waist and kissing her.

I've never had to tell a girl that I think she's attractive. Showing her seems to get the idea across much better.

Honestly, If you feel you've been fz'd then you probably have.

But, more importantly, sounds like you have oneitis and so bigger picture problems.

You may need beta bootcamp. But, i'm just guessing, i could be wrong.

okay.

Quit over analyzing this whole thing because your blowing it way out of proportion.

Look, you are either in one of two scenarios.

1. You are the 'bestfriend"- she blurts out crazy ass ideas that she knows will never happen but wouldn't mind if they did. She wants you and her to go places and wants you to help her live her dreams like a best friend would do.

problem- a real man helps, serves, and protects those within his circle. His close friends and family. This girl is not in that circle, so do actually do what she is suggesting is crazy

2. she wants you. She had an interest spark in you for whatever reason and is now realising that you are the man she wants to be with and instead of being coy she is being blunt.

problem- Women always play coy, there is like .1% who dont and they act very unatractive. Thing is if she actually has an attraction for you, regardless why, it wont last for forever.

My advice:
The only way to know whats really going is to let her know what you want. You got to respond to her touching with your own touching. When women converse with eachother, they are feeling eachother up, physcologically as well as physically sometimes. Now keep in mind you ARE in the friend zone. However, if you let her know you want to be more than friends, you will get out of the friend zone and either you will have the girl you've wanted at your side or you will no longer be the "emotional spunge" because she will know that you have an interest in her and will stop coming to you.

I think i covered the bases but correct me if i got it wrong. Hope everything works out in your favor man.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Stop over analyzing.

Make a move already. That's the only way you'll know if you're truly friendzoned.

Getting off your ass and handling your business is the best thing that is for you. That's my verdict.

Case closed. Now go get her. :rockon:
