"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.

Have you or any other men you know actively friend zoned a woman temporarily?

We always here of women putting men in a friend zone, but what about men putting women in the friend zone?

Say you had a woman showing a ton of interest, how long could you hold her off and then reactivate her for. Put her on ice for a while. I know its a risky move since women tend to have tons of options with guys.
 

"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.

I've never heard of this or observed this happening.

I've done it many times when I was younger but as I've gotten older, I've learned that if I'm not interested in her right away, then it's best to just reject her and be done with it.

I have orbiters, does that count?
I think so. To me there is a reason due to work or pending divorce why a man might want to keep a woman on hold and was wondering if actively friend zoning them would work

I've friendzoned a few girls, but was never able to reactivate a sexual relationship with them. Once their ego's take a hit, that's it. They are fully aware of "friend zoning", unlike most men with little experince.

I've never heard of any guy pulling this off either.
 

"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.

i would have thought friend zoning them might make them want you more

its a little different than the preemptive breakup which supposedly has some power too

i've tried it a couple times and it went horribly. one girl got upset with me for not holding/touching her when we were lying down on the beach. we had already fvcked before i friendzoned her btw. i think it can only work if you do it asap, like on the first meetup, but even then i don't think it will go over well. it might only work if you meet women through a social circle or something like that
