"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.

hey guys, I really need the help of some DJs!

there's a girl I know, I'm so far into the friend zone you wouldn't believe, no chance of a relationship either...
the girl I like does a lot of other guys, which upsets me, so I want to get out of there...only problem is, I'm her best friend and she won't make it easy...

would it make sense to try to completely cut contact? or should I do it more slowly or something?

any advice on this situation would be good, cheers guys :)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

be "busy" for a while. When she wants to hang out or chat then talk as normal but just say you've got somewhere to be or something to do. Keep this up for a while.

The username "leeroy jenkins" doesn't really help with my impression of how well you'll be able to pull it off.

Keep in mind that it will be far easier to move on to another girl than it would be to turn this around. I personally do not believe it is worth your time.

If you have feelings for her and it bothers you to see her with other guys, then I would recommend cutting most contact off with her. You don't have to be an ass about it or anything; just respectfully cut down on your contact with her.

However, if it doesn't bother you that much, keep her around as a valued friend. Put her in your friend zone. That's probably the best advice I could give you in terms of havig a chance with her again: put her in your friend zone.

Kudos,
Matt

preferably just say hi and date other girls. make an excuse if not in person like "oh (susi) is calling me, can you hang on" and don't talk to her again that day", she may begin to wonder just how long you and susi talked before you realized she was on the phone and if you keep it up but don't be obvious, she may begin to feel a bit of jealously as to this "susi" character taking the company of her best friend. and then keep it up so she will have enough time to realize she likes you then keep it up so that after a long time yo see her, she will not feeel it so wierd to initiate kino w/ her and if you follow the don juan philiosophy correctly she will be so into your new cool personality that u may get a kiss or more. and have fun doing it. when you keep it brief, laugh when she gets off the phone to boost your confidence and dont tell her anything about "susi" just keep her supposed character to yourself. who knows you may even get yourself a real Susi.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

well, a pro of being her best friend is that you and her spend time, and she 'needs' you (you are a part of her current life that's not easily replaceable).
So playing some ganji on her would help I think, because she then realises what she's missing

goes along with my words, which proves only in words the best plan of action but only you gotta make the move without hesitation, or fear.

well the thing is, I've tried all the tricks and this girl isn't gonna go out with me, which I'm okay with, as long as I don't have to think about/see her with other guys >.<
 

"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.

Focusing on the tricks is why she's not yours man. Build yourself up from the inside and she'll be the one picking you up.

but if you do see her with other guys act as though you could care less. don't say it though as this will tip your opinion and ruin your chance of a dominance over her. just say stuff like cool, nice to meet you, kid around with him say something like lemme warn you, shes a bit crazy followed by a smooth laugh and wait until she reacts (most cases a slight nudge w the elbow) and say im jokin shes alright. this will not only show that your cool with it but the guy will feel a bit intimidated by this radiant, confidant (i did not say handsome but it is a plus) guy around his woman and he may feel smaller and smaller. j
