"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 was searching for the epic poem "Don Juan" by Lord Byron, as I was a sappy, nice guy poetry nut at the time. I still write poetry, actually, and am amazing at it. But the discovery changed my life. To be specific, it was Pook. But this platform introduced him to me. And giving people introductions that aid them in their development and success have provided value. Also, I was introduced to Napoleon Hill here. He changed me from Negative Mental Attitude to Positive Mental Attitude. Every time one of my plans failed or were sabotaged, really, I recalled, "If one plan fails, build another. If that fails, build yet another. Do this till you succeed." Something like that. I think that's the most important line and message in the entire book. Success is simple. Hill taught me that. Develop a burning desire. Take action. Then persist through the mistakes and failures until the objective is achieved. For me, it's been TRUE LOVE: a loving relationship with a loyal wife who gives me a daughter I raise from infancy and dote on. I have not always been a loving guy. I have been harsh and abrupt. And women respond mostly to our tone when we speak to them. And if my tone was offensive, that was a barrier to me getting that loving relationship.

And the journey all started here!!!!

How much does Edward Thompson DESERVE for the introductions he gave me? He jokingly said a million. And I agreed and thought that was fair. But what do you think? What has he earned here? I think we have to consider not just the impact it had on me, but also how many I have gone on to impact too myself.

"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.

Would you be more specific, please? Did you Google something? If so, what was it?

I was starting to date again after getting divorced and moving out of Florida. I was thinking, things sure are different in the Bible Belt.

lol….I was a typical teenager having dating problems when I typed in David DeAngelo dating advice- a famous dating guru at that time and it redirected me to this page. Went back on and off through the years.

Thanks for the responses, guy. But how much compensation does Edward deserve? What should be his reward? I'm going to marry Cece Rose (the hottest woman since Bathsheba), and there's NO WAY in hell I would be the kind of man she would be attracted to and want to partner with for life IF I didn't find this site and read Pook (and I studied David D. too). So for me, I get the girl of my dreams. And because of this site, now I've evolved into a spokesman and leader who will bring FREEDOM, PEACE and PROSPERITY to the American people. How much is THAT worth?
