"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.

In person I am golden and I am money. On the telephone my game isn't as fine tuned. Should I only call to schedule dates? Maybe keep it slow and simple and end the call on a high note.
 

"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.

If its from a cold approach, got the number, now setting up a date. You need to take them back into the frame of mind where they met you <--- i dont think this is stressed enough on this site. It really DOES make a difference.

I usually say some stuff like:

"How was the rest of your night in the club... i had fun hanging out with you... it was funny when this and thsi happened, remember?"
Oh my GOD this is golden. Dementia, GREAT call. You're absolutely right on this. I never use to bother doing that, and just set up the time and date. I learned about this trick when I called up this one girl who I really wasn't expecting to set up a date with, then we got on the topic of what we did last time, and next thing I know, she's asking me when the soonest it was we could get together. I talked to one of my GOOD friends about this, and he said that, when setting up for the next date, ALWAYS bring something up that happened in the last date, usually something out of the ordinary and personal between the both of you. It helps to create a personal connection between you and her, and when a girl feels that there is a connection between you and her, she will not give up NEARLY as easily as if there was no connection.

F*ckin KUDO's man... you just inspired my *ss! lol :D

You can practice by making crank calls to pizza places. Tell them you want 2 large pies with everything on them delivered to your neighbor's house. In about 30-45 minutes look out the window and your confidence will soar.

You've got to be kidding me...

I try to multi-task when I'm on the phone.

It keeps me from getting bored and brings up subjects to talk to about to prevent long awkard silences.

Keep it short and simple, stupid.

My phone convos with girls are rarely longer than 2 or 3 minutes. To setup a date it's usually less than a minute and a half.

I think I'll use dementia's advice, It seems nice and simple.
