"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.

How do I respond to these questions?

Things with my girlfriend have been going well and her interest is sky high, but lately she's been asking a lot of upfront questions and I've not know how to answer them.

Here's what I mean:


"Have you ever been in love?" & "Who with?"

"If you could be with anyone in the world, who would it be?"

"Do you fancy <insert name of friend>?"

"How many women have you slept with?"

"Do you think we will last?"

"Do I ever piss you off?" or "Do you ever get bored of me sometimes?"

"Before we got together was there anyone else you liked?"


She's actually quite a confident and secure girl, but she does have me on a pedestal and sees our relationships as special. I'm a bit more casual about it, but I don't mind that. These questions sound like seeking reassurance, but I don't know how I should answer them. Do I tell her what she wants to hear and risk her taking me for granted, do I keep her on her toes, or (as I have been doing) make a joke and change the subject.

Any pointers would be welcome as I've been coming under fire from a lot of these questions lately.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Thanks. We've been kinda seeing each other for 4 months, but only been an item for about a month with a break from seeing each other over xmas (due to study).

Thanks for the link. I've read that tip some time ago, but really need to refresh my memory.

Another thing she does is when she asks me if I fancy her friend and I say no, she points out I never fancy anyone, and concludes that I must be lying sometimes?!

"Have you ever been in love?" & "Who with?" - Truth

"If you could be with anyone in the world, who would it be?" - Some joke, no real answer.

"Do you fancy <insert name of friend>?" - Of course not, i fancy You! What type of question is that?!

"How many women have you slept with?" - Never answer that.

"Do you think we will last?" - Of course, if not us.Who then?!

"Do I ever piss you off?" or "Do you ever get bored of me sometimes?" - Yes You piss me off with such questions.

"Before we got together was there anyone else you liked?" - I feel You are special.


 

"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.

"Have you ever been in love?" & "Who with?"
Only you darling!

"If you could be with anyone in the world, who would it be?"
You! Only you darling!

"Do you fancy <insert name of friend>?"
Who? She's not YOU darling!

"How many women have you slept with?"
You are the only one who mattered to me!

"Do you think we will last?"
Forever!

"Do I ever piss you off?" or "Do you ever get bored of me sometimes?"
Never! You're the perfect woman.

"Before we got together was there anyone else you liked?"
No one as exciting as you!
{{Turns off SARCASM INITIATOR}}

She is either feeling insecure, looking for reassurance and fishing for compliments. OR, she is very secure in the relationship and wants to make you jump some hoops, playing the "tell me I'm pretty" game! We aren't there and only you can tell the diffrence.

Welcome back to the boards Watertiger and thanks for the response. What you suggested is near enough what I have been doing. It usually holds her off, but then she'll ask again.

It probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but in all my past relationships this is around the point where I fvck up! She thinks I'm a player (most women do) so I get a lot of trust problems and jealousy from women. The more I reassure them the less interested they get, while not reassuring them causes them not to trust me.

Yep, I admit I still have things to learn. Could be worse, I could have been here 3 years and still be afraid of women, posing as a macho anti-feminist on internet forums to cover my homosexual tendencies.

"macho anti-feminist" I like that . If thats your impression of me you emasculated half man half AFC advertisement then I guess I'm on the right track.:D

But homo tendencies?......shhhh we'll keep that on the down low yeah.

And at least you admit your clueless, just keep it in the back of your mind next time you get the urge to "help" some poor sap out eh?

It is worse, youve made 3 and a half posts per day since you joined and your still no better off than a chump off the streets.

Now you only have to work on not cheating on her jariel. :trouble:
Thanks JC. That makes a lot of sense to me as many of our conversations have given off similar signs that she sees a future and wants to get serious, and clearly you talk from experience.

As for the cheating, I never thought I'd have that problem, but I really need to sort that out if I get serious with this girl!
 

"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 see the way you keep craving my attention. If I was a girl, you'd so be pulling my pigtails! :)

Very wrong there dude. Considering the state I was in when I came to this board to literally having groupies and women approach and number close me, and a hot girlfriend, and more friends than I can keep up with and so on, I've made some pretty huge steps.

If you consider me an AFC or a chump, then maybe you should follow my lead, because whatever I'm doing works!

"Have you ever been in love?" & "Who with?"

Yea sure, all the time. & *insert random names of hot female stars or popular hot local people that you know*

"If you could be with anyone in the world, who would it be?"

Myself

"Do you fancy <insert name of friend>?"

Do you?

"How many women have you slept with?"

Thousands

"Do you think we will last?"

That depends on (how) you (behave)

"Do I ever piss you off?" or "Do you ever get bored of me sometimes?"

All the time (with sarcasm)

"Before we got together was there anyone else you liked?"

Off course not, you are the only person in the entire world that I'll ever like (with sarcasm)

Absolutely your a chump in my books , wanting to punch out guys for sleazing onto your b!tch is trademark chump, theres no getting around that .
I'd rather drink paint than follow your lead. And whats to follow anyway? your in a "LTR" are you not? I already did all that B.S before I found out about the seduction community, 6 years then a 3 year stint so your actually following my chump lead as we speak.

Except back then (AFC days) even I knew about basic chick dribble and how to play it off, if these questions shes spewed at you are causing you trouble even now after your fully aware and how to respond (3 and a half posts per day you fvggin should by now) to ********/chick speak, bullsh!t whatever then a monkey could "follow your lead" at the progress your making.

Love? What's that? Stop your crazy talk. :)

What do you want to have for dinner?


"Do you fancy <insert name of friend>?"

Do i WHAT?


"How many women have you slept with?"

How many dust particles are in this room?


"Do you think we will last?"

Yes.


"Do I ever piss you off?"

Yes.

"Do you ever get bored of me sometimes?"

I treasure my alone time sometimes.


"Before we got together was there anyone else you liked?"

Wait a second.. you mean you're not the only girl?


 

"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.
