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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Maybe I'm still inexperienced but sometimes they really try to make you feel bad/guilty for not being their "friend".abe0 said:I tend to respond to the first text by being polite...."doing well, thanks for asking"....I do not ask how they are doing nor ask any further questions to invite a wasteful conversation. If they text back again...I ignore and hopefully they get the message. If I really do not care at all because she is truly an attention grabbing b+tch....then I totally ignore so that they GO AWAY.

So just ignore?PlayHer Man said:How do you deal with girls that just want to be "friends"? --> YOU DON'T.

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.

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.
So if you're her friend you're automatically a level 60 beta orbiter? Ahaha. OP if you want to be friends with them then be friends with them. If you get friend zoned then stopped talking to them.PlayHer Man said:How do you deal with girls that just want to be "friends"? --> YOU DON'T.

Good one bro.....lolskinnyguy said:Try to put your hand down her shirt or caress her legs.
If she resists, it's her fault for leading you on. Just say "I thought you were into me". Win win situation for you.
Let them try. Why would you care what a woman you're not f*cking thinks?teddy said:So just ignore?
Like I said above, some of these women try their best to make you feel guilty.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
