"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 good are you at insinuation?

How good are you at getting people to suggest/do something as though it were there own idea, by your dropping of subtle hints and such?

I understand the concept behind this, and have done it generally unintentionally. If someone is skilled at this, would you mind shedding some light on how I can improve?
 

"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.

It's not about subtle hints, more like obvious suggestion. Just assume the roles and she will grow to fit them. It doesn't matter what the situation is, but work into the conversation, what role you want her to fill. I've found that it works wonders. By telling her what she shouldn't do, as if she were doing it, anchors her to fill the role. Don't look too serious when you're telling her, but instead try to sound playful and casual, then get back to what you were doing.

-"Stop hitting on me, I'm more than just a sex object."
-"I know you love me, but you're going to have to contain yourself."
-"I never knew women had such a blatant disregard for modesty."

At first, it will get you the "*scoff* he's such a jack@ss" reaction. This is normal. Just maintain the playful mentality. Eventually, your girl will learn to fill the roles that you give her.

Eh, which isn't a far step away from 17 or 18.

He may know what he's talking about. Anyone else got input?

BTW, I'm speaking more about...situational insinuation. Like say I want a girl to suggest me coming over to her house as though it was her idea, how might such a conversation go?

"I had a lot of fun talking to you. Is there a way we can continue this?"

*HB gives you her number*

"Cool, we'll swap. Here's mine."
