"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 should I proceed?

I've been dating a girl for almost 4 years. We have had some break ups here and there along the way but we always stayed sexual and continued to see each other.

For the last year or two, she has been in the position of power where I seem to have more interest in keeping the relationship going.

For this entire time she has been very sexual with me and still is. I've in the past used this to gauge interest, but this girl has pulled back quite a bit and does things I feel are rude, and that you don't do with people you have high interest in. But ita time for sex she is all in.

I opened my big mouth and complained about the lack of attention I was getting. I'm kicking myself because I could have just continued to hook up, but the relationship part wasn't there for me. Do you just keep your mouth shut when you are feeling you aren't getting what you should?

She told me that her job is her main focus and now is no the time for her to focus on a relationship. Said she will always love me, blah blah blah.

I plan on just meeting other chicks, but I would like to have our sexual thing and I'm believing she will call me again to hook up, we have a history so it may linger for awhile.

How should play it to maybe rebuild her interest? I'm interested in what some other forum members would do here.

"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.

You SHOULDN'T.

You should walk away. GHOST her. Say nothing and walk away.

You are being used as you're emotionally attached.

Grow a pair, get back your dignity and take that one ***** off a pedastal.

What lozboss said. You can't disconnect the sex from the need of wanting a relationship so it's best you walk away.

We have broken up and gotten back together. I have had her more into me at one point.
There were things I was unhappy with in the relationship so I should let it go.
Thanks for the response!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I was speechless at the response, that that would be said to me after dating 4 years. You say something else, not that. We were exclusive but it was wearing down to just hooking up.

You basically got friendzoned, but with benefits.

I also smell a small hit of feminism. /verbal irony

Dont accept the boytoy status!!!

Walk away, regain and maintain your frame, then later maybe she will look at you differently. It is an imperative that she orbit you! Otherwise, you'll have a relapse of your current situation.

That's where I'm really confused, I know they will give basic sex and not be into you. She definitely is not into me right now. But she's blowing me, tonguing me down, getting into it. I have run into situations where they start pulling the sex back, but if I call she comes.. Weird

Going thru this right now...sort of.

When a girl you've been seeing for any amount of time starts pulling back a little, showing mixed signals, it means one of two things:

a) she wants out but doesn't want to hurt you

2) another guy is in the picture

Either way, eject immediately and don't look back.

Prove to yourself that you can walk away from her.

If you continue to hang around and ask questions, she WILL hurt you.
She has in so many words said that we aren't what we used to be, I think maybe I'm feeling that I don't deserve better because there is no way I should accept this or some of the comments I've gotten.
I have gone no contact for about two days now.

You know when you first start dealing with this it's tough to get out and start meeting girls. I do have the attitude of walking away and not looking back, I just feel I may talk when and if she does call.
I've been listening to Corey Wayne and he says to allow them back in but on your terms.
I have pulled back from her before and she was back in, but somewhere along the way I must have gone back to beta behaviors.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.
