"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.

I know I can't do dinner and a movie and hope to get even closer to a woman. I claimed that I am fun and romantic on dates...even though I haven't dated in a long time! I only did so to make myself seem that I'm worth more and had more experience with women than what I really had. ;)

But what can you do on a date to be romantic and get the girl more attracted to you? If I make a claim like the one above and not have the proof, word on the streets will get out HEAVILY and I'll have a 1 in 100 chance to ever be able to take a woman out (or have sex) again. Suggestions are always welcome. Thanx!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

What makes you think women want a first date to be romantic? What kind of things were you thinking of doing to "be romantic"?

Why do guys set themselves up like this? Would it have been so difficult to say that you were laid back and would just want to meet casually to see what happens? How exactly do you expect to come off as having a ton of experience without having any? What can be said that will immediately turn you into a DJ? I don't know, maybe you can find something in the DJB.

she earns the romance by complying with your date ideas and allowing you to get physical with her

you don't yet know if she is worthy of romance

Never make it seem like you think you have to prove yourself to her by claiming such things. You already have her on a pedastal like you're trying to get her to like you... listing your qualities etc.

Just don't do it next time.

Since you already have, if she questions you or wonders why you aren't acting 'romantic' like you claim, tell her she hasn't done anything to make you feel like she warrants it or something in a witty/funny way.

If you make her feel she has to work for you and she's the one worrying about whether or not you like her, things will go a lot smoother and in your favour!

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"Romantic" means different things. It can mean afc wuss, and if you ask women to define the term, what they will describe is mostly afc behavior. But then if they had a date with a guy who did those things, they would say that they just didn't feel attraction (even though he was a really nice guy...).

What women actually want is a man who displays the type of behavior that we know generates attraction: demonstrating value, social proof, kino, leadership, independence, and keeping her guessing about your feelings by using push/pull and mixing fun neg-hits with the occasional unexpected compliment. When you do the right things, you generate attraction, and women will think of you as 'romantic,' even though you don't conform to the traditional Hallmark-card concept of romance.

nismo-4,

romantism exists only in book. Let me tell you about real life. One day I was chatting (really sarging in fact :D ) with my actual GF and said : "In the next minute I'll pick up my phone and call you. Be near. I want to feel you smiling through the line..."

The next time we met, she called me a romantic :D Can anybody guess why?

I keep searching about the word "romantism"
