"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 would claim to not remember it but say "I think I called you..and I think I was being an ass."

She'll either blow the call off or confirm that.

If che confirms it say:

"Strange things happen when people get drunk. They call people at and say things they probably shouldn't say." Then leave it at that.

Move on as if it never happened. She'll remember it though..DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

Damn this is hilarious.

godjwood, don't ever fvcking do that again. Let this be a lesson to you. It's one of the most self-defeating moves you can make if you're really interested in a chick.

I made a drunken phone call back in May and I turned a budding LTR with an HB into a pathetic LJBF exercise in futility :mad:

Next time you talk to her just tell what happened, don't apologize, just tell her you feel dumb for doing that and just act like whatever, what's next on the agenda. I'm not on of those people who feels you should not mention it and try to play it off like it never happened. Show her you got the balls to take responsibility for what you did but don't get all sappy sorry on her.

Say You dont remember that You were on party and maybe phone called itsself. Or that it was loud and You douldnt hear. or that You were really drunk and cant remember but wanted to hear her. All this stuff works. Depends on the situation.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

My best friend of almost 6 years (male) calls me when he's all messed up all the time. He's said some pretty bizarre things, said some incredibly sappy things too. The bottom line is this...if the girl genuinely likes you no amount of drunk dialing is going to change that. If she isn't all that into you, then drunk dialing will just speed up her losing interest in you...which is going to happen if she doesn't much like you anyhow.

A girl who is really into you won't be chased off by your mistakes. Only girls who don't really like you are easily chased off.

Been there, done that.

Don't make drunk phone calls, just don't ever bring it up again.

If it's brought up, just say you were drunk, being stupid and it was a mistake phoning her.

That be funny if she told YOu to go for a walk (since you said you weren't too sure of what she said) and you replied with that. Just play it off like you don't remember saying that.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Oh good God.

I almost pissed my pants laughing, bro.

Ah, the old drunk dialing thing. Funny as hell in retrospect.

Don't worry about it.

Seriously, what is it about alcohol that makes things seem like such a good idea at the time?

The probability of getting hit by a car at 4am isn't greater then any other time of the day.
