"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.

ok i've already taken a walk around in the shoes (shoot me) so i decided hey what the hell, lets try to clean it. (yes i'm sure the stain was there when i bought it, i remotely remember something catching my eye as i took it outa the box) well cleaning didn't work too well -_-

YES IT IS DRY.

WHAT WILL I DO?!?!!?:box: :box: :box:
 

"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.

1-Go back to the store with the shoes & the sales slip.

2-Hold out the sales slip and say: "I'm not happy with these shoes. I want to return them."

3-Clerk says: Hey what about this spot?"

4-You say: That was from PLAIN WATER! The dye faded almost instantly! The quality on these shoes are horrible! I think it must be a manufacture's defect. You should get your money back from them!"

5-The clerk says: "Ummm, yeah. Here's your money."

6- You say "THANK YOU!" and procede to have a nice day:)

i've actually thought about saying that, I'm not sure if i can pull it off


from offtopic.com:

"my sister bought a pair of shoes and came home to realize they only had one shoe in the box so she took it back to get the other one. "

Of course you can!! Where's your DJ confidence? You'll do fine! Just reamin calm, yet firm about getting your money back. Most places have NO problem with it.
 

"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.

ok another suggestions i got: walk in wearing the shoes, have a friend get another pair, and then switch it out
I'd be careful doing that. They catch you on camera and you're $crewed.

One option I see though, is go to the store, buy the exact same pair of shoes. Walk out, switch the shoes in the box for the ones you have. Walk right back in, and say you chaged your mind. Considering the purchase is about 10-20 minutes old, no one is gonna really care about the stain, if the ask, then.."oh, must've spilled water.. i dropped my water bottle."

Still, most likely, considering how quickly you come back, no one is gonna care. Though I would reccoemend using a different clerk.

ROFL :crackup:

Maybe it's just me, but using "momma" to take care of this seems very un-DJish.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
