"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.

so last night i saw a hb10. with out hesitation i walked up to her and started conversation. i kept it light and said we should get together sometime. she said sure give me your name and number. first i thought this was a total blowoff but last night i got a freind request from her on face book. THis girl is bad!!!!! she goes to college about an hour away and is leaving this weekend. what do you suppose i do to get in with this girl. I have other plates but i would really like to get to know this one.
 

"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.

ya, i got it. we talked for a few today. She was telling me that she was leaving this weekend to go back to school and told me that i should come up and party with her. I then asked her if she ever comes back home and she replied "occasionally". then i said not even for this cute face and she said maybe we will see :). finally i said sounds sweet, thumps down lol j/k. and that was the last i heard from her. I posted on her fb wall" have a good time with your girl tonight and thanks for getting mad and not returning my text lol j/k". she replied back thanks and she was sorry she left her phone in her room and was chillin with her friend" so goes the rest of the story.

sounds like you did well, i agree with Kailex, just see how this goes, she sounds fairly interested. you did well to not get rejected straight away because from where i come from girls dont really meet strangers that approach them, unless its at a bar or club
 

"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.
