The library is close to my house, so I was walking home from it when this happened. A group of 5 cute girls called me up. We started talking and I played it cool, kept my answers short and vague. They asked me things like "Do you like me?" and I said "maybe", "sure" stuff like that. Then they all asked me for a hug, so I did that. I didn't number-close or anything, but that's okay since they live right across the block from me. (One lives across my house). When I was leaving, one of them came up to me and asked me if I would go out with her friend, one of the girls. So I said "yeah" and continued on. What would you've done in all of these situations? Did I handle this the right way?

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 would you have handled this situation?
