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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
I would look very serious and confused and say, "Who said I was single?" wait a few seconds then smile, laugh, say "You know I was joking" and change the subject asap. This is a trap question, best to be left unanswered.lifemisspent said:

You already have problems with the girl if she's asking you questions like that. She's trying to fault with you already so she can use it against you later. If you met a girl you really liked, wanted to have sex with, wanted to be with 7/7 days during the week, would you ask "how long have you been single?" Would that help getting to know her? Would that help the relationship progress? No. It's ammunition to use it as an excuse later or a current excuse not to date you.lifemisspent said:
