"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'm a sophmore in high school and this weekend I got asked to Prom right at the last minute by a HB9. I thought things were going great and I had her attracted all that jazz until I read something. I read one of her comments to a friend about Prom. She wrote to the friend, "I'm going to Prom, not that hot about the boy (taking one for the team) but the dance will be great".

I feel retarded because I'm being used, what to do? I'm thinking about ditching her but I don't know where to go, socially I don't know how easy it will to be blend in but I might try to hang out with someone else. Looking at the situation with the minimal details I gave you, what would you do in this situation.

BTW I can't really back out now even though I wish I could, got my tux all that stuff.
 

"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.

those are good ideas, but if being a hard ass isnt your style, be straight up and tell her you know about the note and then tell her you would rather go stag than be her bi*ch

Good advice guys but I don't feel like being a hardass as chill put it. I'm thinking of just going through the motions at the pre-Prom meal and pictures but once we arrive I'm just going to try to ditch her.

An update on what happened today, I told her best friend's boyfriend that I think she is playing me and naturally he told his girl who told my date. I haven't said anything to her best friend about it even though she is asking me. Saw her in the halls and totally ignored her and she asked her friend why I didn't say anything. At lunch, I walked up to her and asked for my ticket but she said she didn't have it. I didn't really say much to her and she asked me to sign her yearbook, I wrote my name and she wrote "Prom date" next to it so I preceded to write "Taking One For the Team" next to that.

Leaving the lunchroom she asked to take me home from school and I had no choice since my brother got ISAP. I rode home and didn't really talk to her as she had her best friend with her. I talked to her and wasn't showing any forms of attraction and talked to anyone else I saw.

Tommorrow night will be interesting just because of all this sh*t going on right now. She played dumb to my actions but whatever.
