"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.

It's been an interesting 4 years of high school for me, but I regret doing this insane IB honors track at my school. That plus my activities consumed so much of my time that I wish I can just go back. I changed quite a bit though, I sharpened my DJing and got respect from others. The problem is I don't think I did a lot of those awkward (cold) approaches so I'm still sheltered in that area. I don't casually talk to anyone unless I'm in the right mood. I still have more to experience as a DJ even though I left a site for a while.

Now that you have some background of me, I'll state the reason for my post. Last Saturday after I came back hanging out with a girl I'm friends with, I decided that we should both get some frozen yogurt at a shop near my school. There's a HB9 half indian/half carribean girl I sometimes see at school that works there. I came in couple times before and she's a nice friendly person, always saying Hi Chris whenever I walk in. As I paid for my yogurt, I lightly chatted with HB9, accidentally dropped some coins she gave me, paid, and then left the shop. The minute we left, my friend told me she was pretty hot and that she seemed nervous around me. I said "yea she's a nice girl", but my friend said HB9 bit her lips and looked down as I picked up my coins. It was a little hard to believe, but I'm planning to close it. Not sure why she's interested except for the fact I was never lured in by her looks...no clue why, but the attraction switch just never came on. I kind of lost the DJing I have due to my busy schedule and excuses to not approach. I have the natural aspects of gaming (confidence, eye contact, etc), but I'm not good with the approaching.

I don't see this girl often at school, but it'll be a good idea in my opinion to game her when she's alone on her shift so she's not that pressured.

I'm not very talkative...so topic suggestions when I lightly chat with her again?

Someone overall remind me how to escalate things without being too direct, don't want to scare her off do we? :)
 

"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.

I acually have a similer situation with a girl that is in 2 of my classes, cant tell if shes interested or not yet, but we have chatted a few time about school stuff, just need a reminder of what to do when talking and how to escallate etc. so she feels comfortable around me.

Before you go in, envision how you want the "date" and the outcome of it to go.

When you finally get into the game, flirt, make her laugh, and sneak in a few innuendos. Speak naturally, without a preset routine (listen more than you talk, though). Steer her to the outcome you envisioned.

A few topics?
Her weird laugh
The way she stalks you
Ask her about herself

You get what I am trying to say.
