"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'll spare you the boring details that I typed up then deleted and cut to the point.

There's this girl that shows all the indicators of interest (laughs at my lame jokes, initiates hugs me whenever she sees me, pupils dialate when she's around me) but she seems to be a really busy girl. She always has a friend coming into town or her brother or xyz.

So she came to my buddy's party last night, and we hung out and talked for a few, I Isolated but she got bored because my game was lame, and I was gonna try to convince me to let me sleep at her house (I ended up sleeping at this other girl's house, but thats another story), but she said she was leaving for another party.

Anyways, i asked if she wanted to hang out with me next week, and she said "Sure, I'll call you next month" to which I replied "Honey, this isn't my first rodeo, I know when a girl says she'll call you in a month, that she'll never do it." then she says "Yeah, well, then maybe you should give me a call" and I said "We'll see" and then turned my back and let her leave.

Should I even bother? I guess I don't really have anything to lose if she plays games with me on the phone I'll just freeze her out again.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Dude, isn't next month like the day after tomorrow? :p But seriously, with a line like that why should you set your hopes high? Go out and meet some more women. Maybe she'll be lucky and will be free if and when she calls.

Nah man, I definately don't have my hopes up about this one, but I had a taste of one-itis for her for about three days until I snapped out of it, so i figure, it might be worth a long shot.

And man, there is no doubt that I'm gonna go out after other girls. Hell, I hooked up with one last night after that whole thing!

Sorry you are wasting your time with this fish. Next fish in the sea.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"she seems to be a really busy girl"

You = fell for her stupid tactics

Also, when you isolate a woman, do it with a specific goal in mind, otherwise set her free. You don't need gobs of conversation to get attraction, so if you isolate, it better be to lead her to some other experience.

Otherwise she WILL get bored.

Oh, unless you've got attraction, in which case you'll find that when you isolate her, she'll continually try to make you qualify yourself to her... it's okay to tell her a bit about yourself, but don't make it sound impressive, just state it as is.
