"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.

For the foreseeable future, anyway.

Last night I went out with my gf and all night she was moody and flighty and refused to communicate and changed her mind about what she wanted to do maybe 9 or 10 times.

Finally, it dawned on me: I don't need this bullshyt. I'm a well-off, reasonably handmose 23-year old guy. I shouldn't be doing anything that makes me unhappy.

It's like Epicurus said: the wise man seeks happiness and avoids unnecessary pain. Yoking myself to any one girl at this point can only produce unnecessary pain with no increase in happiness. So the next time I see her it's dumpsville for the gf and on to a better life.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

So youre going to dump her because its that time of the month? It seems a bit shallow, perhaps its been something building. What you should have done is taken her ass home and left. It doesnt seem like shes causin you pain, she just seems to have irritated you. If she causes you so much pain you would have broken up with her before.

Well it's a little more complicated. She's been pushing for the relationship to get more serious (which is totally out of the question) and her flightiness has just been getting worse and worse in the five months we've been going out.

If she wants to get more serious and you're not ready then I think you're making the right move by breaking up with her. I just hope you do so in a gentle manner, even though you and she are clearly frustrated with each other.

Do you ever watch Caesar Milan? (The Dog Whisperer)? So many times he has said that dogs, (in this case, your girlfriend) take their cues from their masters (you). Maybe your (I'm guessing subconscious) doubts are exasperating her flightiness and need for more commitment. Just a thought. Sorry about the dog analogy but I figure it's something easily searched if you want to know more of what I'm talking about.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Dude, you're only 22. You should be hitting it and quiting it as much as possible. There is absolutely no reason for you to be in a monogamous relationship. None!

Right now you should be having the time of your life because when you get my age you will see exactly why. You really should be playing the field. If you had plenty of women chasing you, the LAST thing you would ever think of is a monogamous relationship because you'd be to worried about not having to get with all the ladies you meet when you're out partying with your buddies.

Don't waste your time at this age to be in a relationship. Hit it! Quit it!

Well I would have a talk with her about the relationship before making any rash decisions. If your not ready then tell her and see what happens, don't just assume she's well into the serious relationship as women often change their minds. Maryland is better than Virginia anyways so perhaps if you lived there then there wouldn't be any problems, lol jking

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
