"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 moving to Eastern Europe

I'm going to be an English instructor. I have my expenses in the USA down to a very low level (basically homeowner's insurance on very cheap house with no mortgage, and some cash to pay a guy to cut the grass every once in a while), and have a decent IRA that I could tap for a little here and there, although I hope to be earning enough to pay the bills while I am there. And just getting out of Chapter 7 bankruptcy has cleared away all of my other expenses. :cheer:

I've totally given up on the American dating scene. Maybe some men here have better luck with American women, but I haven't been able to scratch anything not obese, or with a brood of rugrats, etc., since about '98, whereas in my forays in Eastern Europe since then, I have had a great social life. And as my consulting business has failed in this cr@ppy economy, I see no reason to stick around working some stupid low paying job so I can get rejected by obese, b1tchy women.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

For me, it seems to be better. Like I said, I can get work at about $15/hr. The Wal-Mart only pays $8/hr. I am otherwise unemployable.

And oh yes, I'm not going there for the economy.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

If I could ever secure employment in Eastern Europe, which I have been thinking about, I would so do it, so good for you. But one thing to bear in mind, if you don't already know, is that you will be hit with double taxation—you will still pay income taxes to Uncle Sam unless you renounce your citizenship.

MatureDJ, I wish you nothing but the best on your future adventures abroad.

I too, have thought about becoming an English instructor, and have done much research on this career choice.

I think, you have an exciting future ahead, and you will truly not regret one moment on this journey of yours.

All the best, and enjoy every moment of it. :up: BTW, the women are beautiful over there... Don't get too spoiled. :)

Good luck. I'd be interested in reading a blog and maybe seeing some pictures of what the other side of the world has to offer.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
