"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.

Fellow DJs, I went to the mall today to practice some day game, and while leaving I thought of something that is either completely brilliant or extremely creepy, curious as to what the rest of you think.

I'm very sexual and let my intentions be known right off the bat with women, so I figured after a brief opener, maybe a giggle or 2 out of her I would ask her for her name and go to shake her hand. But as she gives me her hand I would pick it up kiss it and say something like "pleasure to meet you *insert name*" with a big grin. What do you guys think?
 

"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.

I think you'd prob come off as creepy honestly. I mean unless you look like a model, or like you belong on one of those erotic birthday cards from spencers..

Reeks of effort.

"Hey, lady. Don't you see how sexy I am? I am kissing your hand. And smiling."

I mean, whatever works for you. I'm not a "natural", but I have plenty of natural friends...never seen anyone do your routine before.

I could see it being a little creepy, maybe, but I'm not sure about extremely. It doesn't seem like you have a terrible amount to lose by trying it though.

Seems creepy but you can always try it out on a girl and then get your answer that way.

I have pulled off the "kissing the hand thing," a few times before, but only at formal events. It helps to know ballroom dancing.

Anyway, it's just, like anything else, part of an image. If you seem like you're forcing it, it won't work.

Also, again, context. Formal events, ****tail parties, this kind of thing can be great. Works for me.

I wouldn't do it in a mall.

Eugh, kissing hand = sleeze.

How about just talking to her and smiling like she's a normal human being.
