"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.

Do you guys agree with this?

After years of dating and several learning experience in the form of failed LTRs, LDRs, ONSs, and 1/2-daters, I feel like I'm getting more comfortable with the whole process. There seem to be fewer and fewer things that throw me for a loop, simply because I've seen them before. It turns out that women aren't really all that different from each other when you get down to it.

I've been seeing someone for a little over a month. We're in the same social group, but we work in different divisions of the same company. Not a SINGLE person in company knows that we're dating! So far we've been on 4 dates and have hung out several times in large groups at professional and unrelated social functions.

The craziest thing about this is that she and I were acquaintances before we started dating, which really took the edge off of the initial few dates. Our entertaining repoire and witty banter doesn't seem to get old, and we're developing stronger feelings for each other. She and I seem to share many of the same values, including views on fitness, nutrition, and edication.

This is fun!

I must make the best of this situation before I discover how crazy she is... they're all crazy, but some hide it better than others. Just a matter of time before it all blows up in our faces, but until that point I'm going to enjoy it

:-D
 

"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.

We're all crazy. We're all insecure. We all have something to offer. Any everything you see in women is a mirror reflection of yourself.

Yup, Deadly R, we all need to figure just how much "crazy" we can tolerate. Unfortunately, my tolerance level is very low and I've spent my life looking for a feminine woman who is capable of rational thought and relatively stable emotions.

I think that was findable 20 or 30 years ago, but today a woman like that is literally extinct. So I find myself struggling to adjust my tolerance level without turning my back on my convictions. It's a tough balance to strike.
