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.
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.

I've seen some of your posts and your pretty opinionated with a smart ass tone, often adverse to the whole "DJ" ideology (on paper of course).Papermoon said:How. How can you do this?

How. How can you do this? How can you betray someone like this? How does it work? What happens to a guy who does that??
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
That's BS. You could be with a beautiful woman that has sex with you whenever you want, and still want to get more elsewhere. As the saying goes, "Show me the most beautiful woman in the world and I'll show you a guy who's tired of F-ing her." It's just the nature of man; we desire to spread our seed.Desert Fox said:You need to put out more and become more attractive to your bf. Otherwise, just get used to being cheated on or break up.
Those are your choices, pick one and move on.
How can one have more than one friend? How can one have more than one relationship? Is this seriously your question?Papermoon said:For three months. Three ****ing months.

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.
