"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.

Total sausagefest. I invited over a dozen girls, and two came. One of them was my cousin.

I graduated high school a few months ago, and most of the people I invited were from my graduating class. Also, I'm fairly popular, and not surprisingly, most people agreed to attend the party, called for the address, etc, yet didn't show up last minute. Now, it doesn't matter that the party flopped, but it surprises me how so many people could agree to attend, then not show up without calling to cancel, etc.

There's a question somewhere in there. Any ideas?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

the party was promising to them but things came up to them that were more attractive.. how many kegs you have? you can work on getting more girls to buy into your party and actually have them there and calling people to come and join... first you get the girls then guys just kinda show up...

That and assuming they all just graduated high school or are in high school at the moment, their attention spans are probably not gonna be that great. Or if they were already drunk then they probably don't feel like going anywhere. The same thing happens in college too, pretty common occurrence.
