"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.

If you imagine a suave guy in your mind I'm sure the first thing you think of is an easy smile.

This is something I've always struggled with. Growing up I rarely smiled. I think this was mostly because I was shy and didn't like outwardly expressing my feelings, even good feelings, so I bottled them up. I think it is also partly because I think a lot and when you are concentrating hard it is natural to frown a little. So I tend to smile on the inside and people can't tell when im happy.

I try and force myself consciously to smile but it turns into a grimace as im straining. I also feel incredibly self conscious

Anyone got any tips for this or exercises to help develop a natural and habitual smile.

I wanna be one of those guys who naturally smiles all the time
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Look in the mirror and pick out a smile that you like. Just experiment with different faces. I've also had this problem because I grew up as a shy kid and never really smiled. When I started learning all this stuff, a smile was what I really needed, but I would never do it because I was insecure by how it would have looked since I've never done it before. So instead I would stand in the mirror, try out different smiles that I thought looked the best, and that's what I sticked with. Now I'm smiling almost all the time.

Must be a common problem for shy people. I also feel weird smiling because I'm just not use to doing it.
