"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.

Alright, so things are stalled out with Megan. She's in DC for the week, coming back on Friday. To me that says date this weekend. My house probably won't work, and I'm not ready for it. Hers might but should I invite myself over?

I'm more likely to go for another public place. I really try not to do movies, the escalation is obvious and easy, but cliche. Where else can we make out in peace?

I'm thinking I might try to do a mall/movie combination deal. Any advice from the sosuave crew?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

No place like Nebraska
I like the mall/movie combo. You can walk around and talk to her for a little while then get her in the movie and escalate the **** outta her. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best and if she likes you it wont matter where you take her.

I feel like I need to ask this in regards to HB Kaitlin on my journal. I wanna take her someplace warm where we can wrestle and maybe escalate into sex.

My problem is that neither of our places are particularly quiet, it's cold outside, and I'm generally not sure where to go. If push comes to shove I can always try to polite to her parents and then hopefully her basement is private enough. Otherwise I'm open to suggestions.

Well, honestly, my favorite date would be enjoying 'flowers' (why do I keep up this charade? There are drugs in my life...) in my car with her, playing music, 'wrestling' (lol). Then going and playing in Toys R Us. I've done this a few times with my girlfriend-at-the-time. Nothing like post-sex silliness plus high silliness plus little kid toys.

I don't know about that for a first date. Or even a third. When am I allowed to pull this one off? It's fun...
 

"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.
