"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.

Making my Intentions Clear

Just started talking to this cool girl. Got her number yesterday and we've been talking on and off throughout the day. If it's possible I thinking being in the talking stage or a relationship with her would be pretty cool. I feel like I've been texting her too casually though. She takes 30 minutes + to respond so maybe I'm not that important. Earlier though, she tweeted "if you want me, make it known". Of course it wasn't for me directly but I think I wanna follow that tweet.

How should I text her to make it known that I'm interested? Should I just type up my intentions? Or is that too much since we really just start talking to each other this morning. I kinda have to change something soon or else I'll be in the friendzone. Let's not forget that their are other boys in her messages as well. I could flirt but I don't wanna push her away etc.

Thanks guys

"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.

keeps texts to a bare minimum!

Texts are for setting up dates only after building brief rapport..

She could be busy, bur generaly if she is super interested she will reply as soon it is possible, not longer than 10min, if you dont have intention of being her friend, then go for it, you have nothing to lose, you are not together and you are not friends, so you are not losing either friend or lover, and if a lot of other guys are hitting on her, then her ego is probabbly huge and she can play how she wants, so if everyone has her, noone has her i hope you understand what i mean hahah, good luck!

You can't take her on a date? What fvcked up place is this? Called out in what way? That it's obvious you're interested? That's what you want to do, let her know you're interested.

You are much better off showing your interest with actions rather than words. Taking her on a date is one way to do it. Just generally flirting is plenty signaling for a girl, but it has to be slightly beyond the border of friendly chatter. Actions a guy wouldn't possibly do without being interested.

You gotta grow some balls and make some bold moves, telling her "I'm interested in you" isn't going to work and most likely is just awkward.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

be sexual, if she has a problem with it she doesn't like you anyway.

also ask her out if she responds well to you being sexual and your conversations in general.

. She takes 30 minutes + to respond so maybe I'm not that important.
30 minutes isn't so bad, any longer than an hour is bad though.
