"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.

Well as I said earlier, I'd met this girl elsewhere and gotten the digits. I found her number about a week later and we chatted mostly online before meeting up (she said she wasn't a fan of the phone). Online she was feisty and seemed to give back a lot of the barbs.

Anyway, I met up with her to see a play in downtown (for the record, it was a bad venue for ice-breaking; semi-expensive and I hardly got to talk to her at all between and before acts). Christ. Where did all the agression go? She was so flat I couldn't believe it was the same person. I'll give her this; she was pleasant. But pleasant isn't enough. I want Tracy and Hepburn chemistry.

I won't be calling her again though I did half-heartedly say I would. Made a quick but polite exit and now I'm wondering if people tend to 'give it back' more freely over IM. If that's the case, I'm sticking to the phone from now on.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

actually, going to a play was a bad idea for all the reasons you listed. Don't do things where you can't talk on the first date.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

A play is actually a good idea as long as its following coffee/lunch/dinner.

You need time to build rapport and get to talking first. I actually took a girl to a play once after dinner but I knew before dinner was finished that we were not going to click. I was going to leave her there actually, and just go to the play on my own but my AFC kicked in and I took her to the play and the night ended with a kiss, her promise to call me and her having a new boyfriend two weeks later.

Moral of the story: Don't take her to the play if dinner sucks.

It looks like my friend's opening set isn't for another few weeks (I got the impression it was sooner).

I'm not too wild about this anymore, but I might just leave her a message saying "concert is a no go until mid-may, hit me up if you want to get together sooner" and not call her again unless she's the one who does it first. I already have another date on Friday anyway (this one's hotter).

Why would you tell her "hit me up if you want to...", you put the ball in her court like a pansy. Stop acting like a wuss. If you want to see her, set things up with her yourself.

Er, I really don't; thought we covered that. I'm just trying to be polite.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
