Any articles on the main site about moving out of the "friend zone". Any articles will be appreciated and I will add rep points 4 u.
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.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I think that this is something a lot of women do. In my impression, it's a manipulation thing. "I act jealous, pretend to act as though I'm interested, maybe even flirt, you start asking questions, about my interest (drama drama drama) maybe become interested in me, and then I shoot you down. Then I can say I shot you down, and you're another guy that I had to turn down because I'm so hot."rrrrr said:I've got a girl I'm friends with, she even moved but we keep in touch every few days on chat. I say anything remotely sexual and she's like "don't even go there." I know if I talked to her about more than friends, I'd get shot down, so I just have friendly conversations with her, yet whenever I say "i'm going out of town" or I'm going to this restaurant, her response is always "who are you going with?" or "who did you go with?" if I told her I ate at a nice restaurant. she knows I'm not in a relationshp but she always wants to know who i'm with and who they are. Once I said I'm chatting with another girl and she totally freaked out, calling me slut, etc. I'll talk about some other girl we know, and she'll always be like "you like her don't you?" Yet we're just friends. Her jealousy is about the only indicator i get from her, but it doesn't turn into anything real, and I doubt it ever will. If I said I met a girl and we have a real connection, that may be the only thing that ever motivates her.
Yeah, she was kinda quick to call us "friends" and it's a term she uses repeatedly, so she can say wha... we're just friends! Thanks. She's just someone to pass time with now.Mental said:I think that this is something a lot of women do. In my impression, it's a manipulation thing.

I know a woman who's doing the same thing. She found out I was interested in someone, figured out who, and went into a jealous tyrade. And yet we're "just friends." I didn't fall for the drama. I still treat her like she's my annoying sister.
Don't think for one minute that she's interested. That's not an insult for you. Just realize that she probably does this to other "friends" so she can get "high" off of feeling attractive.
