"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.

"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.

You could eat off of my floor, though I don't reccomend it. Might die from some disease.

But seriously, my room is clean, though if people are over, they would probaly be more likely to hang in the living room, as my room is freaking small.

But it is uber organized, because all my computer stuff, and other junk is in my closet.
 

"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.

Well obvioiusly, clean it up, organize your workspace, get any food containers out, and any food, burn some candles to get a nice scent, maybe repaint the walls, clean the carpet, some nice sheets, and nice blankets, just mainly organize everything, and keep it that way.

I need to look at the pictures again. Ok, so you need to organize everything, and especially the clothing, sell stuff that you don't want to keep, organize some more, don't stop, clean the carpet, clean the walls, or cover them up with some posters, or something, just cover the space, make it smell nice, organize any loose cables you might have lying about, and you should be jet set.

organize - k
clothes - need to put somewhere unmessed up
carpet - must clean room of all bs
walls - tape must die, might retouch crap spots, might look into suitable painting/poster to supplement a wall.
cables - big issue, needs to be addressed badly (speaker)

Depends on the day.. some days everythings all nice in alpha order and all that jazz but then other days I'll get some crazy project in my head and I devote my full attention to it at the expense of organization.

Doc, I think your first priovity would be getting a rather large trash bag and cleaning up the place.. poster is a good idea.

Curious:

Is that a sideways chair in front of the car seats?

I'm gonna start wroking on stuff down here, I'll post back when I'm done in a few months.
 

"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.

I think that you need "areas"... Like section off a computor area, confine all computor related possesions to the computor area, have a "relax" area, chairs (*please please please not the crappy one- at least put a throw over that thing!*), TV, couch, etc- do you have a floor plan of where stuff is? Cause you can use couches and things to sort of cut a room in half...

STORAGE is a major issue here too- bookshelves, boxes, cabinets- anything to organise it all!

Also, pannelled walls only make it look dark, and make the room look smaller.


Ps. Does "changing rooms" air in the US?

what, mine?

even if not:
I'm really retarded for doing that, it's where I dump small zips of progs, text files, shortcuts, other small stuff.

At one point, I had the WHOLE screen covered, it was awesome.

I want windows to have list view for desktop..bastards.

I'm rearranging stuff right now.. **** are desks heavy. I'm moving the couch in front of the TV unit and moving the TV unit where the folding table with the printers on it is, the desk and printers and all that computer stuff is going off into the other part of the basement that wasn't really pictured in my first post. I'll post pictures in a few hours when I get done.

My desktop has no icons on it, as shown here, but thats just personal preference: http://www.theabworld.com/mypad/ScreenShot026.jpg

Oh and a tip... never ever ever get cats as pets... I've been cleaning up after the damn things for the past hour.

I've been wanting to code my own version of the windows shell, this way...I don't need icons, I don't need a start menu and I don't get the crashing that explorer has.
