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've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
I think you are a waste of time because you don't want our advice you simply want someone to tell you what you are doing is the right thing. Nobody is going to do that here so I am not sure what you are expecting to get out of it. You have all the posters telling you the same thing and you still keep trying to do what you want to do and not listening to any of it.
I think we are all outsiders looking in with minimal info. I think we all gave you our $.02 based on what we've read. But only you have the details and nuances to determine if she's worth sticking it out with. Have you talked to her about your futures and do you two even know what that is or have a vision?
If you are willing to give it another chance, just remember Actions over words. Don't put any weight on what she says but observe what she does and hold her to it.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
