"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.

Im really pissed at myself now. I play tennis and all summer we have practice 3x a week. The good part is that we practice with the girs too :) . And the good thing is that the tennis team isnt big so there no competition, and not to sound ****y but Im one if not the best looking guy on the team. But anyway long story made short, one of the sexiest chicks in school is on the girl's team, and I've choked up TWICE whenever I got close to her. WTF?? Seriously if I fail with her then Im okay with that, doesn't mean I want to though. But still, anyone know any openers or w/e? I need to stand out somehow. I also catch her looking at me throughout practice. If I wait too long my chance will be gone =/. Maybe I just need to sack up, but still...help pls?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

There are no openers that can help you.

How about being authentic?

I bet you no other guy came up to her and told her how nervous he was about coming up and talking to her but you had to do it or you wouldn't be able to look atyourself the next morning. You could say anything you want as long as you hold your frame.

Strong frame!

Do that and you will succeed.
