"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.

Hey guys.

I am living at home during the summer, and have a house that i rent out with 3 other guys in my college town.

I havent been home since summer started, but the landlord says that I still must pay the full utilities. This doesnt seem very fair so Im wondering if this is the normal procedure?
 

"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.

If you signed the lease, and the lease doesn't cover utilities, thats something you ahve to work out between your roommates, not your landlord.

If you split the bill four ways with your other room mates, you still owe for utilities if you still have a lease there. My room mate moved out four months ago and pays his share of utilities and cable even though I only see him drop by once during those four months. His lease isn't up till August, so he's going to keep paying until his lease is up.
