"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.

Ok so I tried sarging this 2 set
but for some reason I couldn't gather the balls to do it
I have NO problems sarging when i'm inebriated
WTF?

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the same fearlessness of approach when I'm sober as if I had a couple drinks?

It's not the fear of rejection that got me. I don't fear rejection. I don't even know what was stopping me. It's not the lack of an opener. I had an opener. I really can't explain where my anxiety was coming from.
 

"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.

Most time I hear guys talk about wanting to approach and not they have some plan in their head like this. It seems to paralyze people.

Just go for it. While they were in line ask what is good or something. As soon as you start hatching plans and drawing diagrams in the war room you're screwed.
