"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.

I asked a girl out I've been on a date with before to go out and get Sushi tonight. She told me that she had plans to go to an industry party but she would let me know if that fell through.

Well I didn't hear from her all day and my friends birthday is tonight and she's going to a club and invited me. So I decided to go to the birthday instead of waiting around to possibly hear from my "date".

So my "date" called to tell me that her plans fell through and that she now wanted to go to sushi. I explained everything to her and invited her to the club with me. She declined... saying that she didn't want to drive anywhere (she lives 35 min away). So I told her if she changed her mind to let me know and that I would put her on the list just in case.

She got a little attitude with me and told me to have a good time.

Did I play this right? I mean... I'm not going to sit around to be someone's backup plan on a Friday night.
 

"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.

Yeah, you played it right.

She was just pissed because her backup plan (you) fell through. I have to say that you handled it better than I would have.

She got attitude because you weren't there to be the back-up chump but at the same time was unwilling to drive anywhere to meet up with you...

Oh boy :)

Well played! You might have some trouble on your hands if this one comes through for you though :p

Cool.

At first I thought to myself, "Damn I can't believe I just blew off a cute girl like that!" But that's exactly what I was supposed to do under these circumstances. If I would have said, "Oh, your free? Well then I'll drop everything and run right over!", then I would have been a total AFC chump. I'm glad I didn't take that route, even if I would have seen her tonight. I would have lost respect. I've gotta get ready for the club now. :D
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
