"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.

Right, first things first. Im fvcking ugly (Like the bloke out of this english comedy "League of gentlemen":

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/rebelyell123/_859894_league150.jpg ,) so all the techniques and stuff on here don't work for me, and believe me, its not for the want of trying (Bootcamp, FS.com, Maniac High, sumagora, WoMS, DYD, you name it, I've tried it and failed at it)

Basically, the only place for me to be able to meet girls is over the internet. So I signed up to www.okcupid.com and met someone in the states, who seemed really nice and sweet.

We talked almost every night and it ended up with her asking me to marry her. I know, it sounds odd, but believe me when I say that, someone asking you to marry you, especially when you look like me, is an absolute godsend. I thought, thats it, i'd cracked it.

We got to e-mailing loads and loads, and she sends me pics, a lot of them quite risque (Although I havn;t been so stupid as to send any like that of me), she even sent me a card through the post.

Then things went downhill massively. We didnt speak for a week. When your confidence is as shot as mine is, then you need a little bit of reassurance.

1 week turned into 2 weeks, which then turned into 3. Over this 3 week period, I spoke to her once for 20 minutes over the net. She made no effort to call me, and all I got were the occasional 1 line e-mails saying "Sorry, I can't chat tonight: Insert bull$hit excuse here"

One of my friends committed suicide during this period, and I got an e-mail from her saying "Sorry about your friend, by the way I can't chat tonight" :rolleyes:

Her excuse for this 3 week period is that she got fired and spent 3 weeks moving from job to job, looking for work, yet she keeps a blog, and from this, I see that she's spend her time doing a whole lot of nothing.

Sunday came along and I laid it on the line with her, either she makes more of an effort or its over. Fine she says, I'll make a concerted effort to speak to you more than twice a week.

And lo and behold, 14 days later and same situation. She's now expecting me to believe some excuse that her friend tried to kill her husband and how she broke his jaw or some nonsence.

she e-mails me and says she'll be on at certain times of the day, and she never materialises. She never e-mails me, she won't call me on the phone.

So what exactly should I do? I know your all going to say "Dump her" but before you do, think about it. Im so fvcking ugly, I get spat at in the street by people, I can't even go out round town anymore, simply because I know I'll just end up being miserable. This girl has given me a glimmer of hope, but even if it is a lie, is it worth giving up, simply because if I leave her, then I'm on my own again.

Im at university, final year, I have depression and am on Lustral 100mgs, if that has any relevance
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

No, man thats a picture of the guy he claims to look like, outof Theleague of Gentleman.

Hey Ragnarok, I'm not gonna get into this 2 deeply cos it sound complex, but chances are you will probably never get to sleep wit this particular girl.
You need some self confidence..."I'm so f.uckin ugly"????
I know some seriously ugly dudes that dress well, keep their hair smart, shave and look clean cut etc...and they have no problem with women cos of confidence and self belief.
You probably heard all this before but its true man, you just gotta believe in yourself, I mean I'm average looking and do well above average when it comes to chicks.
Lower your standards at first, go after some 5/6s and you'll soon be on the road to being a DJ or player or whatever. Just don't obsess over this one online chick.
