"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.

For those more knowledgeable than I. 2003 Acura Rsx-s I was told the heat shield for my catalyst converter is broken. There is a metal plate hanging of fmy car dragging on the ground as an oil pan would do but its not the oil pan. Is this type of repair covered under general warranty? I called the acura dealer but they wont really answer me. They want me to bring it in.
 

"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.

Maybe, maybe not.


Catalist would have two heat shields, one on top, one on bottom. You really need to tack the brocken piece in place, that's all. Go under your car, if the top piece not brocken, and only bottom brocken, you can rip it off, if top piece is missing, then you're in trouble.

It would be cheaper to go to an exhaust shop and pay for repair, which will only take 10 minutes. Tack it into place. If it's more serious then replace the catalic converter.


I know dealer should do it for free, perhaps. But it will take the whole day and you paying shop fees.
