"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 do not have a girlfriend, currently; however, my best friend does, and he is in some deep s.h.i.t.

I need some advice to pass down to him; or perhaps, is there anything I can do to help, as a friend?

Here is the story:

They are very serious about each other, but her boyfriend was an ******* at times. They broke up and got back together, due to my negotiating skills. But, at this stage, it's far from my control. The fate of their relationship lies in their hands - I think.

He promised her when they got back together that things will be like the "good old days" before he became a jerk. Apparently, things were different. She even acted different because she claims to have lost the same "feeling." However, the love is still there. I guess you can think of this as a candle in need of rekindling.

No, "NEXTing" her is not an opinion. What are some things that he can do to fix things up? What can he do to open her up again?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

LoL. Send him to this site?

Though, honestly, their relationship is none of your business. I wouldn't get involved, so I have no advice. :)

It becomes my business if my buddy suffers from it.

Love is not enough partner. Thats the short and dirty of relationships. I loved my ex and her son alot, but couldnt deal with her **** any longer. Had to tell her to F*ck Off!! The first sentence is sooo true I thought about getting it tattooed on my arm. For it to work they have to like each other, and Nexting is Always an option, there are women everywhere!!!
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
