"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 work at gap a couple of days a week afterschool. This girl got hired about two months ago who I think is hot and I talk to her sometimes. A co-worker of mine who I am cool with, Dan, thinks she's hot and they talk sometimes also.

The first manager I worked for left the other day and so we had a party. Dan did not come for whatever reason, but the cute girl came over to talk to me and we chatted for a while about a bunch of random stuff. I mentioned that I was dissapointed Dan did not come seeing as our manager was leaving. After I said that, she for whatever reason said that Dan was cute, but had a funny spanish accent.

This was uncharacteristic of her and out of left field so it threw me back. I didn't really know how to answer so I just started laughing and said I bet he'd be glad to hear that. She didn't say anything after but I then changed the subject as if nothing happened and then we just talked a little bit more about random stuff.

I'm not sure if I handled it correctly. Any pointers would be appreciated on how I should have handled it.
 

"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.

Yeah you totally handled that incorrectly!

You should have ninja-kicked her in the face, that'd teach her!

WELL, I have read somewhere on the board when girls ask stuff like that they are testing you/it's a **** test. I was surprised by what she said so I assumed it must have been.

No, no, no. Here is an example of a **** test:

1) I take a girl on a date, later we are on my balcony, looking at the traffic below. (I live on the 24th floor of a huge building). I massage her back for 2 minutes, but I dont play the cards right, and she says she has to go after letting me massage her for a while. I definately messed up in some other ways on that date.

2) She emails me and says, "I have to ask you something before we arrange our next meeting. Your hands were wandering places last night. Does this mean anything?"

Reality check:
OF COURSE SHE KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS!!!!!!!!!!!! OF COURSE SHE KNOWS! THERE IS NO DOUBT IN THE WORLD THAT SHE COULD NOT KNOW WHAT I MEANT BY THAT!!! HELLEN KELLER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE IDEA.

I took the AFC route and say: "Yes, I massaged you because I like you. I'm attracted to you. Of course I want to massage you." She knew this anyway, she was giving me the sh!t test.

The next email said that we could only be friends. I replied: "Let's cut contact." NEXT!

That is a sh!t test, and I haven't read anything about them, but the best way is to NOT ANSWER SERIOUSLY AND HONESTLY. As long as you do not answer seriously and honestly you have won. Remember, she already knows the real answer, she is playing a game.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
