"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.

A woman who seems perfect in every way (sexuality, submissiveness, etc- LTR material) who has a long time male friend with a wife/kids. They speak on the phone every couple of months to keep in touch and visit each other from different states (with their families along) once a yr (staying at each other's houses).

I've been burned in my past relationship once (but that was her ex bf) so my thinking is skewed on this, part of me says it's no big deal part of me says it's a ticking time bomb. It's not like I can ask her to stop seeing her friend but I did tell her that I'm a little leary of women having male friends in any capacity, it usually is a red flag. I left it at that even though she tried to discuss it more and provide proof that they're simply friends and have stayed that way for 20 yrs.

"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.

in 2018 it's a little ridiculous to get worked up over this especially without lots of other red flags
Yeah I think so too...but you know, burned once, twice shy. That's why I thought I'd ask here.
