"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.

she always tells me she misses me and stuff. do i tell her 'miss you too' or do I play a game to make her want me more? if so what should i do in response to that? also when she calls me stuff like "hey stud." "hey cutie" do i just ignore it? I have a feeling if I don't acknowledge these IOI's that she might just think I'm not sexually interested in her...
 

"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.

This depends. Is she your gf or just some girl your talking to right now.

If it's your gf then there is no problem telling her you miss her and it may make her happy to hear you say it.

If it's just some plate your spinning just do c/f and say something along the lines of "I know". Not that exact phrase but you get the point

You can't really go wrong here since she is obviously interested in you. Just don't say "thank you" when she says it.

She's not my girlfriend. She's a girl that I just talk too but tells me that she doesn't want a relationship and I tell her that I'm not looking for relationship either.

just reply something like "I know" or "yeah, I get that a lot." Or "come over and show me how much you missed me."

When she tells you "I miss you" tell her "I know."
When she says "Hey stud." you say "Yeah that's me."
When she says "I don't want a relationship right now" just shrug.

Remember for every 1 girl that sends you confusing messages like these, there's another 9 who are very clear about what they want from you. So go find your other 9 my friend.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

You say "I miss you too" if you do. If you don't, then don't say it. If you told her "I miss you" and she played a game to make your want her more, you would call her the biggest bvtch or attention wh0re ever.

also when she calls me stuff like "hey stud." "hey cutie" do i just ignore it?

You say "Hi Marie, how are you?" You act politely just like it was a second date. You don't acknowledge it, you don't bring it up. Only address if she asks you why you don't acknowledge it

I have a feeling if I don't acknowledge these IOI's that she might just think I'm not sexually interested in her...
Well if you haven't kissed her or slept with her after so many dates...she might have gotten the point.

When she says "I miss you" you tell her

"Prove it."

I read on this site and it's the first thing I thought of when I read your post, kinda proud that I'm fixing my mind to think of the right things to say :p

Unless she is your gf, don't tell her you miss her (especially if she has explicitly stated that she doesn't want a relationship).

By prompting you like this, she is trying to gauge your interest in terms of wanting a relationship (despite knowing you currently don't want one and her saying she doesn't either).

She is testing you. If she really isn't looking for a R right now, she wants to know you want one with her (hence the hot and cold).
