"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's sick, what should I do?

Guys, I have this "spiritual" thing with a 34 years old woman. We are not in an official relationship, never had sex, but we connect by signals (mostly on facebook) and brief personal tense encounters (we have reasons for this behaviour).

Please beware that this is not the average bitc** party girl, it is girl with quality. And she's a lot into me. I also like her, but I'm keeping myself a challenge, having my own life, other options, etc. Also the aim of this post is NOT to look advice how to advance to a more sexual relation.

My aim is simple. At present we both post on facebook, every day at 23:45, one specific pic, to signal our love... (don't cry guys). I don't do more than that. We don't contact more than that at the present. But today she posted "I'm sick with amigdalitis... :(". She's obviously seeking some attention from me.

What do you guys would do? Should I keep my game and say nothing about her being sick?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

You're seem kinda contradictory to me...

If you wanted more from her, it would be understandable that you are unsure of what to do and come ask for advice here.

But you seem to say you do not want more from her... So in that case, what the fvck is the problem, what are you so indecisive about that you want our advice on the situation?

If I were you, I'd be honest with myself and ask myself the question: What the fvck do I actually want from this girl and this situation? Once you got that figured out, come back and ask advice about how to achieve whatever it is you wanna achieve. But as long as you don't know what you want to achieve, how are we to give you advice?

I want her. But I'm not forcing, it's an investment for the future.
Because of personal circumstances I don't want to advance right now. I'm in the process of a divorce with kids... We are going to study together at night in September, so I'm aiming to that period to make more sexual moves.

I have to agree with Die Hard. Somehow you've convinced yourself that all you want from this girl is a picture on facebook. I'm not sure how her having tonsillitis changes things. It's not like you want this relationship to get deeper or anything, right?

Also, hiding facts from the people you're asking help from doesn't do you any good.

Edit: Just saw your most recent post. My advice is to send her a message that you hope she feels better soon. This isn't going to be the turning point in your relationship either way.

Guys I thank you your insights. I'm really not chasing girls or this one in particular at his moment of my life. I just keep this "spiritual" thing on facebook mostly because she started, and if it ends well it's ok, if not, I don't care. I'm not really rationalizing this relationship.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Troll post is troll or AFC behavior is AFC.

There's no love, no relationship, and you're living in a deluded fantasy world ....

Relationships that operate this way either end in the person being a dude, she trying to scam you, or she's trying to suck you into a cult.

I'm being harsh because this whole thing is silly for a 35 year old.

Yeah we know. She's special and perfect.

Aren't they all....:rolleyes:
 

"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.

Thank you guys.
I'm being AFC with this girl, and I'm aware of that.
This is not me, I'm doing it as a last resort to get this girl on the horizontal in a near future. Maybe I should dump her right now... You made me think about that.

No need. You actually have to be going out with someone first in order to dump them.

I'm not sure if this thread was meant as a joke, but just in case its serious.
No need to dump her, just stop posting pics at 23:45.
