"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.

Alright, well I have this girl who likes me. Probably a Seven.

-I like her, but not that much.

-She has a brother that could kill me.

My problem, you see, is that I don't want to take her to Homecoming.

October 12th. I would like to get a girlfriend for awhile, but my timeline is a little hazy.

Is there a way I can ask her out. Fool around.

Then seperate before Homecoming without getting maimed or making things akward?

Before finally asking another girl to Homecoming lol...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

haha dude, my advice is forget about her if you're afraid of her brother. you'll be setting yourself up with more possible doubts/downsides.
but if you find you really want her as a girlfriend, I see no reason in not wanting to take her to homecoming, so just go for it.

Let me rephrase. Brothers. She has a lot of them.

She likes me alot already and I haven't even made any moves.

I don't see her becoming unattached in the time period.

What I'd like to do is ask her out, fool around, get her to lose interest, break up mutually.

I don't see it happening though. Speak more of this AFCness.

if you're clingy and stuff to her and act like you're totally in love, she'll lose interest in you and you'll get rid of each other.

don't even think about her brothers... they mean nothing.

if you wanna do it, make a move, and if not, thats ok. Problem solved by just dropping it.
 

"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.

Sorry guys, I'm taking the ***** way out. Just acting like nothing ever happened.

She'll catch on eventually, right?

No lol you'll just make her feel bad, and she could become angry at you, depending on what kind of a person she is.

LJBF her.
