"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.

Why the hell would you want to be her friend?

From the title of this thread, I thought this was some reverse LJBF tactic.

Why do you ask to be someone's friend? That's creepy.
