"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.

ok i'll try to make it quick, i had a post similar to this a long time ago there is this girl who liked me and i liked her, we went out on a couple of dates (not official boyfriend girlfriend) so then one week i ignore her over the december-january break (not intentionally) so she gets angry. Next 3 days she seems to be ignoring me and after i finally manage to talk to her online she asks me my opinion of whether a guy putting his arm around her during a movie means he likes her, i didn't get angry in the conversation but then i started to ignore her for another week intentionally (this is where i went wrong according to the last post). so in that week when i start ignoring her, she gets a boyfriend within 3 days and then two days later she calls me but i dont pick up. online she tells me she misses me and hasn't seen or talked to me in a while and wants to hang out. personally i thought i was still out (and i may well be) so i just tell her ive been really busy. so i try nexting her even though i like her, and its not as hard as i thought it would be cause ive done it two times before... but anyways 2 weeks later she tries to contact me again. she even used that gay poke thing in facebook that we used to do when she was still into me, and that she stopped doing just before she went out with the other guy. so i want to know does this mean she is still into me? or just looking as a friend cause i have no idea.
 

"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.

I say you're reading too much into it: she wants to remain friends with you. Next her and move on.

Of course, I could be wrong: i've been out of the game for a while and i only skimmed your passage lol.

Casanova is right. Your reading into it too much...she just wants to be friends thats all. Plus shes already got a boyfriend.

Its really not worth all the effort cuz your not gonna get anything out of it. Just next her.

It sounds like this chick is trying to validate herself. You were showing interest and then you quit. High school aged girls tend to take that as a form of rejection (all good looking chicks do for that matter). So she's calling you and begging you to hang out to see if you take the bait.... aka to see if you still think she's the sh*t. I'd imagine she keeps mentioning her "boyfriend" to see if you'll get jealous. In her mind, if you get jealous it means you've still got something for her. Girls have this amazing ability to start contacting you again once you finally move on or forget about them.

But the other guys are right. You more than likely won't get anything (aka sex) out of the interaction... although there is always a chance, no matter how slim. My opinion is she's just trying to validate her hotness/femininity. Now if this was a chick you had dated it would be different, but I'm not writing another long-ass paragraph..... tired, hitting the sack
