"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.

"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.

There is no trick. You have to want to quit. That's it. There are aids to help you stay off of them but the decision comes down to whether or not you truly want to quit or not.

KarmaSutra is absolutely right. About 2 years ago, I decided that I wanted to try to quit. I bought some patches and those worked for about a month. I was happy with myself, but then started back up again. Later on, I tried to quit again. I bought more patches and those gave me headaches. That lasted about 1 week.

One day, I was out on my balcony and lit up a cigarette. It was the worst tasting thing I ever had in my life. I felt sick to my stomach. I exhaled and threw up over the side of the balcony. I put out the cigarette. Since that day, I have not ever had a craving for cigarettes. At times, I go out to clubs and hang around people that smoke. The smoke doesn't bother me. When I get home and smell my clothes from the previous day, I get sick again.

You just have to want to quit. You don't need any aids, or swinging watches. Just want it.

I have one year smoke-free, and it was kinda easy. The BIG PART was that I was through with smoking. After smoking for 23 years- I simply got tired of the daily hacking coughs, the huge lung cookies, and the odor.

At first, I did have to rely on the nicotine gum- for the first three months. After that- I just kept forgetting to buy the gum and said, "I don't need this either". Now, I can ride my mountain bike up a 10% uphill grade four miles, without a rest. My doctor is extremely proud of me. He said at the rate I am going- my body will repair itself like it NEVER SMOKED.......in less than 5 years.

Increase your LIFE EXPECTANCY................quit the butts NOW.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
