"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.

After a month and a half the first hoover came today. It was a phone call and then a text that said "I understand why you don't answer I just miss my best friend. Take care." I have not and will not answer it. I only post because this is better than therapy. You all lived it and know that the hoover is a part of the post-credits script. No relative, friend or therapist could be as much help as this board is.

I do wonder if there will be more to come and whether or not it's be a long, overly dramatic text/email or some insidious, vicious jealousy ploy. Her birthday is only 3 weeks out. I can only imagine how the traumatic loss of control for such a spoiled princess has the potential to amplify and ruin "her day". I'm not longer confused and in the fog...it just pains me that it wasn't unconditional love after all.

Understanding fully that these people have zero capacity for empathy, it seems they feel regret when they know they've truly fukedd up past the point of return...
 

"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.

Why did you even read them? You will get more, the next one will be heartfelt then as you dont respond she will become bitter. And she knows this is the best way to get a response out of you. You think she doesnt know you will read that and it will make you feel good?

Its happening now , she is building you up then one day she will text you some mean **** and bring you down. At wich point you will go into panic mode and try to contact her but yet again you have given her control.

NC is NC...dont play with these women dude you WILL loose in the end.
