"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.

When you say "I'm not looking for a relationship right now." What do you really mean?

and please, don't give me a ****y answer - like it mean what it says - besides that is what I'm interested in.
 

"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.

It means you aren't actively looking, but rather, you are passively hoping to be the recipient of one. Or in a different context entirely it can mean, "You are very unattractive."

Alternatively, it can mean "I am currently overstocked with relationships right now. Warehouse space is at a premium." Or it can mean " I want to be alienated from humanity, to have no ties whatsoever with family or anyone, to be a young loner".

Good grief

Isn't this the kind of thing emotional women do??
--Honey, when you said my thighs look fat, what did you mean? THEY LOOK FAT!!!

Sorry for the smart azz answer, but it's the only one I can give...When I say I'm not looking for a relationship, it means (drum roll please...) I'm not looking for a relationship. So, if they're looking for a relationship with me, they're gonna be disappointed.

Be direct. Give it to them straight, no chaser. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Dudes like you are why women as so damn psycho crazy and analyze everything about men/women interactions.

I only asked a question. I didn't say I lied about this. I don't. I was only asking really if other guys lie when they say this.

Holy sh!t!

I wouldn't lie either. If it was HER I didn't want a relationship with, I would tell her in different words:

I'm not looking for a relationship with you right now.
 

"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.
