"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.

I'm looking for advice. I met a girl at work and I called her a few times and left messages because she doesn't answer her phone. I asked her if she was going out to a bar with a group of friends recently and she said she wasn't sure. I asked her to call me if she was, but she asked me to call her because she doesn't have my number. So I did, and she didn't answer, I find ou the next day she did go to the bar we discussed and she never bothered to anser the phone or call me back. I told her I'm not bothering to call her again. Her response was a "fine" but it may as well have been "I don't give a f**k what you do"

The next day, Friday, as she was walking out, she talked to me a little bit and turned to walk away, just looking toward my direction, "call me on Saturday". Saturday comes around, I had things to do, I left a text message about 11 pm saying I could not call but maybe we can have dinner next week. I just checked and she text messaged me back a few minutes after i wrote to her and her response was "huh?" My message was kind of short and not correct grammar because I just wanted to write it, I was tired from working all day, but it was clear what I was trying to say. I kind of think I made a mistake by doing this. We actually haven't had a date yet but spend a lot of time together at work and go out to lunch, etc. She wouldn't put up with your sissy or metro sexual type for a minute and she probably has more balls than most guys out there. I do think she's into me though. I was totally expecting a no response at all to my message but instead I got a "huh?"
 

"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.

From what you wrote I'd say it's 50/50.

>I told her I'm not bothering to call her again.
Kind of extreme...considering you called/mssged her after. Don't come off desperate.

>but instead I got a "huh?"
A response is better than no response, at least now you have the opportunity to repeat yourself and see what she says.

Try your luck again, this time either use proper spelling or call :)

She's not interested.

But she may throw scraps out there to keep you following a carrot ("call me on x day") so she can have the ego boost of some guy after her (chicks love ANY attention). However, she doesn't even seem to be bothering with that most of the time. Don't fall for it anyway. Next her.

She's not interested in the "sissy or metrosexual type" and yet you TEXT MESSAGED HER?

Text messaging is almost as wussy as frickin' MSN or "god forbid" My(Cry)Space.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I didnt ezactly read everyones response but if this were to happen to me i would probably assume it"s not gunna work out so i would just turn it around like your turning her down:
Her: "huh?"
you Oh im sry something came up and im pretty busy. so maybe next time if your lucky ;-)

and thats it...if she's even remotly interested in you, you'll find out soon enough..

Well she really likes screwing around and not being direct, she played games before she would even go to lunch with me.
Here was our conversation:

Her: I'm mad at you.
Me: Why
Her: You never invite me to lunch
Me: You always say no. (I maybe asked her twice)
Her: You didn't ask me today
Me: Do you want to go to lunch today and don't say no
Her: Let me think about it
Me: I'm going with some friends maybe we can go some other time.
This pissed her off and she ended up coming along

Now she insists we have lunch together every day and gets mad when I don't (or pretends to be mad). I tried calling her again yesterday, got no answer (she told me she never answers her phone), just left another text message, being very clear. I don't have an answer yet. She's probably playing games, just going for attention, not interested in having a dinner, or just really wanted a more direct message. Other than that I've done all I can but it didn't hurt to try one more time. After this I'm done. In any case this is a learning experience. Even if it fails it will help me on what to do next time. I knew right from the beginning she would be a challenge and that's why I put effort into it, just to see if I could do it. She probably practices the female version of Don Juan.

I don't even know how to text message on my bloody ultra-user-unfriendly phone.

But it can come in handy for contacting people at concerts and festivals when it's too damn loud to hear them.

Well you guys were right, it didn't work out, she threw more carrots, I didn't take them
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I think what happened was that I took 2-3 months to make a move. I noticed a change in her personality I'd say 3 weeks ago, plus there's this guy on assignment temporarily for the next 3 weeks there that really got her attention. She's doing the exact same things with him she used to do with me! I really learned you gotta strike while the iron's hot.

Text messages for the most part are a waste of time and money, especially if you don't have an unlimited text message plan. The only upside to them is the ability to talk to multiple people at the same time. Some girls will text me but not call, as well as answer texts but not answer a call. I was curious why this was, but after understanding the maturity level of these girls (18-20) I really didn't care to know that much anymore.
