"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 so I had met this girl, and we had a short fling. She was getting way too attached, so I gave her the cold shoulder for a few days. She leaves a message that we're through. Great for me, I move on. A little over a week, possibly 2, passes by. Not sure, not keeping count. That brings me to the begining of last week. So technically almost 3 weeks. I was in Disney the past week, and last night while I'm waiting in line for our last ride, I get a text that she's pregnant.

Naturally I have to break the ice and call to see what it's all about. She wasn't it was her "friend" fooling around. But she had this attitude like there was no bad blood between us. Then she starts asking if I'll see her again, etc. WTF. It's like I was tricked into calling so she can try to win me back. What a low blow. I told her I was on vacation and I had to go. I hung up and that's been the end of it for now.

This chick is nuts, agree?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

LOL

I've got to text that to a girl I haven't talked to in a while.

See what she says, than I can try to win her back.

She'll probably think I'm a retard, no matter how strong my game is. Man, that sucks, such a simple move, and she's going to think I am a creepy bastard:p

I don't think that she's nuts at all. She just likes you very much. I thought that was the object of the exercise?

If you can't deal with the possibility that a fling might go further (on an emotional or any other level), don't have them. no use coming on here and whining you were tricked or whatever, you asked for it by getting involved.

and squat more. does the body good.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Why shouldn't I have flings, because someone may get the wrong idea of this "exercise"?

How many girls go through flings, then call the guy back weeks later to say she's pregnant. When the guy calls, she tells him it was a joke, or her friend fooling around sending text messages. But now that we're back on the phone with each other, how about a second chance?

Yeah great exercise. This is a hall of shame tactic.
