"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.

Imagine sitting at home, watching the game (or tape of the game, since it's the off-season), when the phone suddenly rings. Who is it? A telemarketer? A friend? Family member? No one is around to answer it. Do you just let it ring? Let the machine get it? Or do you go and pick it up? Are you afraid when it rings? Are you afraid when it stops ringing, for one reason or another?

Think and answer...You'll know why (and who it is) shortly.
 

"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.

Fotunately or unfortunately to this question, I have caller ID so I know whether or not I want to answer it. But if I didn't, depends if it is the house phone or my cell. My cell I almost always answer and my hous phone I rarely answer (since people that call for me know to call my cell).

I would answer it. If i was afraid, i would still answer it. Got to take risks in life, no matter how mundane the task. Plus there's just something about a ringing phone, it has to be answered. :cool:

Hey 'crazy kid', when you get older are you going to change your name to 'crazy man' - it just won't have the same ring to it with the ladies...they'll point their finger at you and say, "Hey, there goes crazy man" :D

No, I shall forever remain "Crazykid." That, plus someone already took the name I believe.
