"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.

The significance of the "Mix Tape"?

Okay, so for you "Lost" fans out there, a few weeks ago there was an interaction between Sawyer and Kate involving the nature of their relationship. Sawyer says "So, what? Should I make you a mix tape?"

And then a girl I'm interested in gives me one.

I have no idea if she's a Lost fan or not...not something we talk about. So does this gesture have any significance beyond it being a thoughtful gift?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It only means that you are thinking too much.

first LOST is an awesome show. i stopped watching for a season but am back watching again. didn't like the finale much, but the season was great.

second, are you a mature man? if you are 16 getting a mixed tape is different than if you are 30!

assuming you are 25+ and so is she, the mix tape is her way of telling you that she likes you. dont do the afc thing and rush in and ask her out. just start finding reasons for you two to hang out a bit more and eventually she will move in to kiss you. or at the very least give you all the signs that she wants more.

oh, and btw, when sawyer made the mixed tape that was totally AFC. it goes to show the writers are big f*cking AFCs themselves. they've got the 'bad boy' doing sh*t that a real DJ would NEVER do - making a mixed tape for a girl who is only interested because the guy she's primarily interested in is with another woman.

if sawyer was a DJ he'd hook up with other chics on the island and make kate come to him (he'd be the prize!).

whats going to happen now is he's goign to break up with kate and end up doing hurley reverse cowboy in the bushes.

he didn't make Kate a "mix tape", really...wasn't it the tape with Juliette and Ben that Locke gave to Sawyer?

if you are talking mix tape as in a mixed cd... I would assume that's music she wants to have sex to and take my cue!....

seriously.. i know when the 2 times I made mixed cd's for women, it was songs i could picture me making "sweet love" to her to
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
