"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.

1. Why not care what people think?
2. Why be yourself? What if your general personality is weird and annoying?
 

"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.

1. Done take this it litraly. If you are doing something wrong, and people dislike it, thne its best to listen, if people give oyu advice it is best to listen. However if there are haters, people that are jelous, people that tyr to bring you down, ignore them!

2. Being yourself does not mean that if you are a bit weird you cant change this. It just means that you should not try and be something which you are not, dont put on some fake 'im cool' attitude if it does not feel right. Be yourself just means feel comfortable with yourself.

haha. Cross, take this example.

I am studying for a college exam and you walk in all upbeat and pumped up, that's annoying.

I am at a party and letting loose, and you come by me all serious and mature-acting, that's annoying.

Stop getting so offended, people don't dislike other people because they are annoying, annoying is just the word we use but what we really mean at that time is, "This is not the right time."

Be yourself, be sexual, get you a positive group of friends and enjoy life. Think about it, Ashton Kutcher is very annoying to people when he's punking them! But he's still Ashton, and that's why we like him! We like you too, don't change! Be sexual around women, be cool around guys, and you're cool with us.
