"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 in my forties and recently got the number to a twenty-two year old. I've never gone this far down the age ladder before. I've usually dated women between five and ten years younger.
What is this uneasy feeling I have? Why am I hesitant? She's nice looking.
 

"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.

First of all, you only got her number. There is a high likelihood that unless you have developed solid rapport already, she will most likely flake. So, don't get too ahead of yourself. And if she does flake, don't take it personally. That is what girls do.

Second, if things do go according to plan, I suggest that you not worry about it, and actually live the nickname you gave yourself on this board.

It's only your ego worrying about whether others will scoff and shame you for dating someone half your age. IGNORE IT!

Look, we live in an age where gays are pushing for the right to marry, but people still cast stones at someone who wants to date another grown, legal adult of the opposite sex, just because she's of a younger age. Of course, these same people see no problem with cougars picking up little Ashton Kutchers.

This "societal norm" is misinformed, and based on the following: 1. May-December relationships are unusual. 2. Older females resent having a guy their age "taken" by a younger babe. 3. Average, frustrated men of all ages resent a guy who can date anyone he pleases. People also will tell you that you're "supposed" to be settling down already. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

Have fun with it and keep in mind that she's young (read: probably immature).

ok thanks, but I cannot see the link. How did that term originate?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
