"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.

Alright,

This is gonna sound selfish but.. My gf good friend supposedly attempted suicide about 3 days ago. My gf blames herself and I haven't got to spend time with her lately and it looks like anytime in the near future. How do I approach this. I dont want to be insensitive, but I want to see my girl. Suggestions please?
 

"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.

My girlfriend tried to commit sucide on many occassions...after we broke up. She moved away, dyed her hair, and legally changer her name cause she hated her mother.

My advice: get a doctor to talk to her. Yes, I know you want to see you, and I'm not sure how long you have gone out, but her health is more important.

If you love her, then make sure she recieves the help she needs.

This is your girlfriend's friend? I don't know what you relationship dynamic is like, but if you want to see her just say something like this:
"Don't you think it would be easier to deal if you surrounded yourself by your loved ones, family, friends, etc. than sitting isolated and alone?"
Obviously not phrased exactly like that, but you get the idea.
