"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.

Whatsup everyone,

Been diggin this girl from my workplace. Known for about 3-4 weeks. She doesn't flirt with me very much and I do not with her too much because the opportunity isn't there because of work. Although once in awhile I give her some C&F and she laughs. When I do see her though she is asking a good amount of questions about me(nothing TOO personal though).
Every single weekend she asks what I am doing for the weekend, and genuinely seems interested. Could she be hinting that she wants to get together? Or maybe just making convo. She also sometimes says that her nights aren't very exciting, and I always make mine seem really exciting. Do you think she is hinting? I am thinking that next time we talk about the wekeend that I will says omething like "hey we should do something sometime." hopefully she says sure and I eill say k give me your number or whatever. Should I just ask or am I just being a ***** for waiting this long?(3-4 weeks) Feel free to tell me if I am haha.

P.S. This is notthe same girl from my previous thread(plane ride). Thats a whole other story lol Thanks n sorry for the long ass post.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Could be either, it is probably just conversation. My response to that kind of stuff, when I am interested, is:

'Why? What did you want to do?'

Makes it immediately look like they are there asking you out not the other way around, and it seems like they don't expect it.. Or haven't with me so far. Kinda suprises them I think. Its worked so far for me.

Why wait??!! Just tell her that you are going to do [fill in the blank] and that she's have a good time if she came along.
 

"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.

You have obviously never dated a co-worker. Go for it, its a good thing because after this you will never again dip your pen in the company ink.

Well one of my co workers there was a fvck buddy for a few months. After it was done it was no big deal. Maybe this would be different if wedated though i dont know. It's not a job I care about I can get a part time job anywhere if things got that bad I guess.

dating at work is fine and you think everything is ok

until it goes sour, and then it's pure hell. after that, you are like twice burned and will won't make that mistake again

anyway, guy, invite her along to something you're doing on a weekday night first, not a weekend. see how things roll out
