"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

what if she tells you this on the phone?

She tells you that both of you are just friends for now. But you met up once and groping was had. Known her for a month.

Do you guys proceed as usual, forget her words and see her actions on next date, even though she texts me sexy things

Or

Next it, she's telling you now that you won't get it.
 

"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.

She tells you
1. Bold, you know full well that what they say is anchored in the moment and does not concide with her actions.
2. Depends on the whole context buy I would dissregard what she said and proceeded as usual.
3. Make sure its on your terms/ you are not used and that she has interest.

Stop overanalyzing every little thing. You are far too worried about words which are near meaningless with women. Pay attention to actions.

And the answer to that would be "Obviously we are only friends. I haven't even decided whether I like you yet or not"

Spot on.

Women are emotional and they make emotional decisions. There really is no consistency how she feels in the moment has no relevance to what happened in the past or what might happen in the future. She says you're a friend... well that is EXACTLY how she feels about you in that moment. Tomorrow could be completely different. So what a woman says is not nearly as important as what she does.

I play this one of 2 ways, either:

1) If my IL in her is decent I say "oh ok yeah, friends, that's what I was thinking too." Then go out "as friends", tell her what a great friend she is. Get her hamster spinning going 'Why does HE think of ME as just a FRIEND.. Thats... thats.. thats.. not how its supposed to go! :cry: Am I ugly? What did I do or say to only be a friend to him'? ... Really bust on her hard too.... Play on her insecurities and be railing her that night! I have done this multiple times... It's awesome...

or

2) If my IL in her is low and I have better options, say "ok well thats not going to work for me.. Been good hanging with you. Take care.".. Then block, NC, ghost, nnnnext....
 

"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.
