"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.

What is she actually saying?

She texted this: "looking into each others souls on that one fateful night" I don't know why you keep texting things like that. I have a boyfriend and I dont know you. and I don't know why you keep implying that i like you or something? yeah sorry if i sound harsh, but this needs to stop..

What should I do? Her actions tell me otherwise: when class ended she was looking at me when I was lingering near the exit possibly waiting for me to make a move. When I was break dancing outside of school i knew she was watching. When I first approached her she had high interest; strong eye contact, smiling. I just forgot to connect so she probably thinks Im a player.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

SIMPLE ANSWER NEXT HER SHE AIN'T INTERESTED. A chick can be interested in you at first but what sometimes if you don't make a move fast enough she will "stop considering" you and go back to what she had. MOVE ON and flirt with other chicks, the best way to get a chick back into you is to make her jealous and SHOW her what she is missing out on.

just stay away from her. She obviously doesn't like you. There's nothing else to say except that you're being an idiot thinking you still have a shot.

That's spider activity right there. Never linger by a door waiting for a girl to have to pass by you so you can make a move. Not good.
 

"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.

This is the answer to the whole situation.

First off, you texted that quote? :eek: You deserve a slap in the face! And you are grounded!

That may have made the girl get less interested and try to stand you up.

Next this b**ch. QUICKLY!!!

Why, you ask? Like Dongfu said, that waiting by the door sh*t to make a move, don't ever do that again. :nono: That can make a girl feel uncomfortable. I smell b**ch shields!!!:box:

And stop thinking you have a shot with this one. You don't. Point blank. Being persistent now will only make it worse. You're not in the friends category (btw, you'd be better off here. You'd have SOME chance of getting out.), you're in the CREEP ZONE! And you set off her stalker alarm by waiting by the door to strike! Double whammy! You're supposed to go down as an alpha male (prize), not as an AFC. That's what happened.

Look what you did.:down:

The sooner you leave this girl alone, the better.

What she is actually saying:

"Contact me again and I'm filing a restraining order."

.....did you really say that?
 

"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.

With a message as direct as that you will simply have to next until she re-establishes interest if ever.

No one is that AFC or whatever, i mean he hardly knows her, i don't think anyone would text a girl with those words, also how the hell did you get her number. I'm thinking through a friend or else she would not have said she doesn't know you.

Either way guys i think this guys a troll, like come on.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Unless it's your anniversary (that means dating her for at least a year) or you're giving a last-ditch effort to hold the relationship together, you never say "romantic" stuff like that. Besides, it just sounds way cheesy. Unless you say it really sarcastically and with a huge sh!t-eating grin on your face...which is hard to do in a text message.
