"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 made a post a few days back about this girl Ive been seeing and how she ruined things Sunday by inviting a friend to go to the movies with us. I had already deleted her number and decided she had to be Nexted. But out of nowhere today she texted me " Can I ask you two ?'s"
The 2 ?'s were kinda deep-1st was "What was your impression after reading my book?" (it was a book of poems she wrote and I was the 2nd person whos read it) and 2nd ? was "What do you do when the only person whos arms felt like home is gone?"
(quick recap is she dated some guy for 4 years and they broke up-now this was over 2 years ago but shes been hung over him ever since)
Anyways I told her what I honestly thought and her conclusion was that she should get over things and move on.
Now Im left wondering as to why she asked me them questions and how I should take things from here? I also have noted in my mind the things I dont like about her and how she def owes me an apology for how she acted before.
What should I do to handle this?
 

"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.

Follow your bliss
she shared her deep self with you and you could not even make it through one time with her because of someone else there who you put responsibility on and thus "ruined" your time. or whatever, i didnt read your post and not giving us a link isnt going to make anyone go and search for your other post.

she, despite this, still had a thing for you and tried to help you by giving you an off point to transition from. she was telling you what she wanted you to do, not just talking to you about her bf, she was giving you strong feelings and you clearly could not make them about you.

I suggest going and asking her a deep question that shows intent or just doing what you shouldve done and answer her 2nd question with an answer that shows intent and purpose.

I hope you're not still interested in dating this girl,because it looks to me like you're in or on a one-way trip to the friendzone. These questions she asked you seem like questions girls would ask their girlfriends.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Seems like LJBF is the magic term here, bro. You're giving her advice on getting over his ex and she's actually talking about how she felt about HIM, not YOU.

Just next her or keep her as a friend.

How I would answer the 2 questions -

1) Its hard to express it in a text message maybe we should meet up and talk about it

2) Move on and find a new home
