"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.

Okay, mine, would sound silly but it has to be a badminton set. There's usually a group of attractive women working at our hotel that my parents owns here in South East Asia, and all I have to do is ask or order one of them to play with me outside. It's a great chance to not only exercise, have fun, get a few laughs but also practice my game target practice style by conversing and flirting. What about you guys? What's the best purchase you have made so far?
 

"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.

A pack of rubbers, a *****, and eight grams of blow.

And a carne asada burrito with extra beans.

A pressure cooker. (Instapot) It has helped me make preparation of meals more efficient for preparing breakfast for my two mobility-restricted elderly parents so I'm able log-in on time for work, able to prepare something decent during a lunch break within a reasonably short time.

I'm intending to continue experimenting with this cooker to see if can take inexpensive food items, like rice/pasta/beans/sauce, and create great dishes in a short amount of time. That could save us allot of money if the experiment is successful and could be the next game changer for this home.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
