"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.

Hey what's up people,

Basically I want to know a website that will give me a free credit score. Also I wanna know if you "financial expects" think my credit would be considered good...?

A little info on my background. I'm a 22 year old male college student. I've never owned a credit card in my life. But I do have a checking account with a debit card. I have student loans. By the time I get finished with school (which will hopefully be in the next year or two), i'll owe between 25k - 30k in student loans. The only asset I claim is my only checking account.

Will my credit be considered decent by the time I hopefully graduate? Will it be easy for me to get financing on a car? What about if I wanted to buy a house and had to get a loan?
 

"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.

I started building my credit up this past year. Got a couple cards and pay them off every month.

You probably don't have any credit right now from the information your telling me. I used to think that my debit card might reflect but found out it did not.

I do not know how the student loans reflect on you, but you can't have decent credit without having credit at all.

If you can pick up a credit card or two and pay them off in a reasonable amount of time I suggest doing so. That way you will build a credit history.

Your debit card does not count as credit. Your student loans will probably be on there, but don't really matter until you start paying them back. As a student, you have zero income I am guessing, so no one would give you credit anyway. Until you have income, there's no point in worrying about your credit.
