"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 often take them to this town on the river which has a main street full of antique shops, boutiques and such. They love that. You guys should consider this if you have an area with antique shops. It's very stimulating to them and there are lots of opportunities for revealing your fun side. Then a nice meal and it's back to my place.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I don't go on first dates anymore. Seems within my age group (medical students) people start with sex first. Has its advantages and disadvantages.

First date in my circles is more like first hookup/sex at or after a party. Then if it continues a relationship arises out of it. I don't really find people who want that sit down and talk date these days, they want to skip straight to sex and sort out the rest later.
