"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Where to go from here?

Ok I'll start by saying my game has traditionally been terrible to non-existent. By my account, over the years I have blown it and gotten friend zoned with at least 5 very attractive girls that were definite LTR, if not wife, material.

I have been trying to work on this lately, starting with PoF. Using some of the tips on here, I am now starting to get responses and interest. I am currently messaging this one girl and would like to get your thoughts on how to proceed from here. I not looking for a relationship with her (partly because she lives like an hour away from me), but wouldn't mind banging her or landing a FB. Here is the conversation as it stands now:

Me: So what do you do when you're not talking to handsome guys online?
Her: Hahaha. I work. I'm a behavioral therapist for kinda with autism. And I'm in school. You?
Me: That's cool. I am an attorney, but looking of a new job as my last one laid a bunch of us off. Aside from that, I have been working on an eBay business and a couple other side projects, while seeing what trouble I can get myself into.
Her: Haha. Trouble huh?
Me: I bet you are trouble too :)
Her: Haha. Maybe ;)
Me: You should come up my way sometime...see what trouble we can get into together.
Her: Haha, oh really now?
Me: Well, unless you hate fun.
Her: Haha, I don't hate fun.

I welcome any thoughts or suggestions.
 

"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.

Notice how she ignores the "I'm an attorney and have my own business" and seized on the "trouble" part?
She wants you to be the bad boy she craves. Keep up with the mysterious banter to really push her buttons.

Just an update on this. Kept getting generic responses in my effort to meet up. Like generic enough to make me suspect "catfishing." Nothing since. Next.
 

"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.
