How To Escape The Friend Zone by zeekz(m): 1:10pm On Feb 15, 2015
So i was reading tru punch articles and came across this, hope it helps "those guys".
Developing romantic feelings for someone who only sees the
relationship as just being friends can be frustrating. These
tips will help you escape the friend zone
Ask for a date :
Asking to go out on a date will suggest you do not just
want to remain in the friend zone. This could take a lot
of convincing as the person may not be used to going
on a romantic date with you. Be patient and look for
ways to convince the person. Also, do not expect things
to drastically turn out the way you want after the first
date. Be consistent and keep at it. Also, keep an open
mind and do not feel bad if things do not work out.
Improve yourself :
Increase your chances of leaving the friend zone by
improving yourself or looking attractive. For a lady, it
might be losing some weight or wearing slight or more
make-up. Guys could consider toning and firming up
their muscles. Attraction plays a huge role and one way
to get what you want is to look attractive for that
potential partner.
Make a move :
Action they say, speaks louder than words. Except one
practices what is being said, one will still remain in the
friend zone. Make a move to get out of the friend zone if
you want to enjoy a romantic relationship. Make plans
and put things into action and proper perspective. Also
bear in mind that not all friendships will lead to a
romantic relationship, so do not be disappointed when
things do not work out to your taste.
Value the person :
Some people get stuck in the friend zone because they
value the relationship more than the other person.
Valuing the other person gives you a guide to the
relationship and lets you appreciate the strengths of your
potential partner. The individual has to come before the
relationship. If there is no person to crush on, there will
be no relationship to build.
Start early enough :
The best way to avoid being in the friend zone is to
make your intentions known from the outset. Make it
known to your friend that you are interested in him/her.
This may be difficult especially for a lady because of
societal values. Pay attention to things around them and
compliment them when necessary. They will get that clue
of interest and follow suit.
Take some time off :
People may prefer to keep others in the friend zone
because they are used to having them around or tending
to their needs. There is a popular saying that absence
makes the heart grow fonder. Take some time off, but
engage in meaningful activities. Chances are that a friend
who keeps you in the friend zone may want to step
things up when they start having you around again
because they miss you.
Create competition :
Your friend may value you more if he or she thinks he/
she could lose you to someone else. Go out, make other
friends and do not restrict yourself to the person. People
usually sit up when they know they have competition.
But be careful with this as competition could spark up
some jealousy. It is natural for partners to get jealous of
someone they love and too much of it is not healthy.
Reciprocate gestures :
You may not be the right choice for someone who wants
to take a friendship to the next level if you always take
and never give back. Be grateful for gifts you receive,
and when you have the opportunity, give back. Don’t
stop at that; be attentive and affectionate. This
encourages them to spot the qualities they would want
in a potential partner.
