You are welcome. The knowledge did not come easy. Every man that knows anything about women knows that getting stuck in 'friendzone' is the worst thing that can happen to a man who is looking for an intimate relationship with a woman. What men do not understand is that once you are stuck in 'friendzone' the woman can't even imagine being nakkked around you. The thought of kissing you is like 'eeewww'. It's like kissing her brother.

Ask yourself: can you genuinely be REAL friends with a woman that you are plotting to sleep with or date? Is the definition of friendship not honesty? I have many female friends and I am not interested in dating any of them. Those that i intend to date, I tell early and get accepted or screened out early enough. True friendship comes naturally without either party hoping for anything other than the others company. If a friendship starts naturally and develops to something else, then it's ok. But you do not go into a 'friendship' with the baggage of hoping to fulfill dating ambitions. Its a recipe for disaster. You will sit there listening to her relationship issues with other guys. In fact you may be there for years as other guys come and go while you are the shoulder that is cried on. Good luck with that. Many guys found themselves in this 'friendzone' unknowingly. Do not EVER walk into that zone with eyes open. It can be a slow death.
You're right. Me don get that experience once sha

So, can't you just tell him? If he's dull to make a move, don't be dull to end up regretting. Just go for it! Take your best shot.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the guy is probably not interested. Most men need only very little encouragement to make a move.

But to satisfy your curiosity and lay the matter to rest, have a good female friend pick his brain and psych him up that you like him. Let's see his reaction then. She should say something like :'you two are such good friend...I think both of you should date'. Then she should scold him and ask him why he has not asked you out. In fact, she should embarrass him and say it right there in front of you both. An older and less attractive woman than you, that won't go at the back and bleep him in the process... cause some girls eye dey chook,oh! When you do this, come back to nairaland and tell us what happened.

Lol, have u asked urself if he sees it but is not reacting cos he wants u to come out plainly. Look men may not be the wisest creatures on earth but they are definitely not dump. On anoda hand, he may really not understand all ur green lights cos he really doesn't see it. This case is usually seen when both parties have relaxed in friendship zone that the guy has actually lost hope of dating her. In this case, he won't see ur green lights even if u hit him on the head with it, come short of dancing naked in front of him. It means, u have to take the bull by the horn and say what u want or u will really loose him.

So many dudes have lost their dream girl cuz of Friendship zone ......

^^^ Correct.
1. If you want to hear 'but why did you not say so all this while' as she walks to the altar with another man.

2. If you want to get a big NO after beating around the bush for years.

Then by all means go on playing games and claiming to be a 'friend'. Screen yourself as a potential mate early enough s that you can be shortlisted or rejected.

Re: Start As Friends Or Declare Your Intentions From Start? by josite: 7:56am On Apr 16, 2013
for me the most effective non verbal way to communicate my intention is to invite her to where only lovers go.like the 14th floor restaurant in eko le meridian or a private exclusive beach and though I know I will be rebuke or rebuffed I will try an intimate move like a playful soft slap on the butt.it works for me.but may actually get u a slap if un don't know how to implement this strategy.so really I don't talk and yet my message is gotten.if she is for me,she encourages the touch and I do more of it even on a first date.
Re: Start As Friends Or Declare Your Intentions From Start? by Kgdavid(m): 10:57am On Apr 16, 2013
its a big mistake to declare your intentions from them start. in fact its a mistake to have intentions from the start... you should merely be trying to know each other at that stage and to achieve some level of friendship. the key is being able to recognize when the "handshake has passed the elbow". its almost impossible to smoothly progress to a stable long term relationship when you declare your intentions from the start. why? cuz the girl will naturally develop inhibitions towards you and the forming and all that formal process sets it and even if she likes yu too and says yes immediately the relationship is likely to crash cuz its built on no foundation at all...however when you get to know each other and develop a liking for each other(liking has nothing to do with attraction or passion) you can then declare your intention to take it further. another mistake is allowing liking to develop into fondness. so yur best bet is to make haste slowly... be patient until the time is right and then strike with all the expediency of lightening.

Error 101 .....


A girl will only reject u on dis my 3 grounds(u may add ur own) :


1. She is satisfied by her man ;


2. U re not a man enough for her (she doesn't feel you) ........


3. She has resolved within herself not to date any dude for that period/at all ...... SU are always here.......


Solution ;

1. If i feel the girl and I wanna snatch her.........friend zone is my best bet while waiting for d real dude to slip (woulda built maself a shoulder for her to cry upon) wink


2. It only requires repackaging that would make her never say NO ; Friend Zone is Error .....


3. Friend zone is ur best bet too while communicating ur mind at same time .......



I say d damn thing first before deciding wether to stay in friendzone in case of 1 and 3.........!!!!


Abi u be otondo!!!

Why are guys so afraid of friend zone. I think teh best way to start a relationship is through friendship, you get to form a bond with that person which is so important in a relationship.
