Guest converge241 Report post Posted May 31, 2002 and what did you do to break out of the zone then? to tell you the truth nothing really, i guess just persistence. that and maybe being less of a "universal nice guy".. showing a little jerk might have been the kicker. A lot of women ive know tend to gravitate towards assholes while keeping the good guy as their friend. That and letting go of the chasing so much, that other idea of they want who is not interested in them. Maybe just playing up my single life to her in "friendly" talk too.. instead of pretending that i was blindly chasin her i started admitting that i was dating others and doing pretty well. i think she realized that i might slip away from her.

Guest bravesfan Report post Posted June 1, 2002 Sweet lord, IT SUCKS TO BE THE UNIVERSAL NICE GUY. Anything you expect from a guy with class, manners, etc, I've perfected. It has also equaled the rejection of any relationship I might want to pursue... I've had 2 serious relationships, both ended with us as BEST friends...what the fuck? BTW, they both ended abruptly, with the females deciding to chase after the moronic prick types. D'oh! Sensitivity sucks, dammit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted June 2, 2002 i think she realized that i might slip away from her. I think that's the key right there. If anything is ever going to happen, I think it comes from that point right there. I've done my fucking time in "the zone" and, as a payment, I don't even have the girl as a friend anymore. It's just a whole lot of awkward, deep, trauma that we'll probably never sort out. Just don't get there. If the girl doesn't reciprocate your feelings at all, then just get the hell out.

Guest Flyboy Report post Posted June 2, 2002 i had a similar situation right after high school, but she ended up marrying me so i guess i did my time in the friend zone and what did you do to break out of the zone then? I know it's hard as fuck, but.. Try your best NOT to fall in it. (is it possible?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted June 2, 2002 "A way to get this thread going more(because it deserves it): How does one avoid this Friendship Zone?" Get her drunk and have your way. Of course that puts you into an entirely different zone, a zone which will take you to a place where YOU are the girlfriend, or b*tch, to be more exact... But seriously, years ago I used to get discouraged whenever I entered the FZ. So I just gave up and decided that I'd rather have girl friends than a girlfriend. Shortly after, I met the better half and 6/25 will mark 5 years... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ripper Report post Posted June 14, 2002 I have tons of female friends...most are that way on purpose. Female friends that KNOW you don't have intrest in them are very valuble. They offer you insight into what women see, what they are thinking and such. It also gives you practice with talking with females without being a rambling idiot(all of my female friends are really attractive, thus it offers great practice) If you ever want to break out the friend zone, here is what you do. 1. It is important that the girl be single...she WILL not respect you for trying when she is with a guy. 2. Pay attention to what she likes, and later say you are intrested in it. Keep doing this and the "wow, we have a lot in common" thing pops in her head. 3. If you ever talk about what you guys are attracted to in other sexes(this always comes up) make fun of her by saying she only likes ___ guys, too. You have just tricked her into saying that she also likes guys that look like you. You must stay on this alot, in a playful manner, but eventually you will make her believe she really likes guys like you. When she says what kind of girl you like ALWAYS SAY YOU LIKE ALL KINDS OF WOMEN. ALWAYS!!! It can be the biggest lie EVER, I don't care, say it. When you see a overweight girl with a really pretty face, you say to the female friend "See, she's really pretty." I don't care if you don't think so SAY IT!! 4: Complement her by insulting other women. Women hate all women that are thinner than them... They just do. So if you see a girl thinner than her, get caught looking at her, then say she is too thin. You are complementing her size by doing that...Unless there is fat rolls, no woman is too big...EVER...you have to act like you believe this. 5: The most important....GET IN SHAPE. And you don't really have to be in shape, just look like it. Then one day, find a way to have to take your shirt off. Have every mucle in your stomach TIGHT and act like you don't notice her looking and put on you shirt again. You will soon notice her laughing at non funny stuff and touching you on your arm and shoulder alot. You are officially are out of the friend zone and must turn on the regular flirty guy act. This has worked 100% of the time for me. 5-5...I don't do it much, because as I said, I usually like female friends just as friends, but every so often, I get to the friend zone by mistake and must excape.
