4 Simple Ways To Make Sure That You Avoid The Friend Zone
One of the most common ways to friend zone yourself is to neglect flirting with her. Instead of flirting, most guys settle for befriending her.
That’s great, but if you’re not careful, you’ll convince her that you’re not interested in “that way,” and she’ll mentally classify you as a friend.
Now your job just got 100 times harder.
Instead, make it clear that you find her attractive. Compliment her, playfully tease her. Don’t be a creep about it, don’t make it the entire conversation, and if she’s visibly uncomfortable and tells you she’s not interested, believe her.
But you won’t know how she feels until you try. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you could play the long game. Technically, that’s a thing, but honestly, it’s not a thing. At a certain point, you have to escalate things past a friendship, so try it early.
