How to escape the friend zone.

How to escape the friend zone.

01 ; Remove your shoulder -
Okay, not literally but what I'm suggesting is that the reason you're probably in the friend zone to begin with, is because you've always been the shoulder for your crush to cry fon.
 
02; Step it up -
Flirting may not seem like a new option to you, but trust me, if you're still in the friend zone then you're obviously not flirting effectively. Perhaps you're being too subtle, and he or she isn't even noticing your advances. Or maybe your flirting comes across more as "just two friends goofing around". Either way, it's time to step it up a level.
 
03; Get physical -
 
It's time to introduce subtle touch as a flirtation method! It might sound a little scary, but physical touch is actually the most effective method of flirting.
 
04; The break up -
Things between your crush and you may be tricky if your crush is actually in a relationship! The first thing you're probably thinking of doing is trying to break up the happy couple, but we strongly recommend against doing this! Not only will it dramatically decrease your chances of ever escaping the friend zone, but it may also eradicate you from your crush's life altogether.
 
05; Break the stereotype -
Chances are that you're being super nice and over-the-top sweet to your love interest, correct? Many guys or girls who end up in the friend zone fit into the stereotypical "nice guy / girl" category. While there's nothing wrong with being nice, the problem is that you most likely don't voice your opinions or say 'no' when you want to.
 
06; Favor time -
If you've been friend zoned, it's probably because you're the one who will always do anything they ask you to do. But do you ever ask them to help you out too? Chances are you don't in fear of them getting annoyed, but if you want them to value you as more than a friend, they're going to have to invest in the relationship too!
 
07; Absence -
You know the saying, "absence makes the heart grown fonder"! Your crush has got used to you always being there, and as a result, they've begun to take your presence for granted. It's only when we notice some distance between those we're close to that we begin to realize just how much their company means to us. It's true!
 
08; Makeover time -
We're not suggesting you have to go out and buy the latest and greatest clothes in order to make yourself more attractive to your crush! Instead, we're suggesting that your crush has probably friend zoned you because they've known you for a long time and they've become very used to who you are as a person. As a result, you may no longer seem exciting to them. Change it up a little.
 
09; Needy never works -
Whether your crush is a guy or a girl, one thing is for certain. Nobody likes a needy person, whether they're your boyfriend / girlfriend or not! Neediness is the ultimate turn-off, and this could very well be a reason why you've been sentenced to the friend zone.
 
10; Just say it -
So you're stuck in the friend zone and you don't know why? Perhaps it's because your crush doesn't know you actually like them more than a friend! It might sounds scary, but one of the most important things you can do to escape the friend zone is just tell your crush how you feel in the hope that they feel the same way back.
