So you like this girl a lot. May be she is your colleague, attends the same gym or maybe she is in your class. You have been friends with her for a couple of months and you guys hit it off pretty well, only thing is that you want to become her boyfriend and she still wants to be “just friends”. This article is all about teaching those hopeless romantics how to get out from the dead-end also known as the “friend zone” and emerge as a boyfriend in front of her eyes.

How to get out from the friend zone:

• Agony uncle: If you are good friends with her, she might need you to stand by her side from time to time, but it is important that you do not end up playing that role for the rest of your life.  You listen to her emotional outburst sonly because you love her, so rather than being the male friend, you should make it clear that you mean business. Most guys are too shy to talk about their feelings; all you need to know is that you will not get a chance unless you grab it.
• Take a break: if you are stuck in the friend zone for long enough, the girl will have an image of you as her teddy bear and you need to get out of that image. In order to get out of that image you might try avoiding her for a few days. Don’t be too easily available as she might just take your for granted and stop giving you respect. Taking a break makes her miss your company and break the teddy bear image.
• Don’t stop dating: going on mysterious dates with other girls is bound to make her see you in a different light altogether. Girls like attractive confident men who can woo other men and a little bit of jealousy can be really helpful.
• Be naughty: do things that set you apart from her other male friends, maybe touch her hand casually at the coffee shop. If she gets accustomed to your touch, she will slowly develop a physical bonding with you. A little flirting can also help you break the barrier past the friend zone.
• Speak out: if you are not making much of a progress in your efforts, you should try taking her out for dinner sometime and conveying your emotions in a straightforward manner. Women appreciate honesty and you will certainly score some cookie points that way. Even if she says “no” you can still remain friends but it is worth taking a chance.  Most importantly do not sit around while another guy come sand sweeps the maiden off her feet.

These are just a few points that will surely help you make a breakthrough in the relationship and get you off the friendship boat. A few years down the line, you will be more than happy that you took your chances and did not just sit their chewing your fingernails at her wedding.
