“I'm tired of girls complaining that there’s no good guys left...hello..we are where you left us, IN THE FRIEND ZONE!!”
There were lots of ways I could approach this; but for the sake of getting to the point I replied to my mate and simply said :
“You're in the friend zone 'cos your game just didn't hit the spot; you probably never caught on to the clues the girl left; the timing was just off or you just aren't her type :P”
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – men and women know when they are interested in someone. Fair enough, that more men find themselves falling into the friend zone than women – but that’s ‘cos the majority of men would be happy to get down and dirty with their women friends !
I know, that for me, if I’m feeling the vibe with someone – there’s only an X amount of time frame wherein which that chemistry should click; otherwise it sort of passes over and that’s when a guy gets dropped into the friend zone.
There are plenty of men (and women) out there – who are absolutely clueless to the signals dropped at them; you might even need to really throw it out there or *gasp* spell it out !
For all of you guys and girls that have inadvertently found yourself in the friend-zone with someone you clearly have sexual desires for at some point in your life; follow these simple steps for staying out of the friend zone with the next person you want to get hooked up with !
The Diva’s Guide to Staying Out of The Friend Zone (applicable across genders)
1/ Don’t be their freaking friend. If you are into a guy / girl; for the sake of everyone around you, don’t try to be their friend ! Both of you have enough friends – and right now, you definitely don’t want to be friends ! I’ve actually told a man I was into that I was NOT his friend (because clearly we never were mates nor had we hung out like mates)
2/ Flirt ! Flirt ! and Flirt some more ! Let that guy / girl know you’ve got the hots for them. It could be a cheeky text message; a tap on the ass; just telling him/her that you’re digging the cologne / perfume they are wearing … anything really but you have to say it out ! That guy /
3/ Let Your Body Do the Talking. Body language says a lot without you having to blubber or get tongue tied (although if done right, it could lead to a lot of tongue action). Make a move on the person – a casual touch here and there. If you are sexually attracted to someone, your body language should definitely be suggesting it ! If he or she is not clocking on to this; it’s because (a) they aren’t feeling the same way and just ignoring it in the hopes that you will stop or (b) they are just really clueless.
4. Ask Him / Her Out on a Date. And I mean, be really specific that whatever it is that you both are planning on doing – that it IS in fact a date. It is NOT friends hanging out. (just to be safe – make sure it’s a phone call – not an SMS for a date). That sends a clear message that you are not just another buddy to chill with.
See it’s really not that difficult – and sometimes you just have to suck it up, be a bit ballsy and lay your cards on the table. If your intentions are clear – then there is no room for misunderstanding, and hence no need for you to ever fall in the friend zone.
At the end of the day – if a guy / girl is ‘aware’ that you are into them; they are going to respond by :
- reciprocating the feeling (score for you !)
- telling you they aren’t into you (don’t lash out if they do this)
- just ignoring your every move until you get the hint (at this point, accept that it’s not happening and move to greener pastures)
