Relationships: (Article) How to Escape the friend zone 1. (@unn_zuo)
I saw this article few weeks ago while surfing the net so i decided to share with UNNZUO readers
Break the "nice guy" or "sweet girl" stereotype. Most
guys and girls who find themselves in the "friend zone" are usually
susceptible to many of the characteristics of the "nice guy" or "sweet
girl" stereotype. This means pretty much someone who wants to avoid
making other people uncomfortable at any cost, but does so usually at
their own expense by not communicating their own needs.
Where you're
romantically attracted to someone, but you don't want to "pressure" them
into a relationship, or "ruin" the friendship by expressing your
interest or making a move, you'll end up holding back in a variety of
ways. The trouble is, when you make other people's feelings more
important than your own (instead of finding that happy balance), you're
unconsciously communicating to people that your own feelings don't
matter. This may make it seem like you have low self-worth, which is the
opposite of confidence.While some people are attracted to ever agreeable mates, the person who assigned you to the "friend zone" probably is not. If nothing else, inaction tells the other person that you're simply not interested (chances are, even if they never felt attracted to you, they wondered about your intentions).
Stop being needy. One of the reasons you might be interested in this person more than they're into you is because you are giving off signals that you really want to be in a relationship! You might be coming off as a little desperate, which is quite the attraction killer. You might be rushing things emotionally and maybe physically.You might also be placing this person on a pedestal, because you're so caught up in the idea of the relationship, that you're quick to assume this person is "perfect".
Examine your own neediness. In one word, relax. There will always be many more encounters besides this one, so stop treating it like the last one you'll ever have. Also, don't force yourself to reveal your hopes for intimacy, let your actions display your confidence. Your demeanor should speak for itself.
