Friendzone

[slashrfnr]

I was reading/thinking about the friendzone earlier. While not something that has happened to me in a while, it is still something I will always fear.

So I was reading Chases article, and a few other 'PUA's and I was thinking; are different levels of the friendzone more escapable than others?

I understand that if it was one of those situations where you met the girl, and literally became best friends, then that is probably very difficult to escape from.

But what about if you've met the girl, haven't moved fast, but at the same time, haven't allowed yourself to befriend her. You're on friendly enough terms, but you're not close enough with her that she would call you up and want to hang out. Or say she has a boyfriend, so you've never really got close to her anyway.

Do you think the second example is more easy to escape. I know attraction has an expiration date, which I guess will factor here, but say the girl only knows you at 'face value'

What do you guys reckon?

It's definitely possible to escape the friendzone in the situations you are talking about. You want to be on the outer edge of her friendzone, you want to remain mysterious to her. The best way to escape the friendzone is a two pronged approach- initiate touching, and build a jealousy plotline. If you have social proof in front of the girl, she will value you more, she will see you as a desirable guy.
