The "let's just be friends" (LJBF) or "I just don't see you in that way" speech can be a devastating blow to your psyche. To enter the friend zone, you must have made several mistakes along the way. You may have came on too strong or simply not strong enough while attempting to woo this woman. According to AskMen.com's Doc Love, escaping the friend zone is a tall order that may require you to reverse everything you thought you knew about women.
Treat Her as a Friend
Forget about dating this woman romantically. You must do so to preserve your own sanity, avoid heartbreak and ease any tensions within the friendship. Be advised that a woman may play the friendship card as a test of your loyalty. If this is the case, you should call her bluff.
Focus on yourself through self-improvement. Doc Love, success coach, says that it is best to become a challenge, rather than to fawn over a woman as her lapdog. Over time, your self-improvement plan should translate into dating success with other women. "Men's Health" reports that women are attracted to fit men that are also able to show a good sense of style.
Treat her as if she were one of your male friends. Feel free to offer blunt wisdom and rag on her for putting on a tacky outfit. David DeAngelo, author of "Double Your Dating," refers to this technique as the cocky-funny routine.
Date Other Women
Date other women as soon as possible. At this point, you will realize the futility of chasing after a woman that only wants friendship. If asked, offer your platonic girlfriend vague comments on your dating life. She can feel whether you are in demand -- without you having to go into detail.
Meet her friends through introductions at social events around town. As a real friend, she should be happy to help you exchange contact information with one of her most attractive and available girlfriends. If not, she just might want you all to herself.
Monitor her body language closely. According to Fox News, she will begin to openly flirt and compete for your attention when she has begun to take a romantic interest in you. From there, you can make the decision on whether to take this friendship to the next level.
