How do I get out of the friendzone?!?

There is just one way to deal with this, and that is to tell her that you like her and that you want her, and ask her out on a sweet date. Yes, yes, yes, she might say no... in which case, you smile and move on, look elsewhere... that is a whole lot better than waiting around for something that may or may not happen. Look at this scenario as something that you need to settle, one way or another.

This is NOT about "waiting for the right time"... this is about putting your cards on the table, and everyone recognizing the awesomeness of doing that, because life is short. Too short to be afraid.

Know this... even if she does say no, she will RESPECT you for speaking your mind and having a go, and for a being a gentleman all the way. Maybe she will think about it, and change her mind and say something, maybe not... you can't count on that, you have to stick to the plan... and the plan is, give her a chance, and if she isn't into it, move on... she can still be a great friend, if you like.

If you're feeling low, just put that into perspective, because we all go through that. Give it your best shot. Be charming, and fun, and be yourself, pull down the walls and be totally honest. Will that work? No idea... but that is the way of the warrior. (I mean, the warrior in the game of romance, or something like that...). No more dicking around, no more wasting the precious minutes of your life on ifs and buts... Just TELL her that you like her, that you really like her, and ask her out... to something, whatever you kids do in your local area... The great thing is, and you need to understand this... she will think more of you, no matter whether she says yes or no. I guarantee it. Am I right ladies?

First, learn to motivate yourself. Your expectations of this relationship will cause you guys to easily break up. You cannot expect her to motivate you all the time, sometimes you have to get the courage to help yourself. Never go into any relationship expecting anything. The friend zone is the best zone to be in because you're not ready, but she can still be there for you as a friend, and as time goes on, you could be at your best and that's when you should consider getting out of the friend zone. Depends on your motives though. Young love.

You might not be in the friend zone now. But if you want to date this girl, you aren't going to be successful until you put yourself back together. Women don't want to date depressing men. They may date you when you get depressed to help build you back up, but only if you started out in good shape to begin with. It sounds like you need another break from this girl to avoid the friend zone and time to get your crap together.
