Why do some men make it out of the friend-zone?

So close. This is accurate right up until the last sentence. It is how a true friend acts, but it is NOT the way to win someone over. It’s creepy.

If you’re looking to start a romantic relationship with a woman, the answer isn’t to “treat her like a true friend”. That’s the same behavior that leads to “friend zoning”. You’re still entering into a friendship under false pretenses. It doesn’t make it better to pretend to be a “true friend”.

If you’re interested in a woman, TELL HER. Be a man and use your big boy words. If she’s not interested, don’t change your behavior because you think that’ll change her mind. Leave her alone. It’s not better for you to act like this post describes while hiding your true feelings. It might even be worse.

A relationship (romantic or platonic) can’t survive when there is an imbalance of interest. It’s disingenuous to stay “friends” if you want more. The answer isn’t to pretend that you’re not jealous, the answer is to tell them how you feel, accept their response, and move on with your life either way. If they said no, then stop spending time with the person who rejected you.
