Friends versus the friend zone

How’s this for irony…

You’re way less likely to get friend-zoned if you treat her like a friend.

– Respect her opinion, but don't rely on her validation
– Tease her good-naturedly
– Respect her time, space, and boundaries
– Unapologetically be yourself
– Compliment her without an ulterior motive
– See her as a peer, not someone to worship or look down on

If you're constantly hearing "I only see you as a friend," it's probably not because you're too friendly. Rather, you're too available, too eager, and too afraid to just be yourself.

If you’re sick of being friend-zoned, start treating women like friends.
