10 Steps to Escape the Friend Zone (as a Girl)10 Steps To Escape The Friend Zone

When the guy you like sees you as a friend and not a romantic prospect, you should act fast. Staying in the friend role for too long decreases your chances of getting the relationship you want. However, there are quite a few things you can do to turn it around.

Find out how to escape the friend zone and get him to take you seriously as a possible girlfriend. With the right tips, you’re increasing your chances of making it, but you shouldn’t rush to confess your feelings right away. Instead try these steps before you tell him how you really feel.

1. Accept You’re in It

If you’re still in denial about being in the friend zone, you won’t get to do much about it before it’s too late. When it’s clear that he’s not taking his time to ask you... because the thought hasn’t even crossed his mind, accept the situation you’re in and start making the right changes.

2. Step Back

Spending too much time with him in the hopes that he’ll finally see you in the right light and decide to ask you out is a bad idea. Instead, you need to take a step back emotionally and don’t be available as a friend or confident who’s ready to hear about his crushes. If you really want to escape the friend zone, don’t be needy and take a break from the friendship.

3. Give Him Some Space
