As you should be aware by now, the friend zone doesn't exist. So how do you get into dating, not just forming friendships?
Let me break it down into the first few easy steps...
- Do not overly hassle the object of your affections. Let them know you exist, sure, but never be pushy. This could put anyone off
- Do not pin all of your hopes and dreams onto one person when you barely know them. This is a lot of pressure for anyone to handle
- Do not mix fantasy with reality. Be realistic with the person you like. Do you have common interests, a shared sense of humour? Or are you opposite personalities?
- Do not expect anyone to fall for you right away. Flaunt your best traits but don't boast; if they are interested they will admire you for your strengths
- Do not lie to win them over. Of course, it's easy enough to slip in a little white lie to up your game, but this is not advised. You are going nowhere if you have to resort to dishonesty from the start
- Do not "just settle". This is not beneficial to either party. It is an easy way out
Making any sense? Re-assess your current dating technique if it's getting you nowhere. Try something new but be honest with yourself.
Is this sounding boring?
Too safe?
Sometimes playing it safe works. If you are met with failure after failure, try and think about yourself before you think of the other party. What could you do differently? When did the first cracks begin to show?
All these tips and more will be featured in my up-coming E-Book. And I promise that the next time you try your hand at dating, you will be successful.
