You are in a dire place right now because there is a female friend of yours whom you want to be much more than just friendly with.

For some reason, it becomes a pattern for a lot of men to try on the friendship hat with a woman whom they would much rather be more than friends with. And if you get yourself caught in that corner, it can end up being a source of a lot of frustrations to say the least. Is it possible in any way for a guy to make a woman who is just a friend… become his lover instead?


The unfortunate dirty truth to this matter is that for most guys the answer is going to be No. That’s not because of the impossible nature of turning a woman who is a friend into a lover, but because most chaps who end up in this territory just keep doing the same things over and over again, even though that same pattern is what gets them stuck being seen as just a friend to her. The reality is Men's Nike Air Force 1 Low Just Do It Pack Orange Australia , it IS possible to make a female friend become more than that, but there are some very specific things that you must do to make it happen for you.

Every interaction that you have with her… you are just teaching her how to see you. And as long as each interaction is framed with you being her friend, how else do you think she is ever going to see you? Break this pattern and you will be on your way to getting out of the friend zone with a woman.
