this is a more of a question for girls to answer...but how can guys get out of the friend zone?

i don't even know how i manage to get there in the first place. i just like being really nice. girls always tell me that i'm "too nice." then i look at their jackass boyfriends that treat them like such garbage and i can't even imagine compelling myself to act like that.

i don't understand! it's like i'm doing good things for the wrong reason.

please help. thanks.
Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

    You have to not start out as a friend in the first place. If your interested show your interest from the outset. That said I married my best friend but when we became friends he had no interest in me. :?

    I worked with my hubby for 3 months before we got together, so I do think we were friends first, cheap wine helped us get it together.

    Thats not much help really, sorry. :)

    Damn near impossible to get out of the "friend zone". It's possible, but it ain't easy!

    I disagree. The longer I know a guy, the more attracted, or unattracted depending on the guy, he becomes to me. Attraction can and does build over time.

    Does this girl know how you feel about her? How long have you been in the "friend zone." There is a good chance she has no clue how you feel. Guys always claim to be clueless about this stuff, but girls are too. Tell her how you feel and gauge her reaction.

    This is so easy, contrary to what people say.

    Just be brave and kiss her when the opportunity arises. She'll let you know at that point whether she's interested or not.

    The longer you go without attempting anything, the more she'll think you're not interested in her that way.

    but i mean will that destroy my relationship with her as a friend if she rejects me?

    i'm only 18 and i don't drink or whatever but it seems that everyone who has a girlfriend got her that way because of a drunk hook-up. love these days is just all unacquainted. i hate it.

    i just want some woopie without making all these sacrifices.

    I'll tell you an adult secret that I learned the hard way. :|

    You will ALWAYS want her to be more than your friend so being afraid to jeopardize the friendship is really just being afraid that you'll find out she doesn't want you. BUT.

    And, listen to this, this is the important part. You'll get more hurt if you go on being her friend for a long time because you'll just grow to love her more and more and then you'll have to face the rejection later.

    Think about this...it's better to get it out of the way earlier rather than after investing months or years into her.

    If you get rejected, it'll hurt later MORE.

    take heed to these words, mi amigo.

    someone said it earlier that women/girls make a decision about whether you're sexually attractive or not very quickly....and they're right. If they're not interested sexually at the start, they'll play the friend card. She could grow attracted to you but if you know you want more,lay it on the table now. If you don't, it does equal more hurt later.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    in short: cut your losses with whoever youre friends with now and get over it cuz it aint happening. then next time be as direct as possible early and dont settle for friendship.

    I completely agree with this. The only guys I've ever truly fallen in love with have been my friends first. I have no (serious) interest in guys I hardly know or guys who want to be with me but wouldn't want to be my friend.

    Instead of just laying it out there though, I would suggest flirting with her. Let her know how you feel in a less direct way and gauge her response. That way you'll open the door for her to start thinking of you in that way.

    That's up to you. If you're a big baby about it and can't handle rejection or won't take no for an answer or don't want to be friends with her unless she wants to get with you, then THAT'S what will destroy your relationship - not the mere fact that you're attracted to her and you let her know. It's all about how you handle it.

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. But if you mean that all you really want is to fuck her and you're not really interested in friendship, then pull your head out of your ass and leave the poor girl alone. Go find a prostitute; don't disrespect your friend.

    When you have a moment alone with a woman and you feel a certain vibe, just whip your dick out. Everything else will take care of itself. The last thing men need are women friends we can't bang. We all know that. When you get married, go ahead and try to keep some close female friends. I dare you. I hope you liked your penis. It'll be chopped off. Wives don't tolerate close female friends with their husbands. So, long story short, if you can hit the pootie, serve that tang like a butler in Beverly Hills. If she wants to be friends, you need to hang with more whores.

    Whores are fun people.

    Sorry to say it, but your on a long road of getting fucked over. Have fun being you, and when chicks get tired of the d-bags, you'll meet someone when you're in your 30s.

    That will be 5 dollars.

    Anyone else notice that the guys in this thread all seem to give the same bitter advice? ;)

    Don't listen to them, OP! Just because they don't know how to get out of the friend zone doesn't mean it's not possible. :)

    Exactly! Then they just all convince themselves that this is just the way it is and poor guys like the OP, if he believes them, are doomed from the start. And us poor women are stuck with a bunch of guys who think they have to play games.

    if you value her as a friend than don't make a move and just be friends. but be prepared to get rejected cause chances are that will happen.

    stay single and fuck as many as girls while you are young. also its called fucking or sex not woopie.

    haha. no i mean that all the guys i know who are getting action right now, the assholes who treat their girlfriends like complete shit; never giving them any attention, telling them what to do when they do give it to them, pretty much just being in a relationship for ass; got their girlfriend from a drunk hook-up. i don't want to get hammered and then just hook up with a girl. i think that is just a poor excuse in order to get laid. i don't care if people say "well i'm shy" or "i just feel more comfortable when i'm drunk." you don't go to a job interview drunk just so that you'll feel more comfortable. that's the type of sacrifice i do not want to take in order to get some. it's just unnecessary to me.

    one more thing...i'm trying to get more affiliated with this girl that i volunteer with at this mentoring program. i only see her once every other week but i think she's really attractive and would like to spur some type of conversation with her so that i could start something. she's a little older than i am...but would it be weird if i just went up to her and started talking to her? how should i approach someone who i've never talked to before in that kind of environment?

    btw...as i'm typing this there's a ladybug who keeps crawling up and down my laptop screen and keyboard. symbolic?
