-- Posted by Anonymous at 9:25 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Is there a way to escape the "friend zone?"  I am currently knee deep in it and want to get out because I really love this girl.  We went out for a short time and she broke up with me and gave no reason.  We are still friends but I really want a relationship with her because I really care about her. Any ideas?????????? -- Posted by Amazingness99 at 9:25 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Tell her. If you've already been with her, you shouldn't have the "friend zone" problem. -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:27 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 9:25 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Tell her.

I think the friend zone problem arose at the end of our short relationship.  She kept telling me that it was hard for her to see me as anything different as a friend and I told her the same but we agreed that it would take some time and we'd ride it out... I never got the chance to give it time... she took it away from me. -- Posted by katjassidekick at 9:28 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Of course. Wouldn't you rather to take a risk than to always wonder "what if"? -- Posted by Amazingness99 at 9:30 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:27 am on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 9:25 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Tell her.

Honestly, if I was in that situation, I'd try to continue being friends for a little while longer, gain her trust back, and then see how it goes. -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:37 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 9:30 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:27 am on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 9:25 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Tell her.

How long would you wait?  Also do you have any tips for me? -- Posted by Amazingness99 at 9:43 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:37 am on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 9:30 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 12:27 am on Nov. 12, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 9:25 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 Tell her.

How long would you wait? Also do you have any tips for me? I'd give it a nice cushion of time, just to make sure. Personally, I'd just be happy being friends because that's how I am, but just make her see that you love her and are there for her.
