Are you wondering how you got friend zone and want to learn a way to transition a friendship until an intimate relationship?
Let’s face it, we look back on past relationships or current ones and wonder why we didn’t shoot our shot. But is it possible to befriend a person and later have that relationship grow into something more intimate?
We connect with people for a wide range of reasons; be it a common sense of interest, shared friend groups, and even friendly work colleagues. But when is it ever appropriate to shift those friendships into intimate relationships.
Can you actually move a friendship out the friend zone once one of the parties has written off or not explored the thought of an intimate relationship?
With all things you must assess the benefits or disadvantages of shifting the dynamic into something more serious.
Having and maintaining great friendships are important. It’s hard enough to find genuine friends that truly have your back. What each friendship contribute to who you are and who you become are instrumental. And losing that support of a friendship can be devastated.
Recently, I have thought about the great friendships I have cultivated amongst people I adore and wouldn’t ever want to lose them in my life. However, there is one friendship in particular I wonder why we didn’t try harder to move our relationship into something more.
I value his support and knowledge above all and see the great guy he truly is. I’m completely comfortable with him and can be my unguarded self. I cant help to wonder why we haven’t thought to move pass a friendship?
Getting out the friend zone can potential damage the relationship you currently have. Assessing if that’s a risk worth taking is something to strongly consider.
So what should I do to move the relationship out the friend zone?
Obviously it takes more than one to consent to moving the relationship out of the friend zone..
Assess a few questions before you even consider it.
If you attempt to move a relationship forward consider the following:
- What is the ultimate goal in moving out the friend zone? Are you looking to just be friends with benefits or are you looking for something long term- marriage?
- If the intimate friendship doesn’t work out are you willing to give up a good friend?
If you believe the risk is worth the reward, consider having a candid conversation with your friend. See his outlook on the relationship.
But please ladies do the obvious!
- Try to spend more time
- Show a little more boobs 🙂
- flirt a little harder
- Show him more attention if your out with others.
But be also ready for the rejection (insert awkward emojicon). Having an honest conversation may present an uncomfortable situation for either of you. Hearing or not hearing what you want can be overwhelming.
Nonetheless, defining a relationship/friendship is a healthy thing. Doing so at the beginning of any relationship can lead to less miscommunication upfront. As you mature, you learn not to waste your time or others. So if you see the potential in a friendship why not discuss it? In the worst case- he doesn’t feel the same way neither of you lose anything.
And hey at least you tried- right?
