I've gotten out of the friend zone more times than I can count.
How?
By just being awesome around these chicks and letting them see how desired I am by others. It never fails!
This is why I keep saying that most of you fellas take the LJBF ish wayyy too personally. You never know a girl's reasons for being your friend. Maybe she has a man already, or is emotionally tied to someone she doesn't have yet, or you just aren't "her type" (yet)
The reason why most dudes stay in the friend zone is because they subconsciously still have one-itis for the friend, or just have no other options on their plate. The desperation only solidifies them as platonic creatures because their sexual prowess is not on display.
My wife used to be one of my best friends. Wanna know how she realized she had feelings for me?
We were having a good time at her house for New Years Eve party. All our friends were there and I was actively gaming this chick. We ended up leaving together for the afterparty at my house
After I bounced, my "friend" realized she was just a teeny bit jealous that I left with that girl. She already knew I was a player because of my rep at the time. But knowing and physically witnessing a phenomena are two completely different things!
Yes my people, jealousy is your greatest ally in the LJBF game.
