It seems that the most common answer to the friend zone issue is to cut contact with the girl. Well, doesn't this really have the potential to backfire? Sure, it could spark some interest, but it seems more likely to just have her forget about you. I mean, if she wasn't interested at you at first, what makes you think she'll be interested when you stop talking to her, you know? How are you guys going about this to make sure that doesn't happen?
You see the part of your post I put in bold? That's the whole point. That's what you want. You want her to forget about you. If you cut contact,then when you start talking to her again she doesn't remember you,THAT'S GOOD!!! Because if she put the "you" she oringinally met in the friendzone and that guy is gone,then you indeed have a second chance to make a first impression. All the mistakes and errors you made that put you in the friendzone in the beginning,now you have a second chance with the girl to get it right this time.
Only now with this new opportunity,you have to avoid what you did wrong the first time. Otherwise,you'll get LJBF'ed again.
That's the point of no contact,to make her forget about you. Because if she doesn't,it's over with. You have no chance. Now personally,I do not believe there is a way out of the friendzone. It takes too much work,and too much time to get out of it. Not only that,but you have to do all over this extra work just to get back to square one. All this no contact work plus the other things you have to do are just to get you to the beginning. After all that,then you have to start to "game" her while avoiding all the
normal pitfalls of friendzone(again),asd,buyer's remorse,dhvs,and other stuff.
Forget that. I'd rather just meet someone new and start from there.
