Heres the deal, theres this girl I work with whos cool and looks pretty good and seems like someone I would like to possibly get with. She has a b/f though and even though she does she has shown high interest in me. Im still looking at other girls and pursuing others so im not just counting right now on this one to break up with her man or something then go out with me but I would like to keep her interest in me to where it doesnt get to the point where she only sees me as a friend later down the road in case something does happen. Do you get what im saying? Im going to continue with other girls and theres already some potential with them but this one at works seems more my type. What kind of tips do you guys have to keep her interest in me for a while so she could see me as a potential partner later on should something happen?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Keeping interest for possible relationship later...

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Keep dropping innuendo. Don't fall into the friend zone. Don't hang out with her like friends would... keep the atmosphere flirty and make sure she knows your unspoken feelings toward her. That way when she does drop the chump, instead of being the guy she whines about it to, you get to be the rebound. Which is better than nothing.

Oh, the rebound, that's nice. 
How about the situation where I'm far far away from a girl....and won't see her for half a year. How does that work?
-Not that the actual answer matters much, I'm not doing too shabby.
