how do you break out of the "friends zone" ?

Change is something most of us are not ready to be in. When she said that she'd only like you to be a friend, it should have been clear that she only wants that. I'm sure the until now, she still wants that. You already told her before that you like her more than a friend and we, as women, won't forget that. But the fact that she's still your friend should tell you that she truly treasures the friendship and nothing else. By asking her again (even if you were rejected before) could mean that you are not listening and may prove more devastating on the relationship as friends. I tell you let it go. Be her friend and just a friend. You'll know if she wants you by her actions and such, but for now, don't do any further damage on the relationship, unless you'd be willing to give it up. Remember, you already told her. It's time for her to tell you (should the time come that she wants you to be more than a friend). Good luck!

I think she already gave you your answer cedric. I'm sure if she wanted to become more than just friends she would have already moved in on you. You could give a test towards her feelings and start talking about another female who you are going to go on a date with (even though you are not) see if anything changes.. sometimes that works. Good luck and happy mylotting

I think u'd lose her if you keep pushing. She just want to be friends. trying again might scare her away. I think you should get some one else who wants to be more than friends. Atimes it's not soo good to push. cos some might consider u serious if u push, and some find it irretating. Good luck

make her feel special. Get out of the friend mould, do spl things for her. Flatter her about her looks. Send sweet little sms, be as chivalrous in her presence as possible. Praise her openly, especially in front of her friends. Devote time to her by neglecting boys. If she still does not get it, get out of her life . I do not see a scope for friendship anymore you are knee deep in love & no point in masking it. Be a MAN.

Well I am not an expert but I will give you my advice. I think that since you have already made your feelings for her clear, you should leave things as they are. I know that it might be tough being friends with her when you feel more than a meer friendship, but it is my opinion as a girl, that if you push her she might take drastic measures. Pushing yourself on her is not recommended, if youkeep bringing up the subject she might fell like even a simple friendship is not a good idea and she might stop talking to you. I would just be YOU. Be a good friend for her, listen to her, help her and just be there for her. If her feelings on the matter change, I am sure that you will be the first one that she tells. Until that time though, I wouldn't push things, it can be unconfortable enough knowing that she has turned you down. I feel for you though and I hope that one day she sees the great person that you are and that her feelings for you change as well. Who knows, things might change once she sees that you are her friend for life. Best of luck for you and I hope this helps.

I have been in a similar situation myself and for me the friendship was never the same. I think you find yourself always hoping and trying to find hidden meanings in everything they say and do. Did you ask why they did not want a relationship? It may have been a bad time for them or perhaps they just weren't ready? Alternatively it could be that they have no feelings for you in that way and you just have to deal with it. sadly there is no cure for love sickness but acceptance that it is not going to happen is a good place to start.

Well if I were in your situation I'll just be a friend. I'll respect her decision, then destroying our friendship. Well if it was meant to be us let time tell. I'll just be with her, and show that I care.Maybe she will learn to love me. But I wont expect cause when you expect to much you get hurt. Now if I can't stop my self I'll just avoid her for the mean time just to let the feeling get away from me. Have a nice day to you!

Unfortunately, you took the chance and threw the ball in her court and she is still holding it. If you try any more, then you are apt to make the friendship awkward and uncomfortable. You could very well lose her as even a friend. Now you have to decide if you are willing to continue on with her just as her friend knowing that it is a possibility that it will never reach the next level. That is not to say that she may at some point start looking at you differently but if so she will let you know. At this point she has been clear that she only looks at you as a friend and you have to be content with that and move on and try to meet other women.

The fact that she didn't dump is that she values you really much.. Usually in such cases, you'd have been dumped, but she didn't. So, take your time and think about it. I think she has feelings for you at a subconcius level, but she's not aware of them yet.. it might take some time for her to realise that, but till then ypu'll have to wait. The choice is yours. Happy MyLotting

Well I think its still good that you are still friends despite of you confessing to her. I know of a few persons who had their friendship ruined from this kind of situations. You said that you're afraid of losing her, all I can say is that if you really don't want to lose her just stay at her side and be her friend. We girls do love boys who cares for us so much, who knows eventually in the end she might even fall for you more than you fall for her...
