How to get out of the friend zone...?

March 20, 2009 6:45pm CST
What to do when you like a good friend a bit more than you maybe should? Is there such a thing as a friend barrier or line you should not cross once in that 'zone'? What are your views on being friends before getting into a relationship with someone?

I am a Zone I think the best way is let the relationship develop on its own, don't try too hard and just let it happen and the barrier or Zone will disappear and it will not be an issue. Sometimes a friendship will just changer overnight and before you know it you will not even find it a problem

Not always the case tho sometimes one party seem to want more and the other doesn't ever see past a friendship and it complicates things!

Yes that is true but if a friend is to become more it will happen by itself. That has been my experience at least.

i have this friend who does not like falling in love with his friends, so when a friend likes him, he rejects this person even if he feels something for this person too. he would rather remain friends with them. i have not tried falling in love with a friend so i don't know what i will do if that happens. i also prefer to maintain the friendship. but i know it is hard fighting your feelings. i may not be as strong as my friend =)

I'm someone who likes to put it all on the table (in other words, nothing ventured, nothing gained). If I was reluctant to "put it all on the table", I might talk to this person about what "my friend" should do if he were to want to move the friendship that he was in forward to a higher level.
