This should be a no brainer by now.
But we all know where it leads, its called the friend zone! and as everyone knows, the friend zone sucks.
Ive known for awhile now how to stay out of the friend zone. Its all about escalation and correctly framing the interaction, Basically dominating and leading the interaction where you want it to go.
Unfortunately, I let it happen to me, again.
I turned into the crying shoulder, and it gave me a feeling I have not had in a long time. It felt really funny because it reminded me of the old me and before I realized it, it was too late and I was kicking myself for it. The reason it happened is I let the girl lead the relationship, and although there was sexual attraction to begin with she didn't know that taking the interaction down this path would lead to something strictly platonic. The feeling I ended up having was frustration, knowing that I messed up. But it's a learning experience. I let this happen, its all on me, so remember: You should be the one in control.
