Sometimes when you are with someone, you might just want to be more than friends with the person. Unfortunately, for most girls early enough they make their decisions on time about who they want as a friend, brother or lover. Hence, the boys feel friend zoned, brother zoned or even worse–twin zoned! Now here is a secret I am about to unleash, this way, you will never be zoned again.
Man up, take charge!
Make your move, tell her what you want, your friend isn’t going to have a revelation one day and then realize that they can give it a shot with you, they need to be hinted at and urged. Just pick up the courage to send them a short text asking to go out sometime, take the conversation towards the possibility of the two of you being a thing and see how they react. Easy, yes?
Be a family friend too
As friends, if you’re already close to your best friends’ family then your friend probably already sees you as a part of their family rather than just a friend and their family won’t even be taken aback at the thought of the two of you together, that will be a hurdle crossed beforehand, making your relationship easier. So the day you decide to man up and pop the question, you can get the approval of the family and mother, yes, especially if she is Yoruba.
Always be there for them
You know you will be the first person he or she runs up to after a break up or something terrible happens to them. So one day, when they have no one and they’re thinking about whether or not going out with you would be a good idea, they’ll think about all those times you were there for them when no one else was, when no one understood, it was you who did everything and it was you who shared their every happiness and sadness. So it won’t really be something completely absurd for them to see you in a romantic light because why ever not? You care about them enough.
Be what they want from life, if you are really willing
We all know what our friends want to be and what career they want to pursue etcetera but what we don’t know are those little details, like what they want their future wife to be like, what they’ll hold closest to their heart about their wife, what their views on marriage are, once you have all this information, you can easily mould yourself into exactly what they want again, if you are willing, then they’ll have to look at you as more than just a friend.
