Nice Guys escape the Friend's Zone.
38. Do you feel that you are better than most attractive people you encounter, that are constantly in some sort of a relationship?
#38
This question is classic. You start thinking to yourself. I’m better than him. Or what does she have that I don’t. He kisses her ass and I can not see why. I don’t get it.
This sort of thinking often leads us down a road of negativity. It is very unhealthy and cause us to shut ourselves off from the rest of the world. It becomes obvious to those around us and will certainly land you in the friend’s zone frequently because no one enjoys dating someone whose confidence is false. True confident people don’t use others to boost themselves up. In fact they often do the opposite. They use their abilities to help others. They use their confidence to offer leadership. And good leaders rarely find it hard to attract someone sexually.
This question is about confidence and in a way, it is also about how others make you feel. Truly confident people don’t let others control how they feel. When you look at others and seeing them in a relationship makes you feel less about them, they are in fact controlling how you feel.
And now for the big question,
How can we use this information to escape the friend’s zone?
I thought this one was a “no brainer” but I may have to explain further because after thinking about this one seriously, I struggled with it. I had to dig deep for this one about how I came up with this one. I always put down others in great relationships. I did this obviously out of jealousy. I wanted what they had. Often our jealousy is fueled when we can see what we want right in front of our eyes but feel helpless to do anything about it. And this leads us far away from being attractive sexually.
Jealousy is highly unattractive to any person with a healthy attitude and a wonderful lifestyle. Attempting to rid yourself of being jealous of that special someone you are secretly attracted to, but find yourself as friends with,can give you a giant leap out of that friend\’s zone. And how is this? Or how can you do this?
Well first of all just becoming a confident person whose insecurities are small and perhaps insignificant will automatically cause others to see you in a light. They will notice.
Secondly, for the how can you do this, I’m going to give you some tough advice, and I’m giving it to you because I know it works. I have seen the results first hand. You need to let this person know how you feel about them and it needs to be short and as to the point as possible. DON’T write them a long letter of how you feel you would be great together. DON’T tell them how deeply you feel. This will only make you sound like you are begging and I can almost guarantee, it won’t work and will make matters work. Say something like this,
“Lately I have found myself extremely attracted to you physically and just being friends, is just not possible anymore. I can not be friends with you until a time when these feelings go away. I have had feelings of jealousy lately and when that completely disappears; I promise to get back in touch, and we can pick up here we left off.”
And this is the part most do not want to hear, walk away. Work on your insecurities. Find ways to boost your confidence and got a handle on your jealousy. A great to do this is to really work on your self esteem.
The 6 pillars are:
1. Live Consciously

3. Take Responsibility for Your Experiences
4. Assert Who You Are
5. Live Purposefully
6. Maintain Your Integrity

As I mentioned above I have seen this work first hand but I would like to warn you about something. This worked for me but by the time I get back to the person I was attracted to I was in such a different place and frame of mind, that I longer found myself attracted to them. Which actually worked out great. I had found so many others in which the friend’s zone was never an issue and with so many more choices in my life, I finally was able to choose who I wanted to be just friends with.
Question 38 is about confidence, self esteem, jealousy, and your ability to:
- step back
- live consciously
- accept yourself for who you are and who you have become
- taking responsibility for all your actions or jealousy
- being assertive and making the change happen
- living with a clearer purpose everyday
- maintaining your integrity with those you secretly love by stating your position confidently

How Come We Never Dated?
about 20 hours ago - No comments
Quick jump to a decade later…
I saw her profile thrown up online. She was looking for dates online. She was still single with no kids and still looked incredible!
So I wrote her with a funny story and updated her on the status of our mutual friend. She never wrote me back. I wasn’t surprised at all.
Flashback to our meeting ten years earlier…
10) Are You A Passionate Person?
about 6 days ago - No comments
I was at college majoring in music. And yet, music was my passion. I met this girl. A cute blond. She represented my most sought out physical features in a woman. Blond. Full lips. Blue eyes. Perfect ass. Sounds wonderful huh? But her personality wasn’t all that good. Sure she was a little fun being around. Sure we shared a love of music, she also majored in music; yet when I think about it now…
That was it.
Everything else just didn’t match up. I was a hippie and into the artistic social scenes. She was a “Jockette” and into basketball players.
I Choose to Date Younger Women!
about 1 week ago - 2 comments
Let me tell you about my personal experiences with dating younger women and how I feel you can date them. Perhaps you can gain some insight through that. Bear in mind these are from my own experiences and I will admit I do not rank as high as many of the men who seem to master getting that younger woman to date. But this is true. Ten years ago I was constantly told by every woman I wanted between the ages of 18 and 25, that they just don’t date men over thirty, and now that I’m pushing forty, rarely, if at any time, do I hear those same words. So it’s either women are beginning to date even older men, or I have learned to develop that part of me that knows how to attract them. You can make your own mind up on that one.

How Bad Do You Want To Get Laid?

Oh that dry feeling between my legs seeped into every part of my life. It made me angry. It made me short tempered. It made me put so much emphasis on just getting some, I found it difficult just looking at a woman without undressing her and imagining doing it with her.
I couldn’t rationalize away my sexual desires. No matter how times we masturbate it just can never feel as good as it is when you are with a partner who’s wants to share that experience with you,
And the huge mistake on my part was exactly this,

Can a Woman Secretly Love a Man They Put in the Friend Zone?
about 3 weeks ago - No comments
I used to think that a woman’s mind could be changed. I used to think maybe there’s a chance she likes me. Maybe there’s a chance that if I stay with her as a friend she will finally see me in a sexual role.
But that only made things worse.
I focused so much on her that I failed to see the truth of our relationship. I thought she was my one and only and I felt if I could do just one more thing for her, she would finally be attracted to me enough and feel compelled to kiss me.
My Thoughts on How Being Cool Makes you More Attractive
about 3 weeks ago - No comments
Was I cool? Am I cool now? Am I one of those men that some most people just think, he’s such a cool person.
I’m really cracking myself up writing about this now. But who cares. What really matters to me is what I think is cool. Right? Sometimes I will stare at a gorgeous moon on a clear night and say to myself, that is so cool. Sometimes I will watch a friend screw something up and make a fool of herself. She will walk over to me and we both laugh, “That was so cool!”
Put in another context the word cool takes on a different meaning. There are groups of people in every generation that are deemed to not be cool. They can include parents, teachers, retired people, and yes, politicians. (remind me to never mention politicians on this site) We’re all most likely going to find ourselves not cool to another group at one point in our life. It’s inevitable.
No. We’re not Dating. I’m just her Friend.

“Wow. (slight pause) You are beautiful. (pause) Listen… I don’t want to be your friend. I don’t want to be the guy you call up at three o’clock in the morning, complaining about all the jerks in your life. I don’t want to be the man who listens to you whine about all the creepy guys that hit on you that day. And I definitely don’t want to be the man who you blow off for some great sex with a loser. I just don’t want to be him. (big pause) I want to be the guy who lights up your eyes when I enter a room. I want to be the man who you wake up in the morning thinking about, and the last person on your mind before you go to sleep. I want to be the man who will hold your hand one minute, and wrestle you to the ground the next. I want to be the man who you’ll come up with every excuse to be next to. The man that makes your mind wonder, and your heart beat just a little quicker. That’s the man I want to be and if there is even a slightest doubt in your mind that I might not be that man, tell me now, and I’ll walk away.”
34. Are you drawn towards romantic comedies or sad songs?
about 1 month ago - No comments
The reality of it all is that I was consoling myself. I was acting like a boy, not a man. I was wallowing in my self pity and I became addicted to the emotions associated it with it. And yes, I was acting like a small child because in a way, I was pouting. And pouting is what boys do to get his mother’s attention. Except the attention I was seeking was hoping, in a small way, that she would feel sorry for me enough to like me more as more than just a friend. Which is absolutely absurd and when you think about it, a nice guy’s manipulation tactic that always fails. It’s just plain unattractive.
