Well, I’m here to tell you that this is absolutely false. If you’ve read the other articles in here, then you’ll get down the basic fundamentals that you need to escape the friend zone.

But to give you even more knowledge, I’m going to list 10 basic commandments that you should follow if you want to have any chance whatsoever of escaping the friend zone.

1.) Thou shall not approach her in hopes of being friends first. When you first meet a woman, you know instantly whether you’re interested in her or not. Decide right away and do not make the mistake of planting yourself down as a friend. Take bold actions and NEVER ask for permission to do anything — it is better to apologize later than to ask permission now.

2.) Thou shall not wait for the perfect moment to do something. As forward as women may be these days, rare is the instance when she will be the first one to make a move. You are the man, and men don’t wait for movie moments to make something happen. Many times, you will find that she is actually giving you the hints to make a move — signs that you are too oblivious to pick up on. He who hesitates masturbates.

3.) Thou shall not make your interest too obvious. Escaping the friend zone means being a flirt and making her lie awake at night trying to guess what it is you’re up to. Show interest, but at the same time let her know that you are a man who are interested in other females as well. This is what “playing the game” means.

4.) Thou shall not put all your eggs in one basket. She might be the girl of your dreams, but you cannot be sure if you’re hers. Start pursuing other options while “working” your magic on her. Not only will you increase the odds of getting in a great relationship, but you also make her jealous (read the article on the ESV technique again if you need a refresher).

5.) Thou shall not always be available. Your idea of a good time must NOT be dependent on her availability. You are a man who has a life outside of her. Say no to her invitations and break a date every so often; lie if you must (but read next point).

6.) Thou shall not get caught in a lie. Yes, it’s important to actually be busy and having a good time and doing all sorts of fun activities without her, but it all falls into shambles if she catches you lying.

7.) Thou shall not be a Harmless man. You need to make her see you as a man with sexual value. In other words, you dress well, have social status, are desired by other women, and that you are a regular male who does not suppress (but rather expresses) his sexual energy. Human beings always want what they can’t have.

8.) Thou shall not change your good qualities. If you’re already friends with a woman, she already likes you for who you are. You just need to amplify certain traits of your personality — namely, your sexuality. You can’t turn into an absolute jerk if you’ve been Mr. Nice Guy your entire life — engage in flirtatious banter, but keeping it light and playful, never just cocky.

9.) Thou shall pay attention to what she RESPONDS to, not what she says. Women have a habit to say they want something, but respond to a completely other thing. That’s why most women will say that she wants a nice guy for a boyfriend, but always ends up dating a jerk. Instead, pay attention to the traits and qualities in a man that she positively responds to, and add that on to your arsenal.

10.) Thou shall not give up too soon. Persistence pays off in this game. We will never truly know ALL the reasons why women decide to be “just friends” with a man, but we try to cover as much of it as possible. Keep going until you see fit, and you will be escaping the friend zone in no time at all.

These are just the basic fundamentals if you want to have any chance of going from friend to girlfriend. To make sure you do the correct things, I highly suggest you download your free copy of my two booklets and ensure that you don’t fuck up your chances with her ever again.
