Hey everyone!

Okay, here it is. I always give guys (unintentionaly and i have no idea how) hints that i only want to be friends. And, obviously, at the end I always end up helping the guy with some other girl or just hanging there as a close friend.

Today like 90% of my friends are boys! And honestly, i had crushes on like most of them at the beginning. Then, in a blink of an eye i became the friend. They always come to me with their problems like (girls, family, work, study, etc.). Then I always come to a point where they start telling me stuff like: "You are the best", "Lucky is the one who wins your heart","i wish my girlfriend was like you", "i wish all girls are like you", "You're so different","Why are you still single?","It's strange you dont have a boyfriend" and so on.(and they say girls are complicated). It's just killing me!I'm starting to lose my confidence!

I tried once to ask this guy out, but it didnt turn out right. And ever since that day, i get too shy to make the first move.

Recently i have a crush on this guy but i'm feeling that im starting to enter the friend zone! How can i stop this habit of mine? How can i get this guy to be my boyfriend and not just another friend?

Most guys want the girl to make the first move in any situation. If you want to avoid the friend zone you need to just ask this guy out on a date. If this one doesn't work you should start with a guy you have never met before. First be friends but not for very long, make it a point that you like him as more. Flirting a lot and slowly lead up to a date but sound confident when you ask. If you don't he'll know and wont be expecting much or will think its a joke.

its simple just dont help them out with their girl problems. flirt with them, give them signs. dont let them get too comfortable to you i.e enter the "friend zone"

sometimes guys see a girl as safe, a girl they know that they will never have a relationship with, you need to stop being that girl but letting them know you're not here to stay!

use your girl powers ;)
