Yes, breakups hurt a lot. But do you know what hurts the most? Being friend zoned by the one you love.
It can get really hard, especially if they rant about their love life in front of you, completely oblivious to your feelings!
Hence, we bring to you some great tips to help you escape this dreadful zone and help your crush fall in love with you!
1. Don’t appear needy
Chances are high that you are highly invested in the relationship and value the bond more. This makes the other person take you for granted and less aware of your needs and preferences, since you spend so much time attending to theirs. You shouldn’t be desperate for their attention and time. So, be willing to walk away or appear completely uninterested, if required.
2. Prioritise yourself
Don’t be afraid to spend some time away from your friend. Even though it might hurt you, creating some space will give your friend a chance to miss you and realise your value. You can spend this time, focusing on other aspects of your life like career, hobbies, family and other friends etc. This will urge your friend to reach out to you more.
3. Start going on frequent dates
Until now, your whole world used to revolve around their needs, but if you’re looking for a way to make them yours, then simply get them jealous! Start going out on frequent dates or indulge in casual relationships, exclusive enough to let them know that they’re missing out on all the fun with you. It is true that people start to value things when they tend to lose them. So, if your friend shows signs of jealousy, you’ll know that your trick is working!
4. Ask them to do things for you
If you ask your friend to do things for you, you are indirectly asking them to invest their time and energy on you. And this is theoretically proven to make them feel attracted towards you. The more they invest in you, the more you will mean to them. Don’t just focus on what they need as it is time to ask them for what you need.
