The Number One Problem That Guys Need to Fix Before They Can Get Out of the Friend Zone

So you're head over heels for a female friend of yours. Maybe you've asked her out on a few dates, maybe even done a bunch of very sweet and romantic things that were supposed to make her smile and realize that you're the man for her.

Yet, you managed to find yourself stuck in the dreaded friend zone. She rejected your moves by telling you that she just wants to be friends, or that she doesn't see you in that way. But you're convinced that she's the woman for you, and you're wondering how the hell to get out.

If you find yourself in the situation of trying to get out of the friend zone, then one of the first things you need to do is figure out where you went wrong. And I'm going to tell you exactly where you made that wrong turn.

No, it's not because you didn't do enough romantic things to make her heart melt. No, it's not because you didn't treat her nice enough. It probably isn't even because she likes someone else and you were too late.

My friend, what you have here is an attraction problem. To borrow from the latest romantic-comedy movie hit, she's just not attracted to you.

If there's one takeaway from this article that you should get, understand this: No amount of techniques will get you out of the friend zone if you don't solve the issue of her lack of attraction.

What happened? Simply put, you didn't have the qualities of a man that she's attracted to. There are a lot of traits that women find attractive, but you didn't display enough of them. What are some of these traits? Here are three of the major ones that you should pay attention to:

Confidence. How many times do you need to hear that women love a confident man? If you waited way too long before you made your move, it's a sign of a lack of confidence in yourself.

Sexual tension. Touching, as casual as it may be, is very powerful when it comes to generating attraction in a woman. Most guys are afraid to "intrude on a woman's personal space" and avoid making any forms of physical contact.

Mystery. Women go wild for men who can make them wonder, "Does he really like me? Am I reading that right, or is he really just like that with all women?" If you're like most guys, you probably telegraphed your intentions with her right from the get-go -- especially if she's the only woman you have in your life that you're doing activities with.
