Getting Out of the Friend Zone

Knowing that you are in the friend zone can be hard to tell sometimes. And getting mixed signals about a person’s intentions can make it a roller coaster. It’s like having a 3G/4G signal but no site loading.

So you met this guy you really like. You two have been talking, maybe even went out once or twice. It is almost the love story of ‘boy-meets-girl, girl-kinda-likes-boy’. Only that in this case, girl is left wondering if boy feels the same way because boy isn’t saying nothin.’

I hear it’s 2018, so men don’t ask ladies out anymore. Ladies is that true? Maybe I’m old school, but on behalf of the ladies, I would say it is unhealthy to be caught up in an undefined relationship, what many people refer to as the friend zone. The, “let’s just keep this situationship as it is” with no verbal commitment, does no good to a girl’s fragile rosy heart. Not only is it a confusing state to be in, but it can also be heart-wrenching and can lead to self-destructive behaviours.

How to tell you are in the friend-zone

Knowing that you are in the friend zone can be hard to tell sometimes. And getting mixed signals about a person’s intentions can make it a roller coaster. It’s like having a 3G/4G signal but no site loading.

To be honest, most of the time, the signs are usually there. But because we don’t want to make assumptions, we make excuses instead. We say things like, “she’s just taking things slow, he’s been busy, he’s not stable at the moment” etc.

Having been friend zoned and being the friend zoner a couple of times, I can tell the signs from miles away. Here are some subtle hints you’ve been friend zoned;

  • Shows no interest in turning the friendship into a romantic relationship despite the cues.
  • Avoids making relationship commitments to you verbally.
  • Shows off other romantic interests
  • Avoids talking about long-term plans with you.
  • Tries or hook you up with his friend.
  • Gives more attention to another girl in your presence.
  • Frequently cancels appointments or hang out plans with you.
  • Does not return your call or texts till days or weeks
  • Becomes distant when you bring up intimate conversations.
  • Introduces you as ‘a friend.’

Getting out of the friend zone

Now that you know you’ve been friend zoned, let’s plan your escape route. Think Micheal Scofield while you are Lincoln Burrows in Prison Break. You get?

But first, let me make this clear; there is no point trying to navigate your way out of a friend-zone into a relationship-zone with a guy, or girl.You know what you want, so dd they.

In this year 2018 going on 2019, I am still very much of the opinion that if a person wants you, they will come for you. So instead of trying to get into the relationship-zoned with someone who has friend zoned you, what you should be doing is getting out into the self-zone. In 3 simple sentences, here’s what getting out of friend zone into self-zone looks like;

  • Getting a grip of your heart and letting go of the feelings.
  • Esteem yourself high by refusing to become attention seeking.
  • Love your self-enough and stay as friends if there is a chance you can handle it.

Have you ever been love struck and friend zoned? Share your experiences with us.

"Recently, our very own Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti "Recently, our very own Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti was nominated for induction in the Rock & Roll hall of fame. In the spirit of this recognition, I’ve been thinking about women in the music scene putting out amazing songs too. Somehow, we don’t amplify our female afrobeat celebrities as much as we do the men. So, I decided to give a special mention to some of my favorite female afrobeat leads." Maritha Okeibunor Link in bio.

"The skin care industry has started another worryi "The skin care industry has started another worrying trend. There are young girls buying birth control pills prescribed to them by skin care “experts” to cure hormonal acne. It is true that there are certain birth control pills help with acne but please, it is only a gynecologist that can prescribe birth control for you. When I started on birth control two years ago because of heavy periods and PMS, the doctor conducted a number of tests on me." Lizzy Temisan Link in bio..

The pressure to be, show up and perform. No matter how big or small your following is. I loved all of it. But at a point, it got exhausting. You put out more and more, and you feel less and less creative, and then you burn out. Sometimes we don’t realize it, but we need a social media break." @ellapinkette Link in bio.

"I am eight years older than my sister; we are in "I am eight years older than my sister; we are in two different generations. My earliest memory of her was when my mum brought her home. I still remember the pink and white knitted shawl wrapped around her. She was so tiny. My mum would ask me to watch over her as she did chores. In a way, I have been watching over my sister since then." Lizzy Temisan Link in bio.
