This is something that has been hovering in my head for a while. Being
attracted to a woman for a long time without doing anything, being
"nice", and then falling into the friends zone is a very common
mistake that many men like me make. However, the question here is:
What do I have to do to get out of it? Even though you know very well
you have built a solid friendship for a long time with this girl!

Here's the thing that ticks me off: I still find it hard to lose the
girl. Why does it bother me so much? I'm sure anyone who has read The
Game by Strauss will find the quote "in order to get the girl, you
need to risk losing her". Why is it such a big deal for me to be able
to lose this girl when I know very well that I can find another one
anytime, anywhere? I have got all the friends in the world! Yet I find
myself becoming a friend of many girls and never really doing
something about it.

So that's one main thing I wanted to point out.

The question again: What can I do to get out of that friends zone?

I find myself trying to use the push-ppull technique on them. It works
sometimes but they take it as a joke because we're friends. And during
other times, when I try to give myself some higher value and become
less nice to them (I'm really nice btw. TOO NICE!) they think that
something's wrong or that I'm being strange/weird.

So it's either the techniques that PUAs use variously do not work on
your girl FRIEND, or I''m doing it the wrong way. I personally think
it's the latter of the two.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards,
