Now he's married to another woman, and last I heard, he's in a miserable relationship. In the meantime, my new boyfriend and I are one-year strong – and we're ecstatic about our plans to settle down very soon!” – C.S., United States “I used to make crazy decisions because of my desperation for a man. But thanks to your e-books, I'm now living in a fantastic world. Just recently, a lot of cute guys have been glancing at me and approaching me, and I feel really flattered. I love you guys, and words can't express how amazed I am at what I've overcome, thanks to you.” – C.B., Philippines “I love your newsletters and e-books. It has helped my relationships with my boyfriend, my friends, and my family a lot. Thank you and more grace! – A.O., Nigeria “I'd like to say thank you to Alexandra Fox for all her newsletters and e-books. They never fail to give me a boost of confidence. I used to keep getting into bad relationships with emotionally-unavailable men. But after I joined the Unforgettable Woman community, I started attracting more commitment-ready men into my life. Right now, I'm in a long-distance relationship with a man who can't wait to settle down with me. More power to you, Alexandra!” – I.J., France “Reading your tips has helped me revive my romance with my man. He can't stop telling me how much he loves me. And now, he wants to be with me long-term. Thank you!” – M.A., Zambia “Your e-mails and e-books never fail to make me go into splits of laughter. You are so right! Women should never be needy, clingy, and dependent. Thank you very much for your entertainment and advice!” – E.G., India “I love the advice you give. You're absolutely right when you say the more needy you become, the more you push your man away. I'm in a long-distance relationship right now, and the more I enjoy myself, the closer he gets to me. Thank you Alexandra, and may God bless you the same way He blesses us through you!” – M.P., United States www.unforgettablewoman.net 2 Escape The Friend Zone Unforgettable Woman Publishing ©2013 All Rights Reserved www.unforgettablewoman.net 3 Copyright © 2013 Unforgettable Woman Publishing.

He knew what drink to order you because you've shared many of your intimate details with him. You can't wait until he leans in for a good night kiss because your heart is already racing— regardless of the soothing effect of your cocktail. Then you're finally there in front of your door about to say your "good byes" for the night. Your palms break out in a sweat as you wonder if he'll be a good kisser. But before your lips lock and you're swept away in the moment, his lips move to what seems to be the words, "I'm glad you're my friend. Good night." You watch him turn around and head back to his car, waving once more to show his adieus for the date. You blink and pretend to be unaffected, but inside your heart just sank to the bottom of your feet. You've been "friend-zoned." www.unforgettablewoman.net 11 1. You're The One Who Makes It Hurt "It wouldn't be called a crush if it didn't hurt." — Unknown What is the friend zone? It's that sad, lonely space where your love is kept in solitary confinement. Why does it suck so much? Because you want to be loved in return. Is that too much to ask for? Well, for the most part, it's out of your hands. How does one end up in the "friend zone?" It can happen for any number of reasons, but mainly it's by default when you aren't viewed as a compatible match. No matter what leads to this cold, empty space, the end result almost always turns to heartache in unrequited love. The hardest and most bitter pill to swallow in this situation is the reality that you care about this person and enjoy their company, yet always kept at arm's length— with no positive outlook for more closeness. Honestly, though, the pain lies in your own perception. The guy might be genuinely kind and have a heart of gold. He just isn't interested in pursuing a relationship. The pain involved is from a crushed set of expectations that didn't materialize. www.unforgettablewoman.net 12 How Did YOU Get There? Comedian Chris Rock used this topic as material for his act. For men, according to Rock, a woman in his friend zone is there by default— he just hasn't made contact with her erogenous zone for one reason or other. He pokes fun at the idea that women put men in the friend zone for their own emergency purposes, as in, if they ever change their mind and need a man, "break glass in case of emergency." So how did you end up in the neutral territory of sexual or relational closeness? Was it something you said? Is the guy you like a clone of Brad Pitt and you are nothing like Angelina Jolie? Are you chasing after the type of guy whose heart is locked away in a vault one hundred feet underground? We're going to spend a little time examining how you got in the friend zone, how to deal with it, what you can do to get out or move on when all hope is lost. You're going to find out what you can do to avoid getting placed in lover's no-man's-land, or if there's any way to do so. And I'll clarify what www.unforgettablewoman.net 13 you can look for to see if there's any hope for more or if you should stick a fork in it; he's done. ~ Summary – Secret #1: Being "friend-zoned" only hurts because of how you perceive the situation. You might have been too far ahead in a relationship and your expectations didn't work out as you planned. Time to see what's going on here. ~ 2. It's Called A Crush Because It Hurts "Okay so there's this guy that I've liked for a long time. He's seven years older than me, but he's just so nice. He's not perfect (he's short, but he's smart, funny and is, well, just hot and just a really nice guy). He plays guitar, sings and is interested in law. He plays sports, including soccer and basketball (even though he's short). Anyways, he's my perfect man. I like him; I love him. I'm scared to tell him how I feel. I have a crush on him. If I like him so much, why am I afraid to tell him?" — anonymous poster under a forum thread titled, "Why do crushes hurt so bad?" www.unforgettablewoman.net 14 It's the fear of rejection, mostly, that causes people to keep their feelings bottled up rather than expose some amorous thoughts. You can sense this poster's anxious confusion about why she can't tell her beloved how she feels. And if you've ever had feelings of love, you've probably been in her shoes at some point in your life. Then there's the reality of taking a chance and blurting things out only to end up with a verbal equivalent to being friend zoned. Ouch. You think you'll get steps ahead in a relationship with someone you care about and end up on the floor feeling like you were sucker punched. Keep Your Emotions Under Control (And Wraps) If you're secretly crushing on a guy and aren't sure about how he feels in return, you might want to bite your tongue and take the Fifth. Telling a man you like him only to be rejected into the friend zone can feel like your heart is being crushed, so be careful who you share your most private thoughts with. www.unforgettablewoman.net 15 Do your best to keep your emotions under control— especially if you're already picking up on the uncomfortable "arm's distance of a friend" vibe from the guy you like. Before real love can develop and grow, you have to get past "limerence," or the infatuation stage of a relationship. No matter whether what you have is love, or only longing, the crushing feeling of rejection is just as real if the object of your desire won't return your affection. ~ Summary – Secret #2: The crushing sensation of being rejected by someone you care about is why a crush hurts. Before real love it's just infatuation, so keep your emotions in check. ~ 3. Kissing Your Friend Can Backfire Has this ever happened to you? You join your coworkers for drinks after work and start getting chummy with one of the guys in the office. The rest of your crew says their goodbyes, one after the other and then you're left in the company of you and a guy co-worker, for a "party of two." www.unforgettablewoman.net 16 Your alcohol has gotten to your head on an empty stomach, so you decide to order some food. Everything starts to flow as you and your office mate are enjoying the evening while getting to know each other more intimately. The chemistry is so great, at the opportune moment, your lips lock and everything starts to go in fast forward (along with the room spinning). You wake up the next morning to the stark realization that your co-worker is laying in bed next to you— yes, you did the unthinkable. You offer him some coffee and say your quick good-byes before he heads off to his daily routine. But the next time you see him at work, his gaze brushes over you and he avoids any "awkward" moment of closeness. You realize you're back in the "friend zone" and there wasn't anything more than a night of passion between you. Don't Think Too Much Into It Hey, it could be worse: You could have lost your job for bending company rules! The worst fate you face is the embarrassment of showing up www.unforgettablewoman.net 17 to work and seeing someone in a different light while they still see you as a friend. The same holds true for any guy friend that you might have gotten intimate with at a moment in time, only to discover it was purely physical, not emotional. The only thing that hurts is if you think too much into it and start imagining that you're now "boyfriend/girlfriend." If this happens to you, let go of any expectations or worries and let it roll over. Things have a way of smoothing out back to normal if you're easygoing enough to play along. Your guy friend may eventually change his mind on what could be between you, but that moment of passion won't make or break any relationship. ~ Summary – Secret #3: Friends sometimes get together in the heat of the moment, but there's no need to get ahead of yourself by assuming you're now a couple. It takes more than a night of passion to establish a relationship. You'll only get hurt if you expect more than what it really is: a one-time deal with a friend. ~ www.unforgettablewoman.net 18 4. When Being "Friends" Means "With Benefits" One of the worst experiences a woman can have is being part of a "friends with benefits" arrangement when she thinks she's in a relationship. It's pretty common for women to mistake having a sexual relationship with a man as a way of getting close. This isn't always the case, though, since men can be sexually active with a woman while keeping his emotions shut off. Do you suspect a guy you're seeing is just using you for physical needs? Here are a few tips to figure out where you really stand with him: Does he seem too busy most of the time? Do you only seem to get together for sex, but miss the whole dating aspect of a relationship? Does he avoid family functions, introducing you to his friends or family? Does he seem vague when you try to make plans for the future, short or long term? If these sound familiar, it could be a case of unknown friends with benefits. A real relationship requires emotional investment from both sides and that includes connection with family, friends and future plans. www.unforgettablewoman.net 19 The Problem With This Arrangement If you're only looking for a sexual partner, then this will work for as long as the two of you want to continue seeing each other for physical needs. But if you're hoping to make a deeper connection and be in a REAL relationship, this has to end. Being stuck in the friend-zone with someone you care about, is torture. There are only two ways out: away from him completely; or straight towards his heart. This eBook will guide you to the happiness you long for when he finally sees you for who you really are. ---> Get Your Copy Today <--- www.unforgettablewoman.net 20
