Like seriously what's wrong with possibly opening a "friendzone blackhole"? Going in relationships with a such a pre-defined goal in mind reeks of base cynicism and that's going to get you burned with most human beings worth being close to. That set of course, does not include most of the red-pill bestiary of targets. I understand it's a valid way of thinking about it if you are incapable of giving up in case you do get into the "friendzone blackhole". But I would hope that you have enough perspective to cut your losses when things don't go the way you wanted them to go. Plenty of fish in the sea and all that.
No, it's just about standing up for, and being honest about your intentions. Too many guys chicken out when the game gets played, and try to be nice and friendly, and many girls settle for it, even if they liked the guy in a romantic sense in the first place! I see, hear too often facepalm stories when guys obviously have a thing going, and then manage to waste it in absolutely classic ways. Resist the fucking friendzoning crap, just don't accept it lol! Kick her the fuck out rather than accepting any friendzoning moves, and I can guarantee you it will be way more successful. It rarely leads to real, balanced friendships if it starts off like this anyway, and often leads to imbalanced inadvertedely so emotionally draining and frustrated relations.
It's simple: I sell you this bottle of champagne for 10cents. I promise you it's worth 100 dollars. (I will only drink it if its for free="friendship")
In stead, simply go: This is worth 1000 dollars, and if you don't have it, forget about it. (I must be really missing out here.. damn i want that champagne)
Which one's more likely to get sold?
lol, anyway, just don't forget: Girls are mostly really nice human beings too, and bitterness is worthless.
