    Escaping the Friend Zone Forever

    Best quote from Escaping the Friend Zone Forever

    “

    When women consistently don't see you romantically, it's usually because you're unconsciously communicating that you're not available for romance. You can't create a unique connection if every interaction you have is platonic from the start, voluntarily removing yourself from consideration before the game even begins.

    ”

    Input question

    I need to learn why women never see me as a romantic prospect, instead I am either friendzoned or met with indifference, awkwardness, or seeming revulsion at the prospect when I bring it up or just spend time with them hoping that they will see me as I want them to or at all
