Start with this, but realize this alone won't guarantee anything.......
Spend less time with her for a while. Allow her brain to lose some of the associations she has toward you.
When you do spend time with her start slowly treating her different. I don't know how you act around her, but don't laugh at what she says unless it's truely funny. Don't play therapist. If she talks to you about other guys, listen only mockingly. Make fun of her plight and never feel sorry for her on this kind of shit. Don't be a shoulder to cry on.
Do's
After you have spent some time away from her come back and change the frame. You must realize that you can't go at her afraid to lose. If you push the envelope with her you are running the risk of losing her for good. If you can't handle that, then just stay in friend mode. At least she'll be around??? FUCK THAT!!! Slowly go for it, but be willing to lose this girl. You obviously like her, so go for it. Win her? Great! She says no thanks? Fine, get away from her so she can't effect you emotionally, but at least you can feel better inside knowing you took your best shot. Then move on.
Do talk to other girls while trying to get out of friend mode. Don't set out to make her jealous, you are most likely not calibrated to do that without her knowing what you are trying to do. Just go game other girls and get more women in your life. Practice staying out of friend mode with new girls. See if this is an isolated situation or see if this is a reocurring theme.
As you get better you will fall into friend mode less and less. Now if I make a friend that's a girl, it's strategic. Pivot, fat girl with tons of hot friends, girl that I think is cool, but not attracted to. If I want a girl she may or may not date me, but she will not slot me in friend mode.
The reason you need to get away from her for a while is because it's hard to change the frame from friend to sexual. It's going backwards. To try and physically escalate her at this point will feel wierd to you and her. Time away will help remedy this, but may not change it. You seeing her after time has passed allows you to do several things. Next time you see her you can send mixed signals and set a new tone for
kino escalation. The always there for her "buddy" is no more. You need to reemerge as a sexual guy who wants her, but doesn't need her. You want her in a way that does not include shopping or hearing about her boy problems. If she doesn't want you in the same way, then you have no use for her.
You won't actually say the words from above, you will convey them. But, if you try to do that tomorrow without time passing, you will just look like you are trying to do something. Being reactive is not attractive.
Soooo.....
Braddock's short term perscription:
Get the fuck away from her for a while. Don't avoid her, but make yourself scarce, even if your dying to see her. Fuck that. Think long term not short term.
Go get a few other women in your life. Spend more and more time thinking about other girls and less putting this girl on a pedestal in your mind.
Come back in a few months with a different frame in mind. You are going to read
magic bullets if you haven't and start all over with this girl. No, you won't run an opener, but you will start alllll over in attraction and run all the phases propperly this time. Usually when a guy falls into friend mode he started off in comfort instead of attraction and/or he didn't escalate
kino at all. You don't have to escalate hard and fast, but you must
kino or it's off to the friend zone.
Becoming a more attractive guy overall and needing her less and less will help you become more attractive to her. Stop trying to be the perfect guy for "her." Fuck the "how can I get her" mentality. Think I want to become more attractive to women in general.
Hope this helps. I think this will work its self out over time if you stick with learning all of this stuff. Realize there is no quick fix or line for your situation and eventually you are going to have to do what I said above and then come back and pull the fucking trigger and realize and be ok with the idea that you may lose her for good. But if you say, "I can't risk that." Just realize that you have already lost her to some other guy, she just hasn't found him yet. When she does, he will expect her to remove you more and more as her friend and you won't want to be there to watch her happily with Mr. Right anyway. So, take some time away and then come back and pull the trigger!!!!
You can do it man! Good luck.
