How to get yourself into the girlfriend or boyfriend zone?

Falling in love for a friend ? but not ready to confess your feelings yet?

Here are some tips to help you get ready into the confession :

1.Take Initiative

The sad narrative in today’s culture is that too many men sit around and wait for life to happen, only a few rise up to take action and show initiative. God created men to do and accomplish things in life rather than being passive or complacent. If you are one of them, do step out of your comfort zone!

God has created man first than woman, so as to say that man should take initiative to start the pursuit which is something I agree with. During your courtship, if you do not reciprocate with her,  she could reflect that you are not serious to start a relationship with her yet. Again, as a man, it is always polite to initiate and take the first action e.g holding her hand (it will be weird if the lady grab your hand first). Put in effort if you want the relationship to enter into BGR phrase!

For woman, most tend to wait for the potential boyfriend to take the first move before she initiate herself. Even though, man should always be initiative but if the women kept this mind set and keep waiting without do anything, You could have miss a great opportunity to confess your love toward him. It also give him wrong idea that you are not really interested with him. Hence, do not let this mind set stumble in your love romance. Do anything that will show that you are interested in spending time with him.
