How To Stay Out of The Friend Zone With Your Ex

So you want to know how to stay out of the friend zone with your ex? Coach Lee explains how in this video.

The friend zone is so often talked about today that it's becoming a cliche. But, like many cliches, there is an element of truth to it.

The friend zone is an area where someone you were romantically involved with, or want to be, sees you as a friend and not as a potential romantic partner.

Obviously you don't want to be in the friend zone with your ex if you want them back.

Coach Lee explains how you can stay out of the friend zone so that your ex sees you again as a romantic partner and wants to get back together with you.

As Coach Lee explains, the first way you can stay out of the friend zone is to reject the offer of friendship from your ex.

Don't be cold or bitter about it, but politely turn down your ex's offer of friendship.

When your ex says, "Let's just be friends," it's actually an opportunity for you to show strength and self respect. Take that opportunity.

The next thing that you can do to stay out of the friend zone with your ex is to not act like a friend. Be flirty, be playful, and show them that you haven't changed how you relate and view them just because they want to just be friends.

Show your ex that they can't consider you "just a friend," because you refuse the demotion.

Show your ex that you don't take their offer seriously and that you still believe that he or she is attracted to you.

Do these things and you will stay out of your ex's friend zone. This will give you a strong position to get your ex back.

"You do not accept friendship. it's total surrender." Wise words indeed.

dude ur a fricking angel send from heaven i swear.

My ex became frustrated when I said no to the friendship offer. I stood my ground. I think another aspect of this that Coach Lee talks about is the real reason they want to be friends is to relieve themselves for not fully accepting the breakup..in their mind we can just ignore the pain she caused and we are still friends, she feels sexy and things are all good. Give them what they asked for: the breakup and that way they can see the real consequences of their actions. Don't let your desperation fool you that you will "lose them forever" so might as well be friends.

I can't be friends with someone I was in love with, especially when they're your FIRST true love....

Refusing friendship is also good for you. You feel more powerful and that you have more control over the relationship. Something you feel you’ve lost after breaking up.

Never be a friend with someone you've been inloved with ...You are so right

[sshuteandrew]

Have fun and flirt!! No friend zone there! We’ve had major sparks since 6 wks post break and now that I’m not trying to convince or push an agenda, he’s opening up and coming closer to me. Live in the moment and enjoy...

[blankearth]

I had a girl criticize me for not accepting the “why can’t we be friends first” trap, telling me that I “won’t compromise”. Don’t ever compromise your boundaries folks.

Thank you coach Lee!! i got my ex back and our love is continuously growing stronger since we started talking again after i did 1 month of no contact and declined his friendship offer, He contacted me on my birthday after my 1 month of no contact and we reconciled and got back together. it's just like we never separated, we continued from where we stopped. it's amazing. Thanks again!!🙂😀

You are the best person to listen to on relationship advice, Coach Lee. I trust what you say so much more than the other folks on YouTube. Thank you.

I think it’s shows lack of respect to an ex they know you have feelings so it’s like kicking you when your already down so low..

[herbertvonsauerkrautunterh]

I already told her I can't be friends because I will always see her as more. After being intimate for years I can't just be friends. Men and women will always see each other more than friends in a lot of cases.. Males and Females exist for a reason.. We were both extremely sexual and intimate and very close.. Friendship only is off limits

[lalisasmr]

I had an interesting day, my ex reached out. The thing is, it's my ex from 2 years ago. I was surpriside by how sentimental he still seemed about our past relationship. I could sense a lot of feelings there. But I'm not interested. I just wish it had been my ex that I want back. Go figure, right? Exes always come back, sooner or later lol.

[grahamsmith]

So refreshing to be hearing simple and down to earth advice instead of all the cliches elsewhere.

She really doesn’t want to be your friends. She only say that because she doesn’t want to sound like a jerk she doesn’t want to her your feelings. When a man agree settles for just being friends. She going to using him for his time, attention, resources, money. Validation. She’s going to be disrespecting you talking about other guys around you. You don’t won’t to be in that position he’ll to Nah. Tell her I find you attractive I want to be more than just friends. But if she’s not willing to be more with romantically. You move on with you life talk to other females that really likes you . Corey Wayne, would say walk & never look back . Never settle for being a woman’s walking ATM or Therapist,

God, this video helped me once again! It's weird but I feel more confident now and I know what I should do now. Thank you!

My ex wants us to be friends, my original response, "I really can't do that right now. It's just too big of a crumb to swallow.". I also told him that after us dating close to a decade, it feels like a huge demotion. The last thing I want to be is some random person he knows, while he's hanging out with someone else. I'd want to either go tear the other woman apart and throw her out the window or fade into the woodwork and disappear. Just seems terrible.

[aliacoo]

When my ex broke things off in a text (classy, am I right?) he said, "I want your friendship always". I never made any response to that comment. My best friend's immediate response was, "F**k his friendship". Yeah, I've got enough friends.

This is great. My ex agreed to go for a drive.. She kinda said the friend thing the day before when she reached out.. but I said I know better and smirked.. She hugged me that day.. I asked for the date (drive) right away.. We went on the drive and I flirted constantly but.. Light hearted.. Next thing she said her hand was cold.. The one between us.. I held it.. But loose to see if she would pull away.. She held mine back.. Then I went to her apartment after.. We hugged.. I went for the kiss.. She gave me a closed mouth one... But then hugged me tight.. We talked a bit.. Then I kissed her again... And she relaxed a lot more.... Texted me later saying we should go on a photo shoot this Saturday.. And has been reaching out more. I hadn't seen your video at that point.. So far so good!! Thanks for the info
