Is it possible to get out of the friend zone with a woman?

Yes...you just have to make sure you two are on the same page or it will just make your "friendship" weird from then on.

Some of us can. I have a girlfriend I am completely happy with. The ONLY interest I have in any other women is as a friend. As for those who can't, they're probably wondering why you can't just accept that they don't want to just be friends. If you just want to be friends, and a guy wants to be more than friends, don't bother with him. You have different ideas about where your relationship should be headed. Or if you do choose to spend time with a guy like that, make it very clear that you're only interested in being friends, that you're not comfortable with him trying to be anything more, and if he makes any advances on you, don't tolerate it.\n\nAdded:\nIf you don't hear from them after you've made it clear that you only want to be friends, the only interest they had in you was as more than a friend. They weren't willing to settle for less, and they have as much right to make that decision as you do to decide that you just want to be friends. Simple as that. What you wanted wasn't enough for them, what they wanted was too much for you. Best to go your separate ways.

i think the only reason y u feel guilty, which you shouldn't, is because she said no.  i and i do see her point.  it is really hard to go from friend to anything more.  you are in the friend zone.  but dont phase her out, that's just not cool, still be there for her and maybe she'll start seeing you in another light. and truthfully, i dont thing the friendship will ever be the same. it wont be totally weird but it wont be exactly the same, there's a happy medium in there but remember,  dont change at all. just be the same great friend that you seem to be! good luck!

Personally, I believe that I would try the honest approach. It is my personal experience that women respond to a man who is open, honest and DIRECT. Don't beat around the bush about it, because your time with her is apparently limited. If that is the case, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.\n\nWho knows, maybe she feels the same way about you but is having problems telling you as well. Look her DIRECTLY in the eye and tell her that your time together has been wonderful and you have connected with her in a way you never thought imaginable with another woman. Tell her that your friendship together means the world to you and it has grown into a deep respect and you hope she feels the same towards you.\n\nI understand what you are going through. I have been there and bought that tee shirt. Good Luck and I hope it works out.

You have to be really good friends before that topic comes up.  You have to be sure she isn't falling for you.  And don't expect to get a yes.

It really depends on whether you have any feelings for the girl because if not then there's nothing for you to act on and take that relationship to another level.  As soon as one person has some feelings for the other in a friendship then it ceased to be just that.  The bottomline is that the only way women and men can remain friends is if they both find each other somewhat unattractive.

You don't decide it. In my case, I just did know it was the time to give the next step. I guess usually when you spent time with the woman you like and accept that you like her and want to be with her even though all of her defects and faults, you decide to take the step. Good Luck\n\nPS --> Cooking is a plus! :OP\nPS2--> It worked for me till now.

I believe she may just being friendly right now. I wouldn't take simple politness as something that tells you that they really like you. Just for now try to be friends with her and if things get stronger between you two and you clearly like each other more than friends than ask her out on a date. But you shouldn't make something out of a simple goodbye.

Well, in all truth, the most mature way to deal with it is to accept her wishes.  You can still be friends with her, and maybe if the relationship she's pursuing doesn't work out, it might move toward a romantic relationship between you and her.  You can always let her know how you feel, but if you try to hold on, you may only be disappointed.  And even worse, you might create ill feelings between you and her.  But by learning to accept her decision and keeping her as a friend, you may make a better impression on her.  After all, if given the choice, would you rather have her in your life (at least as a friend), or not at all?

i dont think she is ready to make a committment to you right now. unless you just want to be friends,you need to move on and meet someone else who you can have a deeper relationship with.

someone has to make the first move if you still want to be her friend.  Send a card to her or something....or make a new friend.

Be honest with her.  If you think you came on too strong, take her out to a nice dinner and explain yourself.  Tell her you were so eager to get to know her better you let your heart act instead of listening to your head.  Tell her you want to be something more, but you want to take things at a pace that is comfortable for the both of you.  If its meant to be, it'll be.  Give yourself a little credit, at least you are trying to read your woman's heart.  If she's not interested, then you could do better anyway!  Lots of women out there would love to find a man like you!

we see all women as friends...BUT...we also see them as women, the first chance we get, the friendship is not as important anymore as it is to score...don't get me wrong though, we can be friends, just never give us the impression that we can be more...

its because you are staying in the friend zone for so long that she probably thought you dont like her. or your just too little too late all the time. its okay dude, atleast may she be happy or sad, she knows you'll always be there by her side no matter what. take it in a positive way. in that kind of situation you'll know and appreciate that she doesnt want to lose you. \n\na time will come that she will get hurt again and will hate herself for being a fool and guess what, who'll be the one comforting her? its you. sometimes women just dont see that the person who cares for them more than themselves is just standing right infront of they're eyes. hope you get your mind and heart straight about this. goodluck.

Once again the endless limbo.  Shoot and score my friend.  This hardly ends horribly.  Try a little flirting first if she flirts back its definite she has thought about dating you.  Women are very hard to predict.  If you really want to win her over do something romantic, flowers, anything fluffy and cute, or poems.  Whatever works women want to be comfortable make her feel it.  Best of luck and may the elements be with you

Best Answer!\n\nLet's make this simple. One question had you ever met this woman in person or was this just a chat/phone type relationship? \n\nIf non of the above apply then its simple - you go to where she hangs out and you come with your "A" game of being a good friend only. She has been through a divorce and more than like is not ready for a committed relationship due to she is still healing her self. \nYour just was a good friend,but you more than like had expressed or told her how you like her more than friends and this basically forced her to bounce because she may not have wanted to hurt you. She may have sensed you to be a sensitive guy and knew you could not handle hearing she just wanted to have a person to listen to her in her healing process verses falling for her as it appears you have.  \n\nIt hurts guy to make a decision to love another person and she is not ready to love you back! \n\nNow you need someone to heal you..DAMN! \n\nHope this helps - keep your chin up buddy - You'll find another!
