Grown-Ups’ Guide to Escaping the Friend Zone

If someone has ever said to you, “I’d like to see you again, but only as a friend”, then you’ll know how disappointing and frustrating it can be. And chances are you’ve heard it more than once. It’s likely you’ve sought advice on-line – and that’s been disappointing too. So much of it is simple-minded and patronising. This book is very different. It won’t treat you like an emotionally challenged kidult. It assumes you are a grown-up and want some serious answers. What The Grown-Ups’ Guide to Escaping the Friend Zone brings to the problem is a comprehensive and forensic analysis of the reasons people don’t manage to secure the relationships they want. The author identifies 25 of the main reasons and provides strategies and tips for dealing with each one. Many are illustrated with relevant examples, and there are many helpful and insightful dos, don’ts and how tos. The book also provides thought-provoking original material on what Dr Waters calls Mezzaine Relationships. The wisdom in this short book, informed by psychology, NLP and other relevant fields, could hold the key to finding someone who really wants you as more than a friend
