hey baby you you got would I be would
you say you're just a friend say you're
just a friend
well caster's have you been singing that
song recently if you are sounds like
you've been friend-zoned not that i'm
happy about it sorry i just realize like
yeah but hey if that austin mahoney guy
who's got 2.5 million Twitter followers
can trip and fall into the dreaded
friend abyss what's your average person
supposed to do while well casters you're
in luck
sort of we have some suggestions on how
to trade your buddy label for a shiny
new girlfriend or boyfriend badge of
honor now before you get all excited
please note that these are just ideas
all right we can't make any guarantees
and we're gonna trust that you will use
your discretion
tip 1 be confident it's natural to get
shy or self-conscious around your crush
especially if you've recently upgraded
them from friend to object of my undying
affection but even if you have to fake
it at first
stand up tall make direct eye contact
and smile you know like that episode
where we told you to be an eagle not a
turtle I still don't know what that
means but anyway you get the point and
people are drawn to confident people and
want to know what they have going on the
important thing here is that you need to
demonstrate that you know your own worth
before you can expect someone else to
recognize it
tip two don't be a doormat
respect is an essential part of any
relationship and it's up to you to draw
the boundaries you might be tempted to
respond to your crushes every need
that's natural but this will probably
backfire as your friend will see you as
someone with very very low self-esteem
don't get yourself stuck in a situation
where you're constantly giving rides
buying gifts and ultimately feeling used
tip 3
don't put them on a pedestal hey just
like you have a few flaws so do they we
promise you're being unfair to your
friend and setting yourself up for
disappointment when you discover that
they tell the same joke every single
time they meet a new person and super
annoying your behavior is going to show
that you're a little overly attached
also when new people come around you're
gonna get jealous you're gonna act weird
just chill out
tip 4 do your research you've probably
spent way too much time daydreaming
about this perfect relationship of this
perfect person
now you'll frolic on the beach and never
leave each other's sides but do you know
what their needs are maybe they'd prefer
more distance in a relationship and they
need more space remember the other
person isn't you
they're not going to meet every single
one of your expectations and I'm sorry
but we throw you especially if you don't
take time to figure out what the other
person wants out of a relationship so
ask want more tips okay
