What to do so you don't get into the "Friend Zone"?

It seems like every girl I start to like and then ask out likes how we're friends and doesn't want to lose that. I'm just naturally a very friendly person yet have never had a gf and I'm 21...it's always the same problem...that trap of the "friend zone". I want to get to know the person well before jumping into a relationship. So how do you avoid it, still get to be good friends with her, and then get her to be your gf?

I put men in the friend zone when they are too nice and too readily available. It's a huge turn-off. I sincerely recommend you do what you have to do to make yourself less available to the women in your life and see what happens.

Men who are sexually appealing are a little bit unattainable, at least at the beginning stages. That's what makes them so irresistible. :)
