The title is pretty much self explanatory. But anyway, there is this girl that I talk to online, we have known each other for almost a year now, she is 18, I am 16. We have been talking a lot and writing very long messages since we've met. The problem is that I've been friend zoned. I try to give her compliments, but trying not to risk it. But the more I talk to her, the more I learn about her. I told her we could meet someday, since now I am trying to afford transportation.

From what she has told me, she says that her dad doesn't let her boyfriend hangout much. I'm not exactly sure, but my main point is that I want to be more than friends with her, as a boyfriend. But she already has a boyfriend! I have read about the straw man technique , but have not found it to be nearly affective for me. So I am asking for help to the guys out there, what do I need to do to get her love me as a boyfriend? I should also mention that we both exchange postal mail, so perhaps there is something to send her in the mail that will get her attention?

One-Itis alert. You want to know how to get her as a girlfriend? Go fuck 10 other girls, then see if you still want her to be your girlfriend. Right now you are friend-zoned hard, not to mention you are younger than her, so this brings you a significant disadvantage (Which can be overcome if you have a good level of game, but in your current state of mind, I doubt it)

I would advise you to read ALL the stuff for newbies on this site, not only in the online section. You need to get yourself in a frame where she (Or any other female) is chasing you and doing things for you, instead of the opposite.

The first thing to do would be to severely cut back contact with this chick, talk less with her and make her initiate contact. Don't focus on her boyfriend yet, you need for her to see you as a sexual and interesting being, so prove that you are. You have other important things going on, you can't reply to her messages all the time. Use that time that has been magically freed up to polish your skills on other females.

Most importantly, don't sweat it. You're 16, this isn't the time to meet the love of your life, this is the time to fuck around, have fun and make mistakes.
