This is quite a strange one, which I guess sort of has to do with one-itis. So, being the saint that I am, I work as a volunteer in Oxfam bookshop, and this HB8 from school comes in.

I help her find books for our upcoming English book report, and we sort of hit it off. I mean, nothing over, the top; I didn't get the chance to go kino/neg her, but I had a fun time talking to her.

She is one of the few girls who I don't get embarrassed when speaking to, so is quite rare, and I'd really appreciate any advice on how to further things with her.

HOWEVER. Rumours are rife that I'm gay, which is totally not true, and, although I'm not in the 'friend' zone just yet, I think I may just have bought a one way ticket there....

Go for it pal
Avoid the ljbf zone by quickly increasing kino and soi's.
Run off the cube routine maybe?
Then mystery kiss close.
the key to the ljbfz is not getting caught there in the first place:)
I have been there, its crap.

cheers mate, but when?

Next time you see her?
As soon as possible really, otherwise you will enter it fairly quick.

yeah but the only time I see her is in the hallway, and it's just a passing 'hi'....

Correction: It used to be a passing "Hi", if you don't want to be in the friend zone then you have to move quickly, at the moment you are probably in the middle, as you have only talked, but you could soon just be considered a friend if you don't take action.

He who hesitates, masturbates.

You further things with her like you do any other girl...be mysterious, interesting, exciting, cocky, funny etc.

Make her feel the emotions that build attraction from the 'beginning', don't wait until you think she 'might' be interested to do so. Girls can sense hesitation, it's a turn off for them...they want to see 'strength', in any form.

I think you are already in the friend zone.

I don't agree when you said you didn't have time to neg. If you said three sentences then you had time. If you don't neg then it's going to be stupid hard to get anywhere.

I fail all the time but it's usually because I can't think of a neg in time...hahahah or I'm too cocky. I don't sarg nearly as much as I should to be really, really good at this stuff and I def could use a lot more practice but once I learned these techniques my scoring went up drastically and I'm way more fun with everyone I hang out with. I've had people say to me, "What happened to you? I thought you didn't like me." Seriously.

But I've watched the change come over a girl that I'm neging. I still can't believe it as I'm seeing the change. It's like i pressed a button and a whole new girl arrived that just looks the same.

It's scary because you feel like one wrong step and you're going to lose her forever. I remember the fist time I used it in a txt i sent a girl I had met at the club...she txt'ed me that she still had her cathlic school girl outfit and I txt'ed her back..."do you still fit in it?"

That was a LONG 5 minutes. But she txt'ed me back... "lol shut up!" I was hooked. hahahahaha I still have a LONG way to go, but the journey has been pretty fun so far.
