You see, it&#8217;s not a trivial task to &#8220;switch&#8221; a woman&#8217;s perception of you inside her mind.<\/p>\n<p>Despite what &#8220;Pickup Artist&#8221; ebooks say, there&#8217;s no magic bullet you can use that can immediately propel you out of the friend zone.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, however, there are certain things that you can do today which can kick start the process of &#8220;reframing&#8221; your perception (from friend to boyfriend) in her mind.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>From now on, match her VAKSOG modes when talking to her. Read the article above in its entirety to find out what this means.<\/li>\n<li>Use Fractionation on her.

First things first: learn all about <strong>VAKSOG mode matching<\/strong> by reading the entire article above. You&#8217;ll then have the skills to build REAL sexual rapport (as opposed to fake &#8220;BEST FRIEND&#8221; rapport which is killing you).<\/p>\n<p>Then, use the <strong>&#8220;Incite Jealousy&#8221;<\/strong> tactic on her.<\/p>\n<p>The full technique is inside Shogun Method, but here&#8217;s the simpler version of what to do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reduce your contact with her.<\/strong> When she calls or texts you, respond much, much later. Just tell her you&#8217;re busy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Act as if you&#8217;re out there having a social life which is separate from her.<\/strong> Go out with as many women as you can. Take pictures and post them on Facebook.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ask her for &#8220;dating advice&#8221;.<\/strong> Say that you&#8217;re interested in a certain &#8220;Mandy&#8221;, and ask her to help you attract her.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This works better if she knows who &#8220;Mandy&#8221; is &#8211; this will fire up the competitive streak in her like never before.<\/p>\n<p>Before anything, she&#8217;ll start to see you in a whole different light.
