Getting Out of the Friend Zone
By Dr. George Karanastasis | September 7, 2009
We’ve all been there. We like a girl, get close with her, but can’t seal the deal. And the longer the friendship lasts - the worse our chances become.
Welcome to the “friend zone”. Getting into it is common. Getting out of it: rare… or is it?
Truth be told, most men can’t make the leap from friend to boyfriend. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. In fact, with the right technique, it becomes more and more probable.
Not only that… but this technique works for getting a girl and getting a girl back. It all comes down to this…

Tricks to Get Her Back Can Cost You Your Relationship
By Dr. George Karanastasis | September 7, 2009
What’s worse than losing the girl you love? Having her hate your guts with no chance at a reunion.
Sadly, that’s exactly what happens when one relies on tricks to get her back. I’m talking about things like ignoring her, insulting her, and intentionally trying to make her jealous.
Now, some guys use these methods because they don’t know any better. Others because of bad advice (and there’s plenty of that going around). Either way, the bottom line is this: you can trick a girl to come back to you but she won’t stick around for long. Furthermore, once she leaves again, she’s gone for good. Here is why…

Can Guys and Girls Be Friends? Absolutely NOT!
By Dr. George Karanastasis | September 6, 2009
Guys and girls can not be friends. Yeah, I said it - they just can’t. I know
I’ll get some heat for this but it’s true.
“Wait a minute!” I hear you crying, “I have many girl friends so what are you going on about?”
Listen. I do too - but not by choice. In fact, men never choose to be friends with a girl. Do these friendships exist? Sure, but only in the following circumstances (and they’re certainly not “real” friendships):
1) He’s not attracted to her (but she most likely is)
2) He’s already in a relationship (but if he wasn’t he’d definitely “hit that”)
3) He works with or shares a class with her
4) She’s not attracted to him - which ties into the point of this post…

Getting a Girlfriend vs. Getting a Girl Back
By Dr. George Karanastasis | September 6, 2009
A relationship begins and ends with attraction. So
it’s no surprise that when guys go through a breakup many of them turn to the pick-up community for help. Why? Because pick-up artists (PUA) are masters at attracting women. They’ve got the whole thing down to a science.
And while their techniques are great for getting a girlfriend… they fall short when it comes to getting a girl back. Now, if you’re familiar with the works of PUAs (e.g. David DeAngelo, Neil Straus, Mystery) you wouldn’t think that’s the case. After all, it’s the same concept: meet a girl, gain her trust, build attraction, and get the girl, right?
Well… yes and no. You see - the process of getting a girl and getting her back share the same rules but it’s a whole different ballgame. And I’ll tell you a story that explains why…

Why Nice Guys Finish Last When It Comes to a Breakup
By Dr. George Karanastasis | September 3, 2009
Every guy does it. Their girlfriend calls it quits and they instantly become “nice.” What’s wrong with that? Plenty. In fact, it always backfires. And here’s why…
Being kind isn’t the problem - but going overboard is. That’s what most men do after a breakup. They become the nicest guys in the world and push their ex further away. And there’s a very good reason for this (3 actually)…

The Top 5 Breakup Excuses & How to Interpret Them
By Dr. George Karanastasis | March 22, 2009
Every breakup happens for a reason. But too often, that reason is never revealed (at least not the real one).
And we get it ladies… you’re trying your best NOT to add fuel to the fire; to avoid making a bad situation even worse…
But dare I say that your “gracious” attempts to cushion our fall are doing us a great disservice.
Why?
Because we can’t correct the problem unless we know what it is - either with this relationship or another down the road.
With that said, this post will explore 5 common - yet vague - breakup excuses, how to interpret them, and what to do about them.

How To Rekindle Love In Your Relationship
By Dr. George Karanastasis | March 21, 2008
Starting a new relationship with the right person can result in a “high” that no drug can match (natural or synthetic).
It is in this first of six stages of a relationship (the one I call the ‘Honeymoon’) that we feel ourselves to be “in love”.
But just like all good things come to an end, this too comes to pass. That love, or to be more correct, infatuation, gives way to reality and the relationship typically slides into its later stages and oftentimes gets stale.
