Love Series: Digging Into What Is ‘The Friend Zone’ & If Its Possible To Climb Out Of It


Listen Later

For our ongoing series on romantic love, we wanted to get into something that’s been in the mind of folks in all groups. Whether you’re a pre-teen or someone who can afford to profess your love at LAX… many people have wanted to transition from being someone’s friend to romantic partners, but it’s a scary idea for many given it’s downside. The phenomena itself has been discussed in media, and even researched thoroughly by others in recent years. Today on AirTalk, Austin Cross gets into the core tenets of the friend zone with Damona Hoffman, dating coach, host of the “Dates and Mates” podcast and author of the book “F the Fairy Tale: Rewrite the Dating Myths and Live Your Own Love Story,” and Leah LeFebvre , researcher and associate professor of communication studies at the University of Alabama. Along with that, we’ll also get into what ways someone can transition out of it. We’ll also want to hear from you: share your “friend zone” experiences and failed/successful attempts by emailing [email protected] or call us at 866-893-5722.
