Anwar White says you can't force a man to see you romantically if he doesn't already. He uses a freeway lane metaphor to explain that trying to change how he categorizes you, like moving him from the friend zone, rarely works. Accept where he places you instead of trying to convert him.

Joe said, how can I get him to think of me in a romantic way? You can't.
It has to start that way. If he's already put you in a category of friend zone, girl, you shouldn't want to get out of it because your future husband will never do that. We have to be really clear about who's my future husband and who's not. We can't make guys my. Your future husband. That's not how it works. Okay.
So a lot of y' all try to make fetch happen. You're gonna. You're trying to make these men become your husband. Girl, he's gotta already be in that lane. You know, I think about it almost like a freeway, right? You got a fast lane, you got a medium speed lane, you got a slow lane. The gag is that a lot of y' all are trying to make the people in the slow lane in the fast lane and work like that. Doesn't work like that. Some of y'. All. No shade. Are trying to be in the fast lane, and you're not ready for that.
