He’s only paying attention to his high romantic interest in her while she has low to no romantic interest and keeps telling him this.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Coach Corey Wayne and this is my video coaching newsletter and the topic of today's |
| 0:06.0 | newsletter is going to be how to course correct if you're stuck being just friends. |
| 0:12.0 | Well this particular email is from a viewer. He says he's an avid follower of my work but he admits he got ADHD, so it looks like he's having a hard time, |
| 0:24.8 | and he's very challenging to stay focused, as he says. |
| 0:28.7 | So in this particular instance, he made the Cardinal sin of trying to date a girl who right |
| 0:34.2 | off the get-go just says friends only. His solution was just to basically ignore |
| 0:40.5 | that and proceed anyways as everything was great. She keeps reiterating friends only. He keeps |
| 0:47.0 | trying to date her like normal. Obviously it's not going too well for him. So this is why if a woman says, well, I only think of you as a friend |
| 0:58.0 | or friends only, you got to say I'm not interested in that. You don't just go, oh, okay, |
| 1:02.9 | thinking that you'll change their mind later. Because if you agree to hang out with them in a |

| 1:13.4 | And it's just the more you hang out with her and the more you spend time with her, as friends |
| 1:17.3 | only, it just gets harder and harder to get out of that. They'll let you take them out and |
| 1:20.7 | spend money on them, but you won't get anywhere physically with them like this guy is experiencing. |
| 1:26.6 | So, he says, |
| 1:28.8 | Dear Corey Wayne, |
| 1:29.6 | I'm a premium member and an avid follower of your work. |
| 1:32.2 | I have ADHD so it can be challenging to stay focused, |
| 1:35.6 | but I'm working through your material. |
| 1:37.9 | I'd appreciate your perspective on a situation I may have mishandled. |
| 1:41.8 | Well, you definitely mishandled it. |
| 1:46.1 | But let's see what we can do to turn that frown upside down. I'm 39, a nurse living in a large town in the UK. I met a woman in |
