Unfortunately the posts/FR that I was preparing to publish were lost due to my computer melting down!! Major inconvenience, but gotta keep it moving, so with that motivation here is a text article I recently posted on TAF.
After coming home from college, I decided to see who was home for the summer and down to hang. My guy friends are usually either working, with their gf's or sleeping, so I texted some other people and remembered my friend owed me a drink from months ago. This particular friend had been a crush of mine since I can remember. We grew up together and were always good friends, but nothing more. Whenever I was single she was taken, & visa-versa. Turns out, we're both done with school and conveniently single. In the past I wouldn't have been able to hold her interest let alone create solid attraction. I was perpetually stuck in LJBF Zone. Now having gained confidence and skills thanks to LoveSystems and Braddock/Mr. M's book "The Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game" I was able to turn an old "best friend zone" situation into an insta-date and a day 2 date.
The day that preceeded the following text convo, I surprised her and showed up at the theatre box office she was volunteering at. Out of no where she gave me a huge hug and ended up going out for a drink after the show. The rest of the night went well and I went home at 4:30AM feeling like my dream was coming true. I could try to recount the events and convo that led to that, but it would be choppy and hard to read at best; that's why they say write field reports when they are fresh, kiddies! Yesterday I needed to reconnect and continue the momentum I had gained. Enjoy!1:17PM [TjaX]: What up [name]? --sexy trombone playa [thats me]

6:55PM [name]: Jerk, you know you can't get enough of me
call me when your outside*The rest of the date: we went to get water ice, talked a bit about finally finishing school, etc. other comfort stuff, and after about 2 hrs I dropped her off, kiss closed, and went on my way.
Feel free to give me any suggestions or critiques you wish, positive or negative- its all feedback. I hope this helps show you that the LJBF zone isn't impossible to break out of.
Test your limits, and they may disappear.
Disassociate yourself from outcomes, and you will see what's really there; the MatriX
