The Friend Zone

[Counter_Southpaw]

If you have to stop and think, "Am I in the friendzone?" then you are.

There is no friend zone, people who think they're stuck in it, just aren't dateable.

Like me! The friend zone, the only way out is to tell her how you feel

I don't have any specific friendzone.

I don't know about any of you folks, but I almost always thinking to myself "What if we were dating?".

The only women I keep entirely as friends are ones who I'm not attracted to. Friends who are much older than myself, and friends who are much younger than myself. Or ones who have husbands, boyfriends, etc. who I know, or are lesbians or ones that I simply know too well to ever consider dating.

Other than that, it's either the "Best cards" zone wherein I present myself to that person with all my best traits and none of my bad ones or the one where few people ever find themselves--the one wherein I know their good and bad traits and am still attracted to them. Knowing them inside and out and not being turned off from their flaws. This is usually a one-person zone.

Sadly, I'm always in that zone. I've been told that I'm a good friend to at least 7 girls when trying to ask them out. I just give up asking now. They either like me as a friend or they like me for something more. I'm not going to push the envelope any more.

I'm currently in the friend zone with a girl, but as of this moment, I'm very thankful, because she's pissing me off lately.

On topic, I'm in the friend zone a lot, but often times, I don't care, because I'm rarely looking for someone for something outside of friendship these days (with the exception of the girl I previously wrote about).

If you have to stop and think, "Am I in the friendzone?" then you are.

Not true, you could always just over analyze things. Thats like saying if you think "Am I a child rapist?" you are a child rapist. Even if your not, and you are just paranoid.

...Weird analogy, sorry.

I've relegated a few girls to the friend zone over the years. It's always funny as hell to watch them be like "wait...you're telling me you don't want this?" as they get increasingly desperate, like their feminine wiles are broken or something.

I swear it drives them WILD. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

like their feminine wiles are broken or something.

A woman with broken feminine wiles is a sad and wretched creature.

I've never been put in the friend zone, but I've never tried to start a relationship beyond friendship.

Unfortunately 'friend zone' is just a very male way of trying to come to terms with the fact that the wonderful, beautiful woman that makes your day with a smile just doesn't feel as deeply as you do (if this seems like the voice of experience, it is). Unfortunately as with most things we cant control, it often seems easier to blame ourselves i.e. 'if I'd acted on my feelings earlier she wouldn't have friendzoned me!' than to accept that she was never that interested and no actions on our part could change that. That's my take on it at least: feel free to disagree. As much as anything typing this is a method for me to exorcise my own angsty BS daemons!

 

[DJDarque]

Fuck it, here I go.

In my tries I have always been in the friend zone because we have been good friends before I really started to like them that way.

But that was before. As for now, I don't really even try. Mostly because I don't have the time to socialize that I used to.

 

[Sark]

Friend zoning doesn't happen to me. I either make a friend, or ask them out, being direct yields results, even if they aren't always good ones.
