Women trouble "falling into the friend zone"

Post » Sat May 12, 2012 8:37 pm

Okay so I am afraid I am falling into "the friend zone with a young woman" I really like and love, here is my problem.

Yesterday when we had a decussion about her sister , she said to me:
"youd have made a great brother for a sister ,I have always wanted an older brother"

Then after that she said , "you're an incredible man. How did I get so lucky that you found me in your search?"

(I was seeking out Mormons to make friends with because my brother became one)

She has told me that I am the type of man she wants to marry , the only barrier is our religions , She is a Mormon and Mormonism is not my cup of tea.
however right now this is not the problem.

I feel I am at a point where the next move I make could ethier be the final push into "the friend zone" or I could go into "the long term relationship zone"

I have so many things in common with this young woman it is not funny , I feel she is my "other half" now I feel "whole" just knowing someone this incredible exists, even if we don't end up together I will feel the same way, I feel like a new man.
We have a pretty solid foundation based on friendship, in our relationship.

I feel this woman could be the perfect wife for me, I wish to spend the rest of my life with her, so what would you guys advise about "not falling into the friend zone" ?

cheers.

Note for the ladies:

To any women on here , you never say this to a guy "you are like a brother to me" it is crushing, confidence shattering it is absolutely horrible for the good majority of men , espeacialy if you know he shows an interest in you regarding hooking up or been your boy friend , your safest bet is saying "lets just be friends, your a really great friend and smile softly"

The Friend Zone doesn't exist, http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1330981-the-friend-zone/

Usually in this case one would recommend to JAHO, but I can't imagine why one would want to date a Mormon.

DAHO. Sure, you might have a small chance at her accepting, but if you are as close as you say then there is no mystery anymore, no more tension. Also, she called you 'like a brother'. Now, I know nothing about Mormonism, but that sounds to me like she isn't even considering dating you.

So if you want to crush your dignity and get shot down for a very small percentage of a chance that she would say yes, and then you would have a very awkward relationship anyways, go ahead. But I don't recommend it.

Hmmm... Now that you mention it, call up two hokers OP. Have them pose as your wives and ask her out. Problem solved.

Friend zone don't exist. You're just being rejected. Contrary to popular belief, women know what they want and if they want you, chances are they going to let you know about it in their own way. It is all on you rather or not you catch on in time.

My problem is we are dating , but I have a feeling if I don't act soon I will be friend zoned because she has lost interest in me , so a unique situation.
I get the feeling if we did break up ,there wouldn't be any hard feelings though it would sting a little bit.
but we would be indeed friends.

I said friend zoned because I feel I am going to be definitely friend zoned, if I don't do something soon, I think its because I am been to nice and well "brother like" but not intentionally.
Someone has told me to play hard to get , get some new cloths , and not to be so nice all the time.

Does Mormon forbid marriage to non Mormon? I know there is at least one Mormon in this forum, perhaps someone could enlighten us?

some would say they forbid it. but it is frowned upon and we talked once about getting married in a registry office.

My brother is a Mormon, he told me this.

Anyway my problem right now is getting friend zoned pretty much.

Honestly from a female perspective, why cant she make it clear either, the weight of this just isnt on you, this men always have to be the ones to speak up or ask first is so out of date society moved on along time ago, and generally anyone who says i just want to be freinds already knows your interested or they wouldnt say it, and unless they are really naive or just plain insensitive know what their saying. One of the best that happened to me was someone who said to me i just want to be freinds, i said you think alot of yourself if you think i was interested in you in the first place, needless to say they werent happy, and i wasnt interested in them.

But if she loses interest in you anyways things may not have worked out between you, if she's interested she'll stick it out, my freinds and i used to laugh about the hard to get, we said you play hard to want, most of that is rubbish, treat em mean keep em keen, anyone that wants to be treated like rubbish has a problem, or just plain stupid.

Only way your going to know is to ask her, if you dont you lose, if she says no you lose, if you ask and she says yes then youve succeeded, well to a point.

Should've been honest and up front with her by telling her your intentions from the beginning. Now you have a new friend.

Err, friend zone exists. It means being only a friend to someone else whilst the other person wants more. Why wouldn't it exist? :laugh:

I'm so sorry you've been hurt badly like this. I'd like to tell you that not all women are like that, but we probably all are.

BUT, if it's any consolation,it works the other way too!

A few years back, I fell for a guy. I mean, supremely, excrutiatingly fell for a guy. I gave him everything I had, emotionally, financially, physically. God I loved that boy. And he ended it, stating that he just didnt feel like having relationships. Fair enough, I adored him enough that I was just so so happy to still have him as a friend.
oddly enough, nothing really changed for me. We were still best friends, I still gave him everything I had, completely of my own free will. The only thing that changed was that he slept with other girls also, and as his best friend I got to hear all the gory details. We allways had such a good time together, he was so happy to have someone like me to talk to also, he said it was cool to have a best mate that also 'did stuff'. It was cool how I could understand the issues he had with girls, it was cool how we could play games together, watch porm together, and then I could do a little lapdance for him and show him some new stuff in that aspect of things.
Friends. Friends for farks sake.

Fast forward 2 years in which time I got away from him by quite drastically moving to another country, and I still miss him and what good 'friends' we were. It's only now I realise that giving up that much for someone who didnt even really care wasnt particularly healthy.

So please dont think it's something girls just to to boys. I too have been in that dreaded friend zone, nothing more than a 'little sister figure' 'agony aunt' and 'disposable tissue'.

if she doesn't like you THAT way, you probably won't get any further with her unless you twist her mind around a bit. which is tricky if it's not what she wants and it could end up damaging your relationship more than it helps.
you guys need to stop falling for girls who obviously svck. sorry but a lot of you are digging your own grave
