I've been a card-carrying member of the Friend Zone all my life, myself... :/

I kinda feel that if you've been "friend zoned" you kinda deserve it for not being upfront about your intentions in the first place. Then again, I've only ever been the friend-zone-er.

Nonsense. It's part of being young. Some of my best memories of childhood involve heartbreak. Revel in it.

Well said.

Friend zoned is a good thing cause then you get a friend. Rather than ruining a friendship

The way people talk sometimes makes me think they were never interested in friendship in the first place, and just used it as an excuse to try and win the girl over. :confused:

Never really been in the friend zone myself but been on the other side with people trying to maybe be a little more than friends with me before. Thats an awkward place to be.

This is how I feel as well. I don't really understand how you can even get into the friend zone. If you like someone, then ask them on a date. It is simple.

Ah, the friend zone. That magical place where your soul is drained away by the carefree dismissal of affection by those you love.

Alot of thought, has gotten me to agree with this 100%. I completely should've seen this coming, I put myself into this situation. Being straight up, maybe I would've gotten further....or maybe not. Just something I'll have to be wondering about for ever. =l

Chances are she wasn't interested or she would have made the move, or maybe she put too much thought in like you but came to the conclusion of just friends. But hey least shes a friend, I had a friend I asked and haven't spoke to her since she said "No", rather she hasn't spoke to me :rolleyes:

Yup. Utter silence on her end. I figured she didn't feel the same, but then she started wanting to hangout alot soon after that. Can't figure her out for the life of me...

She doesn't want to lose you totally, that's why she wants to hangout.

I was friend-zoned recently. It felt terrible at first but on reflection, us being in a relationship wouldn't have really worked out anyway. So I'm getting over it. The game he bought me to make up for it helped a lot :biggrin:

This should only be defined when the situation involves an ex lover, because it sure as hell hurts more than the initial breakup.

Otherwise, it isn't the "friend zone" it is simply rejection.

Don't ever regret being friend zoned. I remember how much I used to loath it up until year 10. I met this girl that I thought was awesome and we became best- friends over the course of the year. I asked her out and she said yes but didn't feel the same way. Six months later she shacked up with some guy at a party and didn't even tell me. I found out after we broke up (because I found out she didn't really like me) from a guy that she used to be close to, and that I hated. So remember that whenever you are friend zoned at least rejoice in the fact that she was honest and didn't end up hurting you even more than she would've by just saying no. :smile:

I've seen too much higurashi to get involved in complicated things, my best advice if you get into a friend situation is despite the emotional turmoil take Ross Kemps advice when things are about to kick off....

It's happened to me before, and I'm pretty sure I've done it to others. Sometimes it just means you're not dateable anyway. Best to just move on and find someone new.

Try and stay friends if you can OP, you can never have too many. :wink:

Guys are too vague, girls are too na?ve :biggrin:

I don't think this is common the other way round though, that a girl gets friend zoned by a guy?

But yeah, what the others have said. All relationships are important. It shouldn't be a goal to upgrade someone to a certain status.

I don't think this is common the other way round though, that a girl gets friend zoned by a guy? At least I've never experienced that, unless he was already in a relationship. But when I have picked up that a guy I'm not into likes me, I've always been ahead of him and told him so. Someone never gets it though.

But yeah, what the others have said. All relationships are important. It shouldn't be a goal to upgrade someone to a certain status. But honesty is always important.

When I was in year 10 I friend-zoned two year 8 girls. It's not totally unheard of, just rare.

Going by this definition, I've been "friend zoned" 1 time. Every other girl I have had a crush on, I never told them, and I always was stopped by the fear that it would end the friendship. So you see, even though I wanted more, I valued my friendship with them as well.

The friend zone's a myth, she was just never attracted to you. But it's good you told her, now you can move on.

I was just friends with one of my ex-girlfriends for over two years before we started dating, and almost four years with another. The Friend Zone doesn't exist. It's just an excuse guys use so they can tell themselves that, if circumstances had been different, the girl in question would definitely have fallen far them while in fact she probably never would have been interested in a romantic relationship.

Isn't that just called breaking her will? I've been friend zoned, but only for a couple of weeks max. I try and get my feelings out pretty quick, so we both know where we stand. If she's game, great. I'f not, I'm happy to be friends, but at least there's no pent up feelings...

No, the conception and life of Hercules is a myth, the friend zone is real. The definition of "friend zone" is to be only seen as a friend by someone you fancy and after telling them they shoot you down. It is real.

I thought being in the friend zone was perfect. Who better to fall in love with than somebody who is a friend? They are loyal and always there! Yeah, that philosophy doesn't get very far.

The friend zone is AFTER you tell them you like them and they say they don't feel the same way
