Re: 3 Easy Steps to Getting Friend Zoned!
People just seem perpetually confused and uncertain as to what they want from other people. For the sake of this conversation, "friend zone" appears to mean a sort of limbo, where a person is neither one place nor the other. For most guys, if you're attracted to a girl and there's little or no evidence of attraction reciprocated, the simplest path is one of separation. I've seen far too many friends pursue what they claimed to be friendship that ended up being a purgatorial stasis in which they ended up brooding and resenting the girl. I think a lot of people consider friendship as a stepping stone to something more, which only diminishes the value of friendship. Learn what you want, people.

No, why would you abandon a girl just because she's not interested in you? If she's good enough to care for in that respect, is she not good enough to be your friend?

Of course. But I was mostly referring to guys that can't seem to decide whether they want to really be friends or something more. Did you not read the rest of what I wrote? If you let that "friendship" linger and it doesn't go where you want it, then it stagnates and it's a shitty thing for both people.

Friends are there for each others and treat one another nicely (usually). So where is the joke here ?

I put Scintilla in the friend zone the first time he asked me out. If he stopped being my friend at that point we never would have gotten married.

This. Immorrel actually spent 2 stints in the friend zone. Once when we 1st met, and once when I had a bout of insanity and dumped him for another guy. XP But ya know, if he had said 'Fuck this friend shit! I'm outta here!', especially after we broke up that 1st time, he wouldn't have been there when things went bad and I finally realized he was the one I really wanted. And we never would have gotten married. *^_^*Cyanna wrote:I put Scintilla in the friend zone the first time he asked me out.

I have been on both ends of the 'friend zoning'. I have put guys there, and I have also been put there myself by guys. And I have found the 'I would rather have them as a friend than not at all' mind-set is what makes those types of things work. I am more likely to choose guys in my friend zone with this mind set to be my next serious boyfriend because by then, we already know each other pretty well, and they will have already had a chance to prove how much they really care about me. Which is half the battle right there. And on the other side of the fence, if I really like the guy and really care about him, I don't mind being in the friend zone. I mean yeah, it hurts seeing them with women (or men
