Do guys ever regret rejecting/friendzoning a girl?

[Sweetascandy1990]

I've been friendzoned twice before and I wonder at times if these men will ever have any regrets. They rejected me romantically because they had no romantic chemistry feelings, but they loved me so much as a person that they made me their best friends. However, they led me on and broke my heart. I initially briefly dated them, but then they friendzoned me for a long time until I walked out.

I was a good woman and helped them out and lifted them out of their struggle, but I should of walked away sooner to avoid the pain and heartbreak.

They didn't want to loose me, but eventually I walked out because it was too painful... I love very deeply. They hurted when I left, but it was becoming emotionally unhealthy. Not that I would go back to them because I wanna move on, but it's painful at times to look back and reflect these men took me for granted and took advantage and made me fall for them... it's a long story...

Have any guys ever changed their minds or regret rejecting a female friend romantically? Is it possible to see a best friend in a different light... for platonic feelings to become romantic feelings?

Rejection really hurts, especially if it wasn't in a nice way. Any personal stories would be appreciate it.

There was a girl in school i was good friends with she wanted more out of it but at the time we were young and I didn't really know she liked me that way. We were on a school trip skiing and when we got back she stole a picture of us on the trip the school had put up this was how I found out. I was too embarrassed to do anything about it but we stayed friends, we drifted apart after school was done she moved away and life went on but for a long time I regretted not just going for it and seeing what might have been.

I have... I just didn't give a chance to people who maybe I should have. But that's life, can't always make the right turns.

If it’s anything like when girls friend zone guys then I’m assuming they think fondly of you and miss the friendship aspect more than anything. They won’t see it as a missed opportunity since there was no initial attraction in the first place. Unless you changed yourself physically to become someone they’d desire. I do wonder about this too though now that I’m older and I see some of their wives got fat and I look good and young and have improved my sex appeal.

They lack empathy, they’re either narcissistic, sociopathic or psychotic.
I’m a high functioning sociopath and I loathe romanticism, if you do good things for me, I would go out of my way to return the favour, not because I’m interested, it’s just because I don’t like to live in a karmic debt. As a sociopath who’s conversing with a neurotypical, let me give you an advice, if you want something, just take it! Ask them out, fear of rejection and embarrassment exists on inside your brain, it doesn’t exist in the real world, it’s all in your head.

A couple of times. There was a beautiful black receptionist in my building and she was crushing on me (I think) but I was totally clueless and never did anything. Another time someone offered to introduce me to a bright and beautiful young woman who unfortunately had some severe acne scarring and I declined. One of my worst decisions ever. I would have quickly seen past the acne. I was acquainted with her and she was a prize.

They surely do after some years when they look at you become more attractive and sexy. 😊
Because we always regret our past choice if it's turn in such a beauty

Guys don't "friendzone."

They might only have an interest in you as a friend, but that's not "friendzoning" -- it doesn't occur or function in the same way as the phenomenon you see in girls known as friendzoning.

no, not yet at least i reject them because I feel like I don't really care about them or feel like they just want me for something
