Did you ever regret friendzoning someone?

[MoonFace2]

I rarely have, with one exception. But there were sensible reasons not to date this person.

I had a friend that wanted it to be more. She was smart and pretty and very nice. I actually tried to make myself be attracted to her because it would have been good for both of us. Instead I married somebody else and lost track of her. She married a real asshole and I guess he was abusive and eventually murdered her. Maybe if things were diffent she would still be alive.

I’m sorry to hear that.

i suppose at the time there was a reason for not wanting to date them or be seen as trying to date them right?

[MoonFace2]

What was your reason? Mine was that they had some mental health issues.

sometimes you meet too many people from the same social circle and its not really possible to date too many people from it , i find a lot of the girls i meet seem to know each other

[MoonFace2]

So, say, you were already dating *Nina* and you met and decided you also liked her friend, *Karen*? Or was it more of a situation where you meet and like several girls that are all friends and don’t want to choose?

[Opinion Owner]

they just all seemed to know each other and from same social circle and went to same bars. like my town is only 20,000 so obviously a lot of the singles my age know each other but i've had this happen in larger cities as well

[MoonFace2]

That makes sense. I have a small community, too, where everyone knows everyone’s business.

especially the singles / bar scene in a place this small everyone seems to know each other , same with the gym and other places here. it be rare to come across anyone who wasn't know to each other

I wouldn't say I regret it. But I did friendzone this one guy, let's call him Mark, and it kind of went poorly. We were friends at work. He never asked me out but our mutual friends told me he was into me and asked if I was into him. I said no on three separate occasions to three different friends. One of our friends told me Mark would stop pursuing me. But when I started dating this coworker, let's call him Braydon, Mark told Braydon I was sleeping with our 67 year old supervisor who was the highest ranking supervisor on shift. Needless to say, we had a bit of a falling out...

I don't believe I ever have.
