Anonymous(30-35)+1 yWhy don't you have time for just a friend? For a second imagine that it is utterly impossible for you to find a serious romantic partner. You spend your entire lifetime searching for one. Cutting of every person who isn't interested in being romantically intertwined with you. On your death bed only those strong relationships you've kindles come to see you. But no one comes. Not a single soul because you don't have time for just friends.
Maybe that's to dark. Why not imagine you going through life again without setting aside time for just friends and you did a great job. You find the perfect women and she falls madly in love with you. You live the rest of your life and what feels like a fantasy world built for the two of you. Absolute perfection. You stay married for years but she dies before you. And there you sit alone again year after year with no one to speak to with nothing but memories and children who everyday seem to need you less and less.
Maybe still to harsh. Why not look on the bright side. You take that friendship and stay just friends. You find a wife and from time to time your friend comes and visits. Your families vacation together. Your children play together. She's there with her significant other when your wife dies to help you through it all.
Or here's a different story. You become her friend. Her best friend and you never marry. You never find a good girl but she's there and Year after year she introduces you to more and more girls hoping that you'd eventually find one that's made you happy because you've been such a great friend.
I can keep going but I think I've made my point. Stop assuming you know how things will cascade from here. Stop assuming things must go the way you internodes for them to end up being positive. At the very least you'll be less stressed. At best you could actually end up happy.00 Reply

+1 yYikes. too get her to feel differently and yet she is the one in control of how you feel? you call it love, i call it lack of understanding... smh
Honestly the best advice was the sarcasm on here and not the actual advice lol. Well your first mistake was believing in a thing as the "Friend Zone".
Your nearly 30 not 16. This is a shyt test young women 15-20 put guys through to see how they react. when you figure out
Were in era were others encourage the wrong shyt for other people for hidden reasons.
The Friend zone isn't real so stop giving it power. Ever notice the friend zone is kinda like fight club... we never truly discuss both but actually do in secret. lol
its as fictitious as a web pop up claiming you just won some free money.
Potential is always dangerous and risky. With that being said don't ever settle for the opposite sex. If your ever put into a position of becoming a best friend or brother like figure from someone you deem as potential but haven't made a move or worst missed one of her que's.
Kindly and respectfully shut the notion away. verbally Refuse to be labeled. As a man you need to stand on it. Most ladies won't admit there usually testing
If you just wanted to be friends you should state your intentions early, "winners make moves losers can't choose". If she's start labeling you "Guy best friend, "good friend" dismiss the thought and your self from here.00 Reply
481 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic. You can do a few things:
1. Take your chances and try to makebyou more boyfriend material by more subtle touches, flirting, maybe even make her jealous (sometimes it can work). Chances are she might feel uncomfortable and you need to be socially skilled for this to work. There's also a chance she feels so uncomfortable she doesn't want you as a friend anymore depending on how you do this this chance could be high.
2. give up and deciding if you want to be just friends with her and dealing with the pain that comes with it or break contact and not be friends with her. You have more chance on finding someone else with the latter.
If you are planning on not be friends with her ajyways then I would first take the risk and play a bit with her mind mentioned in option 1.00 Reply
+1 yFriend zone is something hard to get through but not impossible
But you have to understand her side try talking to her again and explain to her that you understand her but we only life once and you really care for her and tell her that for you she's worth risking it cause you love her a lot and its always ok to try and if it won't work then it won't but you guys will still be friends... Tell her you'll take it slow you won't have sex right away... But you'll start building your relationship up slowly and if she feels like it won't work after you guys started dating then stop00 Reply
+1 yYou can't make someone feel differently about you. If she isn't interested in dating you then that's unlikely to change. If you don't want to stay friends with her, that's your choice, but people rarely get out of the "friendzone." So if you don't actually want to be friends with her then I would suggest moving on and finding someone who may actually be interested in you.

You can't force something like that. Unfortunately once you are friend zoned like that it is almost impossible to get past it. She already told you how she felt. If you're not okay being friends with her tell her that. Be respectful of her feelings but be prepared to walk away.

+1 yBreak up with her. Tell her you don't see her as just a friend and you're not interested in protecting this "friendship," because you see it as one-sided.
Tell her you're sorry, but hopefully she can become "friends" with lots of other guys, just not you, because you're not looking for a friend, you're looking for love, and that's all.
The whole REASON she friendzoned you in the first place is because she doesn't think you have the balls to stand up to her. Prove her wrong and maybe she'll come crawling back to you.
And if not, fuck her.

One other way to get out of the friendzone is to start dating a girl who's younger and prettier...
All of a sudden, she'll discover she had feelings for you after all. . .
+1 ydont listen to anyone. no such thing as the friends zone. and you get there by one way and that's by being friendly.
so how you get out you ask? that's by not acting friendly. I not saying be a dick, but show her you want to be more than friends. flirt heavy. be semi sexual not to the point of harassment, or rape but in a flirty way. and if she's not catching it or she not goinh. just tell her your not looking for friends, drop her and find a new joan. because then that's not being friends zoned, that's being curved. and your going to be curved it happens to the best of us16 Reply- +1 y
I disagree, if you flirt heavy and we STILL don't see you the same way, we aren't curving you, we're setting the boundary that was set from the VERY beginning. If this guy can't handle being her friend, then he obviously doesn't love her enough to respect their friendship. Example: Just because you wave your dick in front of our lips, doesn't mean we're gonna put it in our mouth and if we say "NO" from the very beginning, then we aren't curving you, we're reinforcing the boundary because YOU decided to cross it. That's aaaalll you. Not saying this dude shouldn't try, but he won't necessarily be a "fallen hero" if he gets rejected. He's just another guy who thought he could change a girl's mind when she ALREADY made it up. I feel for this dude, it sucks. But hey, at least there might be a light at the end of the tunnel if he stayed friends with her. Flirt here and there but if she pulls away. don't force anything. It's just like sex, if it's a NO, it's a NO. NOT a MAYBE. a NO. N-O.

@Apple-mango my goal it's to fuck and you set up boundries. that is indeed being curved , the fuck. and your analogy was stupid because no one said anything about sexual harassment. he doesn't want to be friends he wants to be more then that. by you saying no the first time and wants to still be more than friends, him trying again is bound to happen
- +1 y
and just because you originally set up boundries doesn't mean that if he doesn't respect your decision. thats just a load of bullshit. his goal is either to fuck or to build a intimate relationship, so why would he sit there. and boundries are made to be broken. and decisions can easily be swayed. I put in this so called friend zone sway decisions and fucked multiple times, my bros did and I even seen guy at work that I really don't take to do it.
- +1 y
I'm not trying to be rude or ignorant. I'm just saying a few thing.
if I flirt heavy and she makes me pump my brakes that's indeed being curved.
just because you set up boundaries and I continue to try doesn't mean I don't love her even if love is involved. it just means that I can't be just friends because I dont want be your friend I want to be your man.
- +1 y
Then there's no winning is there? Cuz she's just gonna keep saying no until she magically says yes which most of the time, doesn't happen because we probably filed you as our "like a brother" friend In our mental cabinets. If you do love her but you can't stay friends with her after how many times she says no, then your best bet would be to move on her to a new girl because not only are you playing yourself in a fantasy but you're also persisting in a way that could possibly make her feel uncomfortable and eventually push her away.

sorry i forgot about you 2 weeks ago
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yMan I can smell the desperation off you. You told her how you feel ( which is awesome because it shows you have balls) in a weird way she's un sure herself. If you didn't play any games and you're completely honest with her. Then there is a good chance... instead of being somebody you're not, it will work out. If you read Pick Up Artist articles on how to pick up (most of those guys fuck escorts) huge red flags go off and her mind. Women can subconsciously pick up bad vibes. Play to have fun... dont play to get laid. dont play as the end goal. Women will move the post almost all the time... just to see what your after. Women control sex but men control the realtiontionship. Show her that you can hadel her flying monkeys withe ease. While tring to find someone else cause she could have someone else lined up.
00 ReplyThe 'Friend Zone' is like a Black HOLE!!! You can't get out of it!! Once a 'friend' you are always a 'friend' and NEVER will see the Promised Land!
If you can just be a 'friend' and see her with other guys, go for it.
I think it is best just to move on, and let her go. She doesn't want you, so why hang on?20 ReplyIt'd be in your best interest not to push it, I think. If you really care for her, respect her decision. I know it's not a popular opinion, but she has set up a boundary, it'd be the decent thing to do to not cross that line.
20 ReplyReduce or completely stop all contact with her, find another girl and fuck her. This will accomplish 2 things: 1. You are gonna realize that "your" girl is not really that special and that there are many better girls out there 2. She will see that other girls want to fuck you so she will start seeing you as a man, instead of seeing you as a "friend"
10 ReplyThere is no such thing as "the friendzone." If you wanted to be a friend, you would be "a friend." You've been rejected. If you can't handle being a friend, and many guys can't, then walk away from her. Distance yourself and get over her.
00 ReplyNo means no. Sometimes you've got to know when to throw in the towel and find another target. So it goes, and so it will always go until you find the right one. Good luck.
10 ReplyIf you can't stay realistically in the long run then leave. You're going to hurt yourself with false hope and you'll hurt her with pressure. If she wants to be friends and friends only, respect it or just leave
20 ReplyAbandon her and find someone else. There are few things in this world that can make a man look like a desperate moron. Chasing one girl is the worst you can do. Especially as a 20 something.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yJust tell her that you'll take it slow. If you really do love her then it shouldn't be that hard.
Or she actually is friend zoning you. In that case work on yourself, go to the gym, take some classes, maybe something different like kickboxing.
Maybe she'll see the animalistic side and want you?00 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yso it's just about sex and you want her to have sex with you even when she said she doesn't want to? if tyhe friendship doesn't matter that much or you just can't do it walk.

Sex and love and intimacy and trust.
Maybe YOU only think about sex, sex, sex...
Opinion Owner+1 y@Bananaman177 I was just going off what he wrote he said they love each other but she said she didn't want to sex and he doesn't have time for a "friend", so basically if she doesn't put out, he's not interested. Sex is an intimate choice and if you really care about her you wouldn't be trying to find ways to make her feel different. Hell, if it was that easy why don't you feel different? If staying is impossible for you without sex then you should probably go in my opinion.
- +1 y
Well I completely agree with that, he should dump her if all she's gonna do is hurt his ass because of unrequited fucking love, that's the worst feeling in the world. It'll poison the friendship eventually no matter what, why drag out the misery?
Besides, this girl is just going to end up dating a succession of other guys for their "traits" and then wonder why none of her relationships work out. So have fun being the shoulder she comes to cry on about how none of her boyfriends can connect with her like you do, how come they can't be nice and funny and awesome like you, boo hoo hoo. . ."
Like, "hold on, let me blow my brains out with two uzi's at the same time, B-B-B-BRRRRRRT!"
Opinion Owner+1 y@Bananaman177 Then we agree. he should walk. If sex is the only thing that makes the relationship worth it then she's probably not the one for him anyway so he'd be doing both of them a favor in the long haul.

Yes, anything else is dishonest and unfair to both.
+1 yWhat do you mean you can't stay in the long run? That would scare me...
20 ReplyDude you are not getting her this way take my suggestion. Avoid her and start getting close to other girls when she'll get jealous that would be your opportunity to get outta friendzone.
