I actually like being friends with a guy before I date them and I know many girls are the same. Don't think of it as a friendzone just because you're not romantic yet. It is all about getting to know someone in a way that has no pressure, in a way that establishes respect, and in a way that no one gets hurt by. I think being friends with someone is the best way to go into dating. Women and girls don't always become your friend to trap you as such. It isn't a, "you'll always remain a friend". Women and girls, I know most about college girls (since that's what I am), don't always like to make the first moves though. So, be a friend. Be someone they have good communication with, can laugh with, can confide in, play board games late at night, eat food with... and then when the time is right, tell them how you feel. Don't make it a pressurized action, just be honest with your feelings. If the feelings aren't reciprocated, be mature and respectful and just accept it. Don't yell or make fun, don't pretend it was a game. Dating is all about being able to handle all that comes with it - the maturity and confidence needed. (Also, if the girl is insecure in any way, it is likely she won't think a guy is into her. I've been that girl. Sometimes you just need to be direct.)
Well it goes both ways. We can't help who we feel for and neither can guys. As a person who has been friendzoned and had to friendzone, I've had that question run through my mind for ages. It's because our attraction isn't there for the other person. Simply friendzoning could mean someone is not ready for a relationship or just doesn't like someone the way they like them. Reading people is virtually impossible you just have to shoot your shot and if they don't see you the way you see them, you take the rejection and you move on. Hope this helped x
The friendzone has been created by girls or boys for a very specific and good reason.
All those that do not fulfill the conditions to be outside that friendzone are integrated in it and what pretty much concerns the entire humanity except for the lucky one that has been chosen by the target person to be outside of it and that has the favors of the person you are seeking.
There is nothing you can (or should) do to leave that zone. Any attempt to leave it is a direct attack to the happiness of the person you are considering. Is that your aim to destroy their happiness so that you can take his place?
You may not see your competitor as worthy as you of her favors or love yet she chose him over you and she had her good reasons for it. Why not just leave it be rather than wanting to jeopardize it? The other might have something you don't have like the type of personality, character, intellect she finds attractive or he just was there at the right time when she needed someone to understand and/or support her.
It is hard to be second but believe me, being in a friendzone may result being positive for you at the end after all. By having been placed there, she gave you a chance to find someone that is perhaps better suited for you then her. It may not be today but tomorrow or the day after and you might even be thankful one day to have been friendzoned.
I friend zone guys who don't have the potential to change their effectiveness in my life - like there are those are shut out and those I negotiate positions with - the ones I friend zone tend to be unintelligent - a small group are not intellectual brilliant - most are smart intellectually but they aren't smart morally or socially or spiritually or intuitively or psychologically - or they are very smart but they don't measure up to my standard of purity - I don't require perfection but I want a guy whose better than Hugh Hefner when it comes to his purity
Because she has no reason to force herself into a relationship she doesn't desire. Period.
I think girls friend zone guys for different reasons. I think usually it’s because they may really like them as a person and friend, but just aren’t attracted to them as more than that. I think that it can change sometimes though.
Because they’re not interested romantically? And friendship is never bad?
Here's something that sounds crazy, a guy friend zoned me after he moved in with him, and now I feel messed up.
Because we don’t want to date them and we don’t have to , everyone should date who they are attracted to ONLY if they attracted back
Coz they like him but not sexually
Because guys suck, yay lgbt
Because it has to be done sometimes.
