What are the signs that she like you as a friend and not into romantic interest?

[MuizC]

So I’ve been talking to this girl for quite some time and I've been thinking , is she using me just for the sake of entertainment? Or there’s more to it?

[Thewiseowlman]

Most girls will keep guys around just for the sake of entertainment and for attention with no intentions of being anything more than friends. If you haven't got together (intimacy), chances are you're in the friend zone. From the minute you meet a girl, you have a very narrow window of time to make your intentions clear that you want to be more than friends, if you don't do this, you will end up being in the friendzone. As time passes, the more attention and time you devote to her, you lower your chances of making her your girlfriend even further. Your most valuable commodity is your attention and when she knows she can get that whenever she wants without having to give anything back to you, she will value it less and less because your attention is a cheap commodity to her. The average girl in her twenties is bombarded with male attentions from social media and dating apps. You need to be different.

Stop giving her attention, stop being her entertainment, focus on your self and becoming the best version of yourself, work on your goals, get fit, expand your circle of friends and pursuit other options (girls). Having more options will naturally prevent you from putting all your attention on one girl. Also, when a girl knows that you have other options, she will naturally start competing for you. Flip the script.

Now you don't have to be rude to her or be cold. Next time she hit you up, just kindly let her know you're busy and have other things going on.

Here are signs you are friendzoned:

- She doesn’t put much effort into looking good in front of you
- She shared sometimes gross details about herself or if she burps/farts in front of she isn’t self conscious about it. Also if she discusses her insecurities (unsolicited) about her weight, body or age it’s a bad sign.
- she asks for a lot of one way favors before you are even intimate.
- she acts overly confident and comfortable around despite you not doing anything to make her laugh or engage in conversation. This is tricky but I noticed this bullshit in the past. She’s confident because she isn’t nervous about saying/doing something to turn you off.
- If she asks for advice and/or complains about other guys. Huge red flag here. Instant game over. Immediately stop talking to her and walk away with your self respect.
- if she compliments you along the lines “oh your a great guy” but never mentions you being cute/attractive. After hanging out with her 2 or 3 times she should at least once mention something about you being attractive. She might not on a first date (despite liking you) but she will always say something later.

Anyway go with you gut man. However I can promise you that if she friendzones you then you have less than a 1% chance of her changing her mind. If you are okay with that than suit yourself. But I have regretted every single time I want along with this. Just me personally

Also want to mention that the vast majority of women do NOT truly respect men they friéndzone as real men.

Only exception would be if she speaks up early about where she stands before accepting any effort, attention, favors, etc. from you. I have had a few women say that to me. I thanked them for their honesty. But it sounds like she hasn’t done this so be careful.

You don't give any background information as to why you think she's using you for her entertainment.

If she likes you as more than a friend, then she will most likely do some or all of these things:

- Find a way to be physically close to you or touch you, and not mind you being physically close
- Reply to your texts positively, sometimes text you first, and try to keep the conversation going
- Text you at night
- Remember things you tell her
- Find ways to be around you
- Smile a lot when she's with you, play with her hair, or mirror your actions
- Act shy with you or tease you in a friendly way
- Compliment you if you smell nice
- ask you if you've done something she's interested in or bring up places she wants to go to (hoping you will ask her out)

If she's just using you as entertainment when she's bored, she might:

- Not always text back or take a long time to take back
- Text you first and then not keep the conversation going or text back
- Tell you about all her problems because she only sees you as a friend and isn't trying to impress you

Most things are hand in hand with friendships but the more I've thought about this the more I've realised differences between platonic and crushes. One is flirting touching one another in a flirty way hands on hands/arms/legs, any type of skin contact kisses huge sign. Not being able to look you in the eye, being shy around you but not in general, stuttering, blushing, messing up sentences.

In a somewhat note her face instantly smiles upon seeing you, she gives you hugs, playfully punches or mess around with you, linking arms and walking around, sitting on your lap if there's no other seats, lean on shoulder if tired. (But these are all things that I've done with friends so while these are flags she likes you as a person they're not necessarily flags that she likes you as a partner).

Don't run on signs. If you want to advance the relationship you must do it directly by asking her. Expect that she might avoid you afterwards if she's not interested. We need to stop participating in the game of "signs". Every woman reacts differently to other people, and every reaction is unique based context. On top of that, the context is mostly her internal process, something you cannot ever know.

You're trying to interpret a language which has 4 billion unique variations. Just use English, or your common language of choice.

Unfortunately the signs someone cares about you can also be displayed in a when caring for a friend. Friends show interest can get jealous and even show displays of affection. People usually aren't going to keep you around simply for entertainment. People are not that different when it comes to showing signs of romantic interest and so those are the things you should look out for because some who likes you as a friend will also give you signs they like you as a friend because romantic partners are also friends. Bottom line the easiest way to find out is ask them it's really that easy. You can save a lot of time just be okay with the fact that they may not be sure how to interpret what kind of feelings they have for you.

There are other tell tale signs when a woman is interested vs. when she is friendzoning. You and I have developed radar for this but many younger guys don’t.

[omnivert]

After asking her, you will realize, and thats only thing you should do.

Or,
She is happy to be single and want you as future backup, and I must say that can be counted.

Or,
She doesn't want to talk to you at late night, remember dont do anything after 2 am.

Or,
If you send her these emojis 😘😙😚☺️🤭🤗 or more she will reply wierdly, with a joke to set it aside.

Or,
Do a video call, Share her a sad story you had and wait for a honest reply, if its not similar like you feel then you will have your answer.


There are lots of way, but I am gonna end it here.

If she tells you about the guy she screwed the night before you are just a friend to her.

[Trevelyan88]

If you feel you are having to carry the conversation and she doesn't want to meet up, then she is just using you for entertainment.

[Slartybartfast]

If she doesn't tell you she wants a romantic relationship, she doesn't.

Pretty clearly.

[Jltakk]

Ah, yes, experienced this my whole life. If she constantly asks to hang out and its been going on forever, as in nothing has changed, no development, its clear. Of course you can also ask directly.

[XhmadRooz]

Please watch some YouTube videos instead asking question

[Iron_Man]

When she never hugged you, you don’t hold hands she doesn’t give you that look

[Kkstarzz96]

[TheSpaceGnome]
