What are some signs a guy has friend zoned you without explicitly saying he's friend zoned you?

[Anonymous]

I'm also interested to know how a guy would friend zone someone through text. Be brutal

[WriterDreams]

I'm in a tricky spot myself with this one but I'd say if he has friend zoned you, then there would be no cuddling for hours- certainly no hugging your chest to his croch for three quarters of an hour. No hugging you closer to him when you go in for a friends hug goodbye, no repeat hugs that it takes an hour to say goodnight. No tickling, no shearing romantically of food, no texting and calling instantly, no unable to help himself touching you like rubbing your neck, back, arms hugging or holding your hand as you walk. No spending all of his time with you to the point he can't get it on with another because he's always with you. No grabbing your hand and brushing it over his beard (or anywhere else for that matter) no hugging you from behind while cooking tea or doing dishes just because he was looking at you from the couch and couldn't help himself. No sense of living together even if you have your own place. No... well I'm sure you get the idea.

I might be wrong as I'm no expert in men and mine is vastly complex and nothing he does is like most men.

However I would say if your guy is doing any of those above then at best I'd say he is not sure if he wants you as more or just a friend and the best you can do is give it time or walk. Your choice.

Good luck.

.. and any man that says you are fat is a giant duchbag that won't be that good in bed anyway he'll just think he is. They are not worth your time deary. Also, 😉 I know for a fact many men like women with meat on their bones.

An attractive man will sleep with you.
Bed you. PUMP & DUMP YOU

Basically he’ll still give you sex, but not give you commitment and relationship.

(That’s a man’s friendzone)

Aren’t you in your 20’s? Shouldn’t you know this already? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also if you as a woman give a man sex quickly or too soon. He will think you do this to EVERY MAN. Even undesirable average Toms.

So then he sees you as only a GOOD TIME. Aka; you get friend-zoned.

You; being a Friends-With-Benefits.
IS A FRIEND-ZONE.

Here are a few signs:

He's calling you a "good/great/amazing friend" often, especially a clear sign when it feels forced.

Rarely inviting you to intimidate settings or always surounded by other friends.

Making an effort not to reciprocate your teases/hints/flirts.

He avoids physical contact or doesn't respond to it at all.

His compliments feel empty and his remarks or answers to your questions feel like he put little thought behind them.

He treats you like a dude.

He appears not very attentive.

[coachTanthony]

If you are so confused that you are asking this question then he doesn't like you like you would want him too and there isn't anything you can do to change it.

I’ve friend zoned some of my male friends. It’s either they aren’t my type or I’m afraid that relationship wouldn’t last and that would ruin the friend group. And I know one wouldn’t last because whenever I’m with him after awhile he just gets on my nerves! Love the guy like a brother, but not my type and even my friends that know both of us say that wouldn’t work out. Plus better being friends then actually in a relationship and end up breaking his heart and not talking ever again.

• He calls you bruh, bro, mate, buddy, sis, fam
• He introduces you to the girl of his dreams/girlfriend
• He hangs with you with others never alone with you and if alone, nothing happens
• He treats you like one of the boys or worse a sibling
• He tells you about his crush 😻 and even asks you if you think they’d make a great couple 🤕

Though text it's all up to your head because you'll have to guess. Text is a horrible medium to guess one's feelings. I'm usually very terse and dry in texting because... I don't like texting. So it will probably look like I'm not too enthusiastic about talking to someone unless she asks directly. Then IRL I am very open with feelings and affectionate, it's obvious if I like someone and I have no trouble showing it.

Isn’t it funny that just a few short years ago that feminists including several women on GaG were all claiming a brainless slogan that “the friéndzone doesn’t exist”?

[genericname85]

don't go into this rabbit hole. figure out if he likes you asap and if not, move on. don't ask us to be brutal. we know nothing. you gotta go the brutal step of asking him out.

[Unit1]

He rejects you advancing on him. Or he denies progressing the relationship further into the romantic aspect when you are trying to do just that.

[Usernamesuck]

I don’t know, don’t all guy friends always want more?

[Ryfyle]

Not really.

[SirJohn42]

Well im usually honest up front. I yry not to hurt her. But I say were just friends thats the way I want it.
I try not to lead her on. Im a nice guy.

[Count_de_Monte_Volo]

Not wanting to lead you on which means no smiling, no discussing romance.

[EaterPeter]

Just the way women try to scope the prospect guys do that too. If he is very co. fortable around you then you're friend zoned or he is an arse or it can be some other legit reasons too

[Ryfyle]

Physically impossible, the Friend zone doesn't exist for women.

[EricSummer]

Exactly. In these things the genders are simply not the same.

[stoicity]

If you know you know. If you're asking this, you are probably friend zoned.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

He hasn't tried to fuck you yet

[WanderingLoveWizard]

And he never will because you're ugly and fat

[WriterDreams]

That is cruel and uncalled for. To anyone.

[boggboss]

Keeps things friendly

[Asker]

Soooo brutal

[boggboss]

That would seem pretty obvious tho no

[Part2603]

The "platonic" might come up.

[imawfulatusernames]

Friendzone doesn’t exist my girly

[boobliker]

thumbs up and a cup of tea
