Why he can't call me properly?

[Anonymous]

Am i being friendzone? He never call me by my name. Adding to that, he sometimes jokingly call me “boss” and say im his boss. But then sometimes he will give me nickname like “cheese burger”.. And out of everything, he will just call me friend. Im lost

(We are just student by the way)

Friendzone is a lie. Either someone is into you or they aren't. The reason it's a lie that never dies is because there is a certain version of romantic interaction which is very close to that; That is when one person has been attracted and shown interest strongly to someone whos disinterested, and they have adapted their position to one of interest when its too late and the first person has well moved on. It takes decades to occur, or it takes them finding a partner that didn't turn down their immediate romantic interest (or even one who appeared to accept them out the gate).

The most common wrong deployment of 'friendzone' is when one person is heavily romantically interested in another, has explained to the second person and the second person is not at all interested. there's also the version, where the second person IS interested, but appears disinterested due to a certain fear of long term rejection.

So, forget about "Friendzone" and don't bother trying to read into his behaviour. Just tell him in no uncertain terms you think he's hot (or however you find him) and ask him out for a date (making it clear its a romantic ask). He will either be into you and accept, or he won't be and turn you down. It's that simple.

If he does something weird like turning you down with some opener for that to change in the future RUN, RUN FAST! That means he's not into you but he's unsure about his romantic future and wants to keep you on a hot plate incase he changes his mind, don't be that person.

Good luck.

Why do you stay with someone who can't respond to the smallest request?
