Little more detail.. I mean for someone you've known a long time, & they're there for you whenever you need them, supports you, & opens up their home to you. but don't necessarily initiate conversation or go out unless it's a group setting.

I do. Ever sense I was falsely accused by a female friend I don't trust female friends. After being cheated on in 3/4 of my relationships I don't trust dateable women. I don't have female friends and I prefer my life that way.

The smart ones avoid friendships with them altogether.

Yea cause it's known there's no way out of the friendzone

Yes, because once you're in the friend zone, it's over

It's not just friends anymore once one has feelings

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope. Guys have friends they like
