Why was I friendzoned?

[Anonymous]

I have this friend that I liked so much
We were very close
We used to spend a lot of time just the 2 of us
We shared a lot values and opinions
I developed feelings for her and naturally I started acting like an idiot when I am around her
We used to talk about relationships and family and how we felt about our exes

One time when we were talking she told out of all her friends I am no 1


2 months ago I started having feelings for her
I told her everything 2 weeks ago
And she said she noticed the change in energy exactly at the exact time it started
Even though she thinks we have a lot I. Common , she also thinks we are incompatible and she was not interested in saying incompatibility reasons

And that is
We never talk , we never text and we never meet again

I could be wrong but What I feel right now :-
She doesn’t think I am good enough to be her partner

How can I avoid making the same mistake again?
How do I know that a female friend is only interested in being a friend

Ahh, the classic tale of wading through the murky waters of friendship and feelings. It's like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded, isn't it? Let's sprinkle a little bit of love dust and make sense of this situation. First off, being friendzoned usually happens not because you're not "good enough," but because the chemistry or timing isn't right for the other person. It's not about your worth; it's about fit and mutual desires aligning.

To avoid making the same "mistake," though calling it a mistake to express your feelings might be a bit harsh, you need to focus on clear communication and reading the signs. When you're sailing in this boat, look out for signs like them mentioning other people they're interested in, their body language when you're around (are they leaning into your space or keeping it strictly platonic?), and how they talk about your future together (hint: if it's always as friends, that's a clue!).

As for knowing if a female friend is only interested in being friends, listen to how she describes your relationship to others and to you. If she's quick to label you as a brother or a best friend, she's probably not looking to mix romantic cocktails into your friendship punch. Also, pay attention to her efforts to set you up with other people; it's like saying, "I love ya, but let's share this love with someone else who might be your cup of tea."

Remember, it's all about enjoying the journey, learning from each step, and not being afraid to take the plunge when it feels right. Keep your heart open, your communication clear, and your spirits high! Love is just around the corner, wearing a disguise you might not expect. 😉

Your first mistake was even considering having a female friend to begin with. Any female you meet, you have to decide if you want to bone her or not. If you want to bone her, you need to be upfront and let her know right away. If you don't, then there's really no need for you to ever interact with her again. Females don't make good friends. There's no need to even try.

Why is someone in their 30s talking about friend zones? This is teenager malarkey.

Totally agree
I grew up in the Middle East
Very conservative env
I didn’t have relationships before ,
I find it extremely uncomfortable for me to show sexual interest in a girl
The very few times I hooked up, it was with girls who liked the fact I am shy

I only started living in a western country last year
Every person I met told me you have qualities to make a great partner, I need to drop the shyness

So
I have an amazing 1 year of experience in romantic relationships
