Search Results: friend zone relationship

Just to clarify, I'm in a happy relationship and I'm not whining about the friend-zone. I'm just trying to explain to women the way guys think about it because it seems that many women can't understand why guys feel frustrated about the whole thing.

I just read a take on the friend-zone where a girl who does understand basically told guys that if they don't like the friend-zone that they should leave, that they aren't obligated to stay. This is what I always suggest myself, and it's what I've always done in the same situation.

Usually, many women will ask "what's wrong with just being friends? Friendship is awesome, you should be glad to have another friend".

I think that the equivalent to the friend-zone for a woman would be the "fuck-buddy-zone". You want a relationship, and you meet a guy you really like, and you see him as boyfriend material. But when it comes to progressing towards a relationship, he just wants to be fuck buddies.

Sometimes, just as with the friend-zone thing, people are fine with that. But a lot of the time it causes frustration, and the idea that he doesn't see you as "good enough" for a relationship.

I think this is where a lot of the frustration of certain guys comes from - the idea that the girl is saying that he isn't good enough.

Guys, would you agree?

Ladies, I know most guys usually dread the "friend zone" and want to avoid it at all costs. Generally I dont feel that way because if I really like someone, I want them to at least be somewhere in my life. Anyways, would you rather date one of your guy friends, or start a relationship with someone who you didn't really know before?
