NEVER ACCEPT THE FRIEND ZONE
So you met this hot girl and made your moves and she decided to friendzone you.
You are thinking about and it and now wondering why. "Am I not good enough for her" You think that you will eventually become close friends with her and then finally get the chance to hook up with her? NOPE.
If you offered a romantic interest in her and she rejected then that means she is letting you know that she is not sexually attracted to you. By you accepting these terms of being friends and friends only you have created a dynamic in the relationship. You are prostituting your feelings and doing yourself a disservice. You are disrespecting yourself and your feelings. You are acting like a beta male.
If she friend zoned you.. the best thing you can do is throw your cards on the tables and make it clear that is what you want and nothing less. If she rejects you then you respectfully go no contact. You need to stick by what you do here. If you go back then you are just another fuckboy in her book. She might just come back after a while... (it's happened to me before). But again.. you need to stick to what you say and be a man about it. Don't go on a rampage and try and make her jealous and interested in you with subtle little moves. Girls easily notice these things. Just man up and walk away..disappear. The strongest negotiating position in a relationship is the ability to walk away and mean it.
You need to let her know and make it clear that you are not interested in just being friends. If you accept this invitation as friends she will lose even more attraction towards you and eventually resent you. She will not respect you because you are not respecting yourself.
By doing the above you are acting like a man that is worthy of value. You had the balls to approach this woman and throw all your cards on the table. She rejected you but you still had the balls which makes you more attractive than the timid guy who keeps to himself. Then after she rejected you walked away with pride and shrugged it off like nothing. You respected yourself and knew your value and clearly displayed that you have value to her by your actions.
I guarantee you that she will respect you for this and might just hit you up when you least expect it. She might just think wow this guy must have 10 others girls to go to if he just dropped me like that. Now you have switched the dynamic on her. See how that works?
It's not the end of the world guys. Why waste your time and constantly get your ego crushed by a girl who doesn't want you when there are so many other beautiful women out there? You can have so much more fun in a relationship when the women is attracted to you and all over you. Some of the most attractive people get friend zoned.. don't take it personal. Be a champ at taking rejection. Be willing to take the hits. We are all going to make it bros!
Don't be this guy.

FUCK THIS MYTAKE! What about me! I been friend zone but I actually like the person to stay friends! THIS IS JUST BULLOCKS!
Yep, actually, I had two guys friend zone me at different points in my 20s. I didn't drop the nascent friendship and my attraction to them disappeared over time, as we became better friends and I got involved with other guys. I'd actually say that these 2 guys turned out to be two of the best guy friends I have ever had, because I knew they weren't interested, so I never had to worry about ulterior motives on their parts. With one guy, I give him advice about the women he's dating and he gives me advice about guys I am involved with.
@abacaxi84 Aww! I am in that stage where I am trying to get over it. So yeah! Thanks!
Cry me a fucking river. -_-.
Why, cause I’ll never be that guy in the picture that’s way.
*why
Do you think that this can apply to me being friend zoned by a guy? He did that to me a week ago Thursday. I decided on my own to disappear, then he texted me last Tuesday to tell me to expect a gift on Thursday. I kept it simple and basically just said okay.
I then decided I would disappear once I got the gift and sent a nice thanks. Well, he was thrilled to hear how happy I was. I cut the conversation when he made a dumb comment. He just replied with 'goodnight, enjoy your gift to the fullest!!!'
Am I doing the right thing by just off and disappearing like that from someone I practically fell in love with who friend zoned me?
Yeah I mean you are just going to get hurt. Doesn't matter if it's a girl or guy.. I just made it the content applicable to men because they are usually the ones who get friend zoned. I think you need to cut him off if he is teasing you like that.
You are. Why prolong the hurt?
@Marinepilot and @tony72722 Thank you for your advice. He and I have known each other for four years and he always said we were friends, but I was hoping for more, especially cause at times we get very close and then he pulls away saying he doesn't want to screw up anything between us because he loves our friendship and the last time we were together he explained he absolutely loves our texts and has an affection for me, but he doesn't ever want a girlfriend anymore because he's afraid of screwing up. Not sure what having an affection for me means, but it sounded nice. He often uses 'darling' and 'babe' or 'baby' with me and makes me feel like there's more there and when it seems like he's really falling for me, bam, he pulls the we have to stop hanging out so much but I want us to still be friends. Uuuugh :-/
You are absolutely dead on about having a solid negotiating position in walking away firmly. You can't be like the Republican establishment and promise to never shut down the government. Boom, you just lost your leverage.
Great take!! Lol loved it.
In b4 gaggers discuss wolves lol
Yeah I see your point. It's better to just walk away than stay there pretending to be into a situation you're not into. It's quite simple. The healthy thing is to be around people who have the same feelings towards you, whether is only friendship or romantically. The moment you're thinking of a person in other way, and the other doesn't sees you like that, you are at a loss.
Not sure why some girls get pissed when you say this, since it can apply to women too. It's only logical.
I've been there as well, and I I eventually realized why the hell am I allowing to have a delicious steak in front of me, where my hands are tied? You put yourself in the friend zone, not the girl. The girl indicated she was uninterested, what makes you think she wants you to pretend being a "friend", when she knows you're hot for her? They want you to walk away while she's thinking how to get the guy she wants. Do yourself a favor too and do it.
Thanks for the laugh. lmao hahahaahaha what a load of crap. If your not getting her pants off you don't want nothing to do with her. Well it's your loss.
You're missing the point of my take entirely. It's not just sexual.
Sounds like it from where I am. If I just want you as a friend you don't want anything to do with me.
You're right I don't.
@Marinepilot Your loss then.
Not hardly.
@Marinepilot Lollll. Salty ass devil dog you.
Semper fi ! Do or die !
he is right you know... it does work
So a woman doesn't have a use unless she wants to fuck you?
this is completely wrong. If I friend zoned a guy and he walked away completely I would lose so much respect for him. seriously I would call him a jerk. I would never develop romantic feelings for him again. I guarantee if the guy sticks around to still be friends there's a way higher chance that I could still develop feelings. walking away makes you look like a self entitled jerk and I would block you out of my life anyway. it shows that you don't even value the friendship. women are not entitled to give a man anything. we have the right to not be interested.
You're 16. . . . The emotion you get when somebody doesn't want to be your friend is strong, so you have all of this rationalization ready for how you'd lose respect for him and never want to be friends or anything with him again. The MOMENT you see him with another girl , MARK MY WORDS. You will start seeing him differently and want him.
SO MUCH THIS. Women suck as friends anyway, if she isn't DTF just bounce. It's a numbers game, just keep mining and you'll strike gold.
A real man never stay in a friend zone if staying in a friend zone isn't what he wants since the beginning. If a girl friend zoned you, then just stop talking to that girl. That's simple. You asked that girl to be your girl friend and she said no. She clearly tells that she isn't interested in you and she doesn't want you. Move on. Don't waste more time with that girl.
Logically this sounds great, but there's too many examples of the opposite happening. It wouldn't be hard to find a married couple who started out in the friendzone, for years even. Talk to a few people that have been married for several years and you'll probably find one that said "I didn't like him/her and was never attracted to them sexually" but they're happily married. So obviously the friendzone does work.
The friendzone doesn't exist. What is so hard about just being friends anyway?
Lol of course this got featured. Grade A click bait.
That is an interesting angle I hadn't thought of. If you settle as friends she might than assume that is all you could ever want.
Because I don't want to waste my time. Mind blown.
Exactly , though i think if you're getting constantly friend zoned you need to take a look at yourself rather than just moving to the next one
@pavlove , what do you think is the reason a guy could get constantly friendzoned, even by girls who have at least some common interests, are able to talk to well, and claim to enjoy his company?
@TheSkaFish i think by the way he approaches the situations and what he sub-communicates to the girl he's trying to "woo" as it were. yes, it's best not to be overly direct in certain situations, but i don't think it should ever be so much so that he's not making his attraction at least hinted at or teased a bit.
Yeah, I definitely messed up a few softball-tosses when it came to teasing a girl about my attraction to her. That was my fault. I had the bad luck of meeting girls I liked before I really understood how to tease sexually, in conversation. I accidentally gave off a prudish vibe. The thing is, it's true that I think modern society is overly sexualized. But at the same time I'm not Ned Flanders either. I'm not looking for a girl to date so we can sit on opposite ends of a couch and twiddle our thumbs. So I guess I have to keep an eye out for opportunities to tease. Problem is... the only girls I want are long gone. Guess I'd better get comfy!
The "friend zone" exists because so many men are pussies about asking out girls in whom they are interested. Instead they PRETEND that they want to be friends when really they just want to get in her pants. Then they become assholes when she doesn't see "her friend" romantically. Never made sense to me.
My tip is, never be friends with a girl you're attracted to.
If you develop feelings for a girl friend and they aren't reciprocated, it's best to move on without her.
Friends aren't meant to be seen in a sexual way.
