Friend Zone

This is just for plain curiosty reasons, but how many times have you entered the "Friend Zone". i.e. You meet a girl/boy you like, after talking to them for ages you decide that you really like them, but you wait too long to ask them out and get stuck as just friends.

Its happened to me a few times, and one just every resently :frown:

. She was really cool as well, we had so much in common.

I fear it has happened to me recently, yes. There are moments when I am given hope but then I am put through a lengthy chat about handbags or some such mundane topic (which she would, I expect, only discuss with friends!). Is there any way in which one can pull the situation back? Frankly I think it's silly that people can become friends to such an extent that nothing else is on the cards. Maybe I should just tell her.

Anyway - sorry about the anonymity, I have my reasons (ie. people I know who might read this who I'd rather didn't!)

Can't.

She told me yesterday on the bus (before whispering to me to give my voice down as she doesn't want her friends to know yet) that two guys asked for her number. She went bright red as she said this and proceeded to say that she got really embrassed by it. I reminded her that when I asked for her number a while back she didn't turn red then, but she tapped me on the arm and said "But you're a different kettle of fish".

Translation = "We're just very good friends".

EDIT: BTW, why are you on my buddy list? Who did you use to be?

The trick to not entering the friend zone is to be caring and compassionate as a friend, but not to establish an emotional connection... that way there is always room to move into the 'more than friends' zone :wink:

The fact that she said "you're a different kettle of fish" sort of means that she isn't interested in me in that way.

And because of that, I don't want to ruin what friendship we've achieved in the past few months

Well i currently want to "make" (lol) a guy mate interested in me in other ways, and it is hard but hopefully will work! If ur positive she wouldnt want a relationship it will be hard being "just friends" if u know that u want more.

Not really as I flirt with all my female mates, whether I fancy them or not. And I do find many of my female mates attractive, but we all just harmlessly flirt with each other all the time.

Its what life is like in my town.

Yes.

It hurts and I regret my foolish behaviour.
