The Friend Zone

The 3 dreaded words no guy likes to hear. Girls, are you conscious of guys you have put in 'the friend zone' and what this means? The thing is, do girls feel they have the same problems with guys of being stuck in a friend zone? I don't think they do and that only guys dislike this zone, am i wrong?

There is such a thing as a friend zone for girls. I should know, because I'm currently in it :frown:

I'm a weird person; I couldn't imagine going out with a guy until we'd been friends for a while.

Whereas with guys the friend zone applies when they've made a mistake (e.g acted too wussy, sent her flowers, told her he really likes her) with girls it tends to apply because the girl is wolf ugly/the guy is gay.

there will always be opportunities to just move out of the friend zone every now and again, but you must take it!

I think people get in the friend zone just by being comfortable with each other which is a bit crap. If guys 'make mistakes', they're less in the friend zone, more the weirdo zone. Yeh it's crap being in the friend zone but I reckon you can get out of it if you try.

Girls always tell me they can't go out with me cos I'm "their friend" and they want it to stay that way rather than go out with me then dump me and lose me.
Much as I appreciate their sparing of my feelings, I know this is utter codswallop. I have watched the same girls go out with other guys who have been their friends before, and know full well that the real reason is just they find me uggers. :frown:

The friend zone is very much in existence. But there are two levels, one is the occasionally seeing each other and getting quite well, more than an acquaintance but less than a good friend. And then there is the good friend area where you are very good friends are each others' confidantes to a degree etc etc.

I don't think being friends instantly and strictly excludes the chances of a relationship occurring. Indeed some people need to be quite good friends before they like the other person enough or begin to trust them. It is definitely easier in the first friend scenario as outlined above, in the second one, relationship are more rare but in my experience could last longer because of the deep connection that already exists.

The only way to get out of it is to break the rapport or comfort that you have already. The bigger friend they are or the longer you have known each other, the larger the break in rapport needs to be.

One typical example of a break in rapport is having zero contact with someone for a period of time.

As others have said, yes, the friend zone exists for girls... And it sucks.
I don't know if I think you can get out, because I've known people it has worked for, and others it hasn't.
Overall it sucks as much as it's good, I guess... I mean, who doesn't want friends?

The friend zone is just another way of saying ' i think you are a nice person, but i don't feel sexually attracted to you'.

We all know sexual attraction is a funny tihng, it changes too so who knows when you will be out the 'friend zone'.

hmmm i think that if your mates with someone of the opposite sex, the chances are that 1 of the 2 wants to get into the others pants.
so i think that girls just have the same problems as male.
and if your looking both the people have the same feelings :smile:
