Why Do Men Keep Putting Me in the Girlfriend-
Zone?
You know now it ls, right. ladies? you know a guy for a while. You hang out
Mth him. You do fun things with lrntoplay video games, watch movies. go
hiking. go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his
problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend.
But then. then comes the fateful moment where you tmd out that all this
time, he' s only seen you as a potential _ And then if you turn him
down- he may never speaked you again. This has happened to me time
alter time: I hit it off with a guy, and for all that I' been burned in the
past, I start to think that this one might actually care about me as a person-
And then he asks me on a date.
I tell him how much I enjoy his company. how much I value his friendship. I
tell him that I really want to be his friend and to continue hanging out with
him and talking about our favorite books or exploring new restaurants or
making fun of theatre productions. But he rejects me. He
doesn' t answer my calls or : if we' d been making plans to do
something before this fateful Incident. these plans mysteriously tall to
T his is my I never get around to seeing the Hunger
Glamors movie. Not to name any names. but thanks a let. Torn.) Later, when
I run into him at social events, our conversations are awkward and
rt. This is because the moment we met, he put me in the girlfiend-
zone, and now he can' t see me as friend material.
I must say thatl find tns really unfair- I mean. I' m a nice girl. t have a lot
to offer as a friend, like not Being a douchebag and stuff. But males
just don' t want to be friends with nice girls like me. They can' t help
it, I gue es; we just new they' re wired, biologically. Evolution
conditioned our male hominid ancestors to seek nice girls as
mates and fem friendship Bonds only with the other dudes that
they hunted mammoths with. We true! know this because I
studied hominids in my science class.
So what' s the answer"? Should I take up in an attempt to
appeal to the friendship centers of men' s primal ? Should I
keep making guy blends" and then prevent them tram making a move on
me by subtly undermining their '? Should ajust give up on
those manipulative, powerplaying. bastards once and for all? I
don' t know I mean. I' d really like to have a true friendship with a guy
someday. but it' s so hard to st and respect them when they never say
what they meatland you never know when you might be relegated to the

This happens to me all the time. And it really does suck, it makes me feel like he was only interested in me because he wanted to be my boyfriend, and now he's found out I'm not interested he thinks it's not worth even talking to me. I was talking to him because I thought he made an awesome friend and I loved the conversation. I know they'd need to work on getting over you, but it's like being dumped without the relationship and that's exactly what I would want to avoid. Just some thoughts.

interesting turn-around on this, but completely unrealistic.

Unrealistic? Not really :\ my best friend for five years suddenly told me he had feelings for me and refused to hang out or do anything when i gently told him i wasnt interested. its actuallly just as devastating as friend-zone because you suddenly lose this really great amazing friend and you arent entirely sure what you did wrong. never led him on or anything :\ he was my bro and i miss him

dunno if he ever comes on fj anymore but if youre reading this i miss my tartl

Agreed. Any guy who takes the time to do all that stuff with a girl just to get friendzoned isn't going to stop talking to her. He's going to keep at it and tear himself apart trying to win her over, it's kinda what us betas do.

If you encountered that same situation time and time again, isn't it time you wake the **** up and realize that most heterosexual men will be interested in you as a potential girlfriend? Why complain about a problem you know will be coming in the near future? Don't blame the men, since you already know they can't help it, blame yourself for not realizing that your are the common denominator in this scenario. Make it known from the start the you have no romantic interest in them otherwise, you just come off as a tease.

Well I think you're viewing relationships all wrong. If he makes a good friend, and you enjoy spending time with him (just him mind you, I didn't read any group activities in there), then what's the harm in giving it a go. You obviously think you're going to lose him anyway.

You get along with your same-gender friends, what's the harm in trying to date them?
User avatar #12 to #8 - wersand (05/31/2013) [-]
Some people do. I don't see anything wrong with it, I have developed a physical attraction for people of the same gender. But if feelings for someone develops should the person just ignore it?
#15 to #12 - justtocomment (06/01/2013) [-]
But what if the feelings AREN'T there? That's the point the OP was making here, she doesn't feel like that toward these guy friends. She's also sick of guys approaching like they want a friend, when they really just want her as a girlfriend.

You know, never even heard of friend zoning until I started browsing these sites, certainly never experienced it nor do I know anyone who has.

Just...treat people like people rather than based on gender and if you like someone, make your feelings known. We're the product of billions of years of reproduction fuelled evolution. It's not THAT hard.

It's a very interesting take. Consider, though, that a guy can have a lot of female friends and only pursue one as a potential girlfriend. Guys can have female friends too.

relationships should be a mutual feeling of any kind. whether you are both friends, **** buddies or madly in love; in any case the way you feel about the other person should be the same as the way they feel about you. if one person really loves the other and that person doesnt feel the same way, then there is bound to be some heartbreak somewhere down the road

u can make it known ur not interested and u can even be in a relationship with someone else the second that relationship ends all of a sudden all of ur friends suddenly feel the need to confess their love.. all of them all at once! when u just got out of a relationship and just want a second to be breath and have fun

>implying they didn't stop talking to you because they're sad and mad you dumped them
