Yeah, I'm not a fan of it either. Honestly I'm a thousand times more likely to be interested in a guy who's my friend first. And if you're my friend and I'm not interested in you, it's not because you're my friend...Hildegard15 wrote:I hate the term friend zone.

Yes. This. Nobody is entitled to anybody else's affections (other than basic human respect/decency).benwyatt wrote:+1Hildegard15 wrote:I hate the term friend zone.

I think the friend zone is kind of a thing though, just not in the way that it's used. No one has an obligation to be attracted to you. If you make your desires known and they just want to be friends, you have the choice to be friends or to cut ties. If you choose to remain friends, you're putting yourself in the friend zone and, if you're truly a friend, you shouldn't make someone feel shitty for not wanting to bump uglies with you.

Yeah this is spot on. I think the friendzone delusion sometimes comes if the rejector says something like "I just value your friendship too much!" in an attempt to let the rejectee down easy, instead of being more up-front about it.whacka wrote:I think the friend zone can be a useful classification if people use it right. People who are rejected by their friends get mad and use it wrong and try to save face by saying "yeah she friendzoned me" as though the friendship was the cause of the rejection. Idk about anyone else but I would never reject a girl because she's my friend, but I have rejected girls who are friends for other reasons. So that I guess could be considered the friend zone - they're your friend but it's not going anywhere else. But when people add a connotation to "friendzone" that the friendship was the cause of the rejection, that's when it moves from reality to delusion.
Not even close. Although I'm a guy, she's gonna carry me through my seasonal depression where I don't feel like working out.

In my experience being in the "Friend Zone" occurs when you discover you like a close friend (or like someone then end up becoming close friends with them) and then are too scared to pursue anything romantic out of fear of ruining the friendship. Sometimes this fear only last a short time, but other times it can go on for months or years. I would argue that the Friend Zone is usually psychologically self-imposed by the Liker, and even happens without the Likee being aware that there is any "like" occurring.

Oh. I always know. Keep that in mind, boyz, if any of you decide to fall madly in love with me.Hildegard15 wrote:^Not true. I never know. I wish I could just walk around with a sign that says "If you like me, please say so explicitly to my face, because otherwise my insecurities will take over and I will assume I am your bro." Or if we could come up with a universal symbol that always meant romantic interest. Like baking someone brownies.barley wrote:
