Friend zone means you have interest in him/her romantically but you are acting as her platonic friend. This is usually due to fear of rejection so you are afraid to ask them out. If you’re interested, just ask them out. If they say yes, great. If they say no, then back off and stop texting/calling them, find other people. Either way, you’re no longer in the friend zone.

I still had this "friend" on my social media so she could see everything about my life. months before my wedding she messaged me saying that I made her depressed for ghosting her and on my wedding day she messaged me with a "happy for you" and then blocked me hah!

[@simonandrade8635]

Good Job, Tripp this is a very hard subject in dating. I really struggled in this area about two years ago with someone who I really liked who I would flirt with and give attention to while she was in a really toxic relationship. I would get some strong flirtatious tension from her at really convenient times when she would be out of the relationship. What I mean by tension is long prolonged eye contact smiling at one another, imitate physical touch like her squeezing my bicep or stroking my back, and overall making an attempt to get my attention because you're right attention can be really addicting. The biggest mistake I made was holding back and not speaking how I was feeling about it and when things came out on the social circle she got pissed and we cut each other off. As much as I can say what I experienced was real, it wasn't real genuine attraction and all it caused was me getting hurt and had to go through counseling to rebuild from that experience. What I have learned from this experience is as men you have to be intentional of what you want from a girl and be masculine with the risk of being rejected. Men go into the friend zone because they are afraid communication and unapologetic masculinity will offend a girl who they treat like a friend. Do not be a safety net for a girl who just likes your attention but doesn't actually want to be romantically invested in you.

I like how this dude likes to put all of the blame on the man. I'll go as far as saying men put themselves in the friend zone but women keep them there. Ladies if there's a dude that you absolutely know is in love with you but he's too afraid to say it just tell him you're not interested and let him move on. Keeping him around as your little pet is cruel.

I agree with you. Having a circle of women, makes you more confident, that guy that gets women, and they get you! I talk to some women I am not fully attracted to attending cultural events, talking about business ideas, current events, movies, books. I do know they dig me more than I dig her, but I don't mind the attention and the conversations are also interesting. You also get to ask them specific questions about what makes them tick in a purely platonic way. You should have lovers, friends, acquaintances, business partners who are women to build your self identity as true lover of women! Once a woman gets the vibe you just enjoy her as a woman for the sake of her just being woman (without manipulative sexual intent)...watch out!!!

I know most of your viewer are in the process of learning, however more experience guys has no problem just. Being in agreement to a friendship but only the way she defines it.

More mature people accept a friendship but a distant one while they continue running their lives normally not limiting themselves at all. No initiating contacts and always avoiding encounters.

Seeing people in the "friend zone" is dating coaches bread and butter. That along with people who were dumbed and in no-contact. They make it out to be a horrible thing but in reality it often ends up being a good thing. Often the "friend zone" is a place where you are put because someone really likes you a lot but might feel intimidated or is trying to build something special with you before moving to a relationship. Especially people who were hurt badly in the past. But it's not a place you can stay forever. Eventually you need to make your feelings clear and if you don't want just friendship you ether need to walk away which is actually quite attractive to women, or just be content in the friendship. But it's certainly not the horrific place these youtube dating gurus make it out to me. Often it is but often it isn't. I was put in the friendzone by a woman who was really hurt from a previous relationship. She just wanted to know she could trust me and get to know me. I sort of sensed this however. After around 8 months I asked to move things passed friendship and she agreed. Still seeing one another romantically 4 months later.

[@artbymiwsher]

@@Quixote1818 I agree with your take on it. What I didn't like about the video was the constant harping on about guys supposedly being in the friend zone for the sole reason that they don't express their feelings for their friend - I think that's unlikely to be true. I believe lots of guys (or girls, for that matter) who are in this situation do express how they feel but the sentiment unfortunately often isn't shared by the other person. As you said, they can then choose to accept this and move on or stay but as friends.

[@StrangeDisposition]

I am a girl in the reverse situation. I guess I friend zoned someone and friend zoned myself in the hopes he wouldn’t stay a friend. This video is good advice that guys have to get themselves out of the friend zone. In my case I won’t make the first move because I am afraid of rejection but it would allow me to move on. Other girls are smart and will make a move because they don’t want to keep wasting their time. So telling the other person you like them will lead to necessary rejection or reward. Not me I am going to keep wasting my time until someone else comes along.

Then I start talking to other girls in front of the friendzone girl. Ik my next girl will friendzone me, so I will use them and I have no remorse, i become fake towards them, making them think I like them, but in reality i accept the friendzone and move on, getting all the friend perks, when they start liking me, then i ignore and block bc im scared to have something with this girl.

Because you want the friendship and he does not. A relationship only works if both parties are in agreement about the terms of the relationship. If you were to start dating this guy even though you don't want to, it won't work. This guy wants to be dating you, not merely a platonic friendship so the friendship won't work. Do him a favor and cut him loose. You may be benefitting from the friendship but it is likely making him resentful of you. Not everyone can be just friends.

[@simonandrade8635]

I think its because you are allowing yourself to be emotionally intimate with this guy. I get your intention may just be communicating him as a brother but in my opinion guys and girls should not be just "friends." When two so called friends make effort to hang out talk and overall just enjoy each others company that actually is an intimate connection and our soul really has a response to it. Personally girls who I just consider friends I'll just make an effort to see them at social events, small talks if I run into them, and not texting them or try to hang out with them unless alone I'm interested. Reason is because I do not desire to be close to a girl if she's not interested in me or I'm not interested in her becoming close to someone in the opposite sex always builds feelings over time.

Please make me understand this: Sexual Tension on a foundational level lacks everything friendship provides. Maybe men are looking for sustainability. Women want sexual tension during the early phases of the encounter. But as the relationship matures, they want their partner to be trustworthy, decent, nice, a friend and someone whom they can rely on. They find all that in a friend. Men on the other hand want their partner to be trustworthy, decent, nice, a friend and someone they can rely and sexual tension on a foundational level is none of any of that. Either women will date the wrong men, or the man will live a lie in order to show things work, or everything falls apart. Sexual Tension can't last forever. Virtues do. Women need to realise that. That's why marriages don't work.
