Well as long as you're not a tramp who knows he loves you but you still flirt with him and sit on his lap all the time while you go out with all of his friends, have sex with them, then dump them; yet you will not go out with him or even try to make him happy. You know, unless you count being a huge tease to him non-stop and joke (but not actually joke) that you will NEVER go out with him. ^that is my friend ^^sorry I was venting

Damn that sucks :(. Mine goes like this....she wants a perfect guy she isn't a slut or anything but doesn't realize i'm perfect for her. She went out with 3 guys while she knew I liked her. It seems as if she doesn't care to give me a chance but we flirt a good amount.

But then I feel like shit because I don't have feelings for them. Eventually it won't work out.

No, that's illegal

No because then he will convince me to date him somehow and then we will end up having sex and then i will get pregnant and die.

Dude. This is me. My best guy friend has liked me for like three years. My friends who don't know him ask how the friendship works out...to be honest, I just don't think about it so it's not an issue for me. That sounds terrible but I mean what else am I supposed to do? Last year he asked me to his prom and I had to say no because even though we would've had a great time and I would've gone as just friends with any other guy, I didn't want him to take it the wrong way frown

Apparently a lot of people think it's ok to put people in the friend zone.

What are we supposed to do, date a guy we don't have feelings for?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

The keyword in Friend Zone is the word "friend." For example, there are girls I know and then there are girls that I am friends with. The girls I am friends with I have no romantic feelings towards and I'm almost positive that they only see me as a friend. There are girls I know, however, that I don't hang out with or talk to regularly unless I am currently pursuing them as a romantic partner. If a guy has feelings for you AND you know it AND you continue to be friends with him (talk to often, hang out, etc.), he might think that he still has a chance with you. Either come right out and say that you only like him as a friend or try to distance yourself from him so that he gets that you don't feel the same way towards him. If you don't, you're kind of leading him on. I hope I explained that clearly. I was really tired when I wrote this.

I know what you mean, but if it's a friend worth having/that you've been close with for a long time, it doesn't make sense to just drop them and ruin a friendship for one-sided feelings. It might hurt for the other person at first, but if the friendship is worthwhile it'll work out in the end. Btw, in case you're thing "zomg she haz no idea wat shes talkin bout dude"(which I don't think you are :P), my best guy friend used to like me...a lot. :P

You don't think it's kind of selfish to keep a guy as a friend when you know for a fact that he wants to be more than that? That being said, I'm glad it worked out for you and your friend.

You don't think it's a bit selfish for someone to throw away a friendship because they may have feelings? Obviously, there are two sides to every situation, haha. So I don't think this is going anyway :P.

I guess we're both kind of right. It's a messed up situation for everyone.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yeah, definitely.

Just be prepared to deal with the fact that they might not like you back (has happened with me twice; the first guy was nice about it, the second guy was like "oh...that's good to know...")
