I truly feel your pain TC, I know how bad it can feel. You did the right thing by telling her how you feel, though. Sometimes you've just gotta be firm. I was friendzoned a while back, bad. I felt so comfortable around this girl, I felt like I could talk to her about anything, she had great taste in music, she could always make me laugh, and so on and so forth. She was dating this guy I met a couple of times, complete tool, she deserved so much better, but I felt like if I said anything I would come off as jealous (which I was), so I kept my mouth shut for a little over a year. Finally this thing was eating up so much of my life that I couldn't take it any more. I called her up to meet me somewhere and poured my heart out to her. To which she responded, "But you're my best friend, I just don't think of you that way". Worst feeling in the world. We had a huge fight and I don't think I left home for 2 weeks. I stopped talking with her because I couldn't take that she didn't like me back. But probably 7 or 8 months later a mutual friend said she broke up with her tool boyfriend and wanted to talk to me. We got coffee one day and she told me how much she missed my company, so I told her that I missed her too, but I couldn't only be her friend, and if she didn't feel the same way about me then it was best we stayed away from each other. We went on a date a couple of days later and now it's been almost 10 months and it feels great. Moral of the story is, it's not impossible to be un-friendzoned, but you have to be upfront about what you want. It's painful spending time together if you know you guys can't be together, so if she's not into it, no matter how horrible it seems at the time, you gotta let her go.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]tl;dr The friend-zone is pretty much always the fault of the guy. They go into a relationship with a girl, expecting something more but never voicing that desire, and since the girl doesn't know, she just expects another friendship to blossom, and when those original feelings come to light, she doesn't want to destroy the friendship for them, or things just get weird and it all falls apart. And men do it to themselves. Trying to please a woman by changing yourself into everything she wants is the least successful way to start something more. If someone you like can't like you for who you are, they aren't worth the time. Then again, I learned this lesson through experience, and it really is the only way to learn it.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"][QUOTE="the_plan_man"]Just because it happened for you, doesn't mean it can happen for everybody. You probably possess things about yourself that are beneficial that other people probably don't possess. In short, you lucked out.the_plan_man
I'm definitely not the "there is a person for everyone" kind of guy, but the idea that someone's desirability directly correlates to their confidence and love for themselves (not narcissistic love mind you), and that increases the chances of finding someone who finds this person's traits attractive is exponentially increased compared to someone who wallows in self-pity, and hides themselves away (literally, and emotionally) from other people. Go back through my post history. For years I was just expecting a woman to fall out of the sky and into my lap (figuratively speaking of course >_>), but until I actually made my realization, gathered up the confidence (a fairly gradual process that wasn't very obvious to me when it was happening) and went out into the world (with a few rejections) did I actually find someone who was able to love me for me, not their expectations of me (and vice versa). And that love developed over time, and wasn't this "magical" happenstance that was heralded by the heavens when I was born. I didn't luck out at all. It has been a very rough ride for us (I just met get mother a week ago for the first time ._.) and our hard work and persistence is what has kept us together. We are both extremely stubborn people, which brings us to odds very often... but when we do mesh, it is what we both want the most in life. Love is not something that finds you and always works... it is something that requires you to make yourself wholly vulnerable physically, mentally and emotionally and work very hard to keep it from dying. If there is no patience or compromise, it is doomed to fail. No matter how much you "want" it to work. "Luck" has nothing to do with it.

Maybe one day you'll learn to put that emotional **** behind you. You're not in high school anymore, and it sounds like this is the first EVER successful relationship you've ever been in. The way you talk, I'd think you were ***damn Dan in Real Life. Hopefully, one day that girl'll break up with you, just to watch you cry like a baby. :twisted:

My thoughts on the matter:  scorch-62

I asked a friend out once and he turned me down which is a shame because I really liked him. A few weeks latter he starts babbling on about not being able to get a girl and hates getting put in the friend zone. He then told me how I'm lucky because guys tend to be easier, I really wanted to punch him in the face.

From my perspective, it seems a lot of people use the 'friend zone' as a psychological defense mechanism. ...I suppose a little explanation is in order: -man is attracted to female -female enjoys man's company (as people can do) but does not find said man sexually desirable -man finds this out (usually by female saying something to soften the blow...which is odd b/c he usually already 'knows' and doesn't want to admit it and forces the issue) -man has 2 choices 1. mentally admit that they are either not desirable sexually (in general) or to this particular person for which they do have those feelings -this will cause a great deal of mental stress 2. attribute the whole 'ordeal' to some other factor...that they have been 'friend zoned'...as opposed to admitting some inadequacy It is is easy to see why the later is often chosen -people often externalize the negative and internalize the positive (about one self) to protect their ego -it can also cause a great deal of cognitive dissonance to: a. have unrequited feelings b. think you are sexually desirable and have someone that likes you otherwise not think so Now there are always exceptions/variations where this might not be the case, but most of the time it seems to be pretty accurate

I don't know man, but sometimes you just gotta sit back and squeeze some boobies on the Millenium Falcon.Random WoW Guy in trade chat

I find this is applicable. Roll with the punches and move on.
