CONTINUING FROM LAST THREAD I MADE....

Being stuck in the friend zone is a living hell for anybody, and I'm sure you have gone through it before, or at least WILL experience it. But I am here to ask the question: is it possible to escape it? And if so, how?

Here is my story, you can read it if you want, you don't have to, but anyway, here it goes. Anyway, I've known this girl and to be honest, I didn't like her when I first met her, but as time grew on, I got to know her better, and her personality made me find her a lot more attractive. Unfortunately, she had a boyfriend, that I didn't know about, when I was about to tell her, so I kept it off, and we remained friends. And over that time, we became very close, and I became one of her best friends, and I was even #1 on her myspace, and people said we should date, and as much as I wanted to, I just smiled and laughed (awkwardly). But here is when things begin to go downhill.

Basically, it went downhill in December, and she was having problems with her boyfriend. And basically, they're an on-and-off couple, and for me, that's really annoying, not to mention, I hate her boyfriend, he's one of those guys who's dated almost everyone in the school, and yeah, and he doesn't realize how lucky he is. As we are talking, she tells me the truth that they've been having sex. I'm not a prude about teenage sex, but in the situation that I am, I flip out and we get mad at each other, and crap like that, her telling me that I should've told her earlier and that we're just friends.

For a month, we don't talk, but after realizing how wrong I was, I talk to her, and slowly, but steadily, we're beginning our friendship again. It still feels awkward, but she admits that it doesn't feel awkward, but I don't know how it doesn't. I try to be a better person, and I was just barely accepting the fact about her and her boyfriend. Well, this past Wednesday, I turn 16, and as I'm blowing out my candles, I really didn't know what to wish for (I really don't believe in wishes) and I just reach for the skies and wish to be closer to her. Turns out, next day, they broke up, even though their year anniversary was 2 days previous to my birthday. Weirder thing is they broke up on my birthday. She told me herself that she is single, and I couldn't believe it. Now I find myself attracted to her, but don't know what to do. Are we still just friends or what?

I want to do something, because let me explain to you what I want to do. I want to give myself a birthday gift, a girlfriend. I'm 16, I've never kissed a girl, never made out with a girl, and never had a girlfriend. Before this month is over, I want to have a girlfriend I'm happy with, and I want it to be with her, but what do I do?

CONTINUED RIGHT HERE:

So I find out from one of my other friend that she's interested in some other guy, and she probably is not telling me since she thinks I've had former feelings for her, and while that's true in some ways, I still, obviously, have feelings for her. Of course, knowing her, she's still pissed off about her ex, and I dunno what to do? I wanna give up, but something inside me doesn't want to because it's been 16 years and I haven't gotten ANYTHING (from up there, a girlfriend or not even a kiss), but you know what I mean. What do I do?

Here was what my plan was: to take her to Forgetting Sarah Marshall (which is perfect, because it's getting pretty good reviews and it's about FORGETTING your ex and moving on) and making some kind of move after the film, that is, if the film works well, which, hopefully it should. And since that movie comes out in about 2 weeks, I would lay the "ground work" down before the 2 weeks ends....seriously what do I do? And the "ground work" that I want to lay down, I have no idea how to lay down. =/

Just remember that anything can happen...IN DREAMS.

I think you should just stick to PRETENDING that she is attracted to you, because that's as close as you're ever gonna get to it happening.

Haha, the words I said when I found out (which is why we stopped talking) =P And I was shocked since she's into so many church activities and stuff like that. APPARENTLY, they only did it once, and she said she thought it was immorale =/ but I don't know what to believe =P

first off. stop being so nice to her. i know she's amazing and that you care for her and only want her to be happy and to be with her, but you aren't going to change your friendzone status unless you change your attitude around her. tease her, treat her like any other person, and dont give her special attention (i.e. fawning)

second, flirt with her. if you dont know how to flirt, go read a guide on the internet or something. keep it distant though because you dont want it to turn into simple friendly playfulness.

and for the love of god stop talking to her so much over the internet, that only leads to friendzoning unless you're already dating. i know you didnt say you did, but i know you do. so stop it.

The thing is, I just can't change gears and start acting different all of a sudden, and the flirting things, seriously, HOW do you do it? The internet guides aren't making much sense =/

Really, this whole situation just reeks of every junior high school love triangle featured in every bad movie/tv show since 1983.

SHE IS NOT INTO YOU.

That's it. Get over it. You can't MAKE a girl become attracted to you.

oh, mrgeezer, i bet you always feel cool for pretending to be a "realist" :roll:
And stop posting as if you know the tc, and stop trying to break his spirit
For all you know, the girl could be effin in love with the TC, how would you know.
Thats right, you dont, so you make yourself just seem like a douchebag and make all your other points seem invalid when u pretend to be right.

Woah, thanks, but I dunno, maybe he's right? But like I said, something in me me just HAS to get it over with and TRY at least, I mean, it's been 16 years, the least I can do is make one attempt, but i don't want to mess up, but I just don't know what to do. =/

lol..."break his spirit?"

How do you think the guy is gonna feel after he's wasted 18 months trying to "win her over", and then finally realizes that he's spent so much time on his obsessive teenaged obsession that he's been overlooking lots of great girls who actually might have been interested in him.

But whatever, man. I don't care about the guy, I just gave him advice as a favour. He can spend the next 5 years stalking her as far as I care. I've said my piece, so you guys can go back to offering advice such as "you'll git the gurls if you stop being nice!"

Whatever. Not my concern. He can take my advice or not, doesn't affect me one bit.

I know, but I'm just one of those nervous types who, if not pushed, probably won't do it, I'm trying to keep my hopes up, and i know I have to act quick, otherwise she might make a move on some other guy in a desperate attempt to get over her ex. =/

How do you think the guy is gonna feel after he's wasted 18 months trying to "win her over", and then finally realizes that he's spent so much time on his obsessive teenaged obsession that he's been overlooking lots of great girls who actually might have been interested in him.

But whatever, man. I don't care about the guy, I just gave him advice as a favour. He can spend the next 5 years stalking her as far as I care. I've said my piece, so you guys can go back to offering advice such as "you'll git the gurls if you stop being nice!"

Whatever. Not my concern. He can take my advice or not, doesn't affect me one bit.

MrGeezer

No one is telling him to take 18 months, but why would he like a girl, then not do anything about it?
"overlooking lots of great girls who actually might have been interested in him."
Why does he owe THESE girls more attention than the one he already likes?
Why cant it be mutual?
I say, dont settle. Always look for who YOU want, not "She likes me? ....i guess shes okay, then"
No, #*$& that.

first off. stop being so nice to her. i know she's amazing and that you care for her and only want her to be happy and to be with her, but you aren't going to change your friendzone status unless you change your attitude around her. tease her, treat her like any other person, and dont give her special attention (i.e. fawning)

second, flirt with her. if you dont know how to flirt, go read a guide on the internet or something. keep it distant though because you dont want it to turn into simple friendly playfulness.

and for the love of god stop talking to her so much over the internet, that only leads to friendzoning unless you're already dating. i know you didnt say you did, but i know you do. so stop it.

RabidChocobo1

The thing is, I just can't change gears and start acting different all of a sudden, and the flirting things, seriously, HOW do you do it? The internet guides aren't making much sense =/


just...smile a lot more around her.

Or just forget about her.

Really, this whole situation just reeks of every junior high school love triangle featured in every bad movie/tv show since 1983.

SHE IS NOT INTO YOU.

That's it. Get over it. You can't MAKE a girl become attracted to you.

The unfortunate thing is that false lights can lead us farther into the darkness. A man stranded in the desert has to be able to distinguish between a mirage or a true oasis, lest he be led back into the desert.

There's nothing wrong with hope, but at some point you've got to come to grips with how realistic those hopes really are. And if they turn out to be a fool's hope, and they are leading you away from where you want to go, you've gotta get rid of them.

oh, mrgeezer, i bet you always feel cool for pretending to be a "realist" :roll:
And stop posting as if you know the tc, and stop trying to break his spirit
For all you know, the girl could be effin in love with the TC, how would you know.
Thats right, you dont, so you make yourself just seem like a douchebag and make all your other points seem invalid when u pretend to be right.

Woah, thanks, but I dunno, maybe he's right? But like I said, something in me me just HAS to get it over with and TRY at least, I mean, it's been 16 years, the least I can do is make one attempt, but i don't want to mess up, but I just don't know what to do. =/


True, but youd probably regret it more if u never try

I know, but I'm just one of those nervous types who, if not pushed, probably won't do it, I'm trying to keep my hopes up, and i know I have to act quick, otherwise she might make a move on some other guy in a desperate attempt to get over her ex. =/


Well, youre going to have to find some motivation. Try having a couple of friends constantly insult you until you make a move.
And, dont wait for the "best" opportunity, because those never come along.

Well, what does the TC have to lose? If he just decides to stay friends with her, THATS the mistake. You cant just ignore these feelings. So its either, ask her out, or just stop being her friend completely.

I know, which is why I'm going to take her to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and hopefully that movie works well, and I know I'm risking a GREAT friendship, but a day ago, I just realized that I have never risked anything this big, and to live a life without risks is a life not worth living. But her liking another guy, should I let this bring me down?

Why cant it be mutual?

RabidChocobo1

Um...maybe because it's NOT?

It's not as if she doesn't a;ready like and respect him. She just doesn't want to be in a romantic relationship with him.

And hell, she KNOWS him. So it's not exactly like he's gonna act different for a week and suddenly TRICK HER into thinking that he's a completely different guy.

That is honestly one of the most stupid things I've ever read.

Ever consider that there's an Option C? Be friends with her, but accept the fact that she's not interested in him?

Lol, i just realized, how ironic mrGeezer's statement was
How if you waste too much time on this girl, then you might miss all these other girls into you.
Its like she probly doesnt know you like her, and she likes this other guy T_T
But honestly, do you think you could be JUST friends with her? do you see you guys in the future just chillin normally? i mean, romantic feelings would get in the way of that, and its not like you can just throw away those feelings in exchange for platonic ones, right? As for her liking that other guy, just make a move before either of them do, is all i can say. Or...maybe talk her out of liking him, lol?

Come on, he's 16, do you think hes mature enough to be able to be JUST friends with her? How can you just ignore those feelings and still be able to even LOOK at her in the future? Do you think these feelings will just go away if you just ignore them for long enough? what the TC needs is CLOSURE
He probably thinks the girl likes him, so if theres even that chance, why not try it?

Depends how she treats you man, and like pridetwo said "Don't be so nice to her". Then she'll pay more attention to you because you're treating her differently. by the way that only works if she cares about you =(

Well after reading such a long post...:P this is what I have to offer as advice:

You're young, and you will have many other opportunites and possibilities as you gorw older, so don't sweat it.

She just broke up with her bf, you're her friend. Be a friend, not a rebound guy. You can be her friend and do as I suggest in the next paragraph.

As for your situation you can choose one of the following options: You either tell her how you feel and see what she says and then go from there. And if things don't work in your favor (that being you two joined together) atleast you gave it a shot (remember this: fortune favors the bold) and are not left wondering what could or could not have been. Second option is to get over it and move on. Which this option pretty much intertwines with the first option, but you could skip the first and go directly to this one and find someone else.

It's your choice and I wish you good luck. I hope I helped you in some small way.

You're already deep into the "Friendzone". Relationships don't work from that. Why can't some people here understand that? All you will end up doing is ruining a friendship and feeling even crappier in the end.
