Amanda makes a good point, If a person is IN the friend zone, and they try to cross the line, and are denied.
They can STAY friends, and be done. or they can leave and try with someone new.

We have all heard "Can't we just be friends?" which means "DO NOT CROSS"

Harry and Sally don't exist



(and it sucks)

It's all about respect. Trying to repeatedly cross the friend zone after being told not to is a breach of this respect.

IMO, only people who have interest that isn't being returned call it "the friend zone". Others just call it a friendship.

While that is possibly true. I have to wonder, if he is 'constantly in the presence of attractive women' why is he obsessing over the one girl who isn't interested?

Put it together: "99% of women in my experience". To generalize the entire gender by pulling an outrageous statistic out of the air is, well...outrageous.

That's the point at which the one who is stuck in the friendzone needs to grow a set and end the pseudo-friendship.

Either that, or be a man and respect the fact that a friendship is the most he'll get out of me.

I think it's silly to think that someone who is in the friend zone can get out by learning new rules or "game". Seriously...if they are your friend don't you think they will know what you are up to? And that you started acting differently all of the sudden?

Exactly. Game-playing doesn't work with me.
