How do you know if you're in someone's, or have placed someone in yours?
Is it really as bad as all the hype?
Can you get out and if so how?
How does someone end up in YOUR friend zone?
Do you currently have a 'friend' with whom you'd like to be more?

Maybe I just don't get it because I've never been in anyone's friend zone (or if I was it was with someone I didn't care about anyway so it made no difference )

There have been girls who I didn't want to be more than friends with who wanted more. Does that mean I put them in my friend zone?

It means you aren't getting any.

And soon discussions turn into advice - all the time and she or he starts nonchalantly telling you about the men/women they've dated and what type of person they are looking for and then goes into telling you about a date she had the other night with some guy....then you know you are in the friend zone.

That's a pretty darn good indicator! People don't talk about other men/women when they have romantic interest in the other person.

Friend zone: you're like a brother, a buddy, the one she won't flirt with because it would be "too weird".

Can you get out of it? Probably, but it's gonna take some major effort on your part to show her a different side of you - IF she has any attraction to you at all. That's the tricky part. If she was attracted, most likely you're not in the dreaded "zone".

Best way to avoid the friendzone - don't become the emotional tampon for her. If you're there, pack up and move along.

Pretty much what I was thinking. The friend zone is for the nice guy chumps with no game.

Honestly, you are overlooking the fact there just isn't a romantic chemistry there sometimes- game or no game.

I have slid in and been locked into the 'Friend zone' with a woman now for about 25 years now,
and even though I wish with all my heart and soul there would be more, I am (not happily, but still) content with the relationship.. She has been a great friend all these years.



I paraphrased it with this "A relationship with her, is like a great meal, just with no dessert"

This sounds more like unrequited love... I don't envy the next woman you're romantically involved with...
