So now you're a player (but without anyone to play with), huh?

I noticed you didn't have an answer for my question. Actually, I can play at being a friend and examining the friend zone with chicks; whenever they are not doing me the most for me to take them seriously about wanting a relationship with me.

You seem to put money on dating. Dating is more than going to dinner, going to the movies, etc.

BTW, You DON'T play at being a friend. Either you are or you're not.

Great post! Exactly daniel...either you are or you're not a friend. Funny how those who "play" at something, scream the loudest when they are "played" in return! In other words, it's all fun and games, until you get beaten at your own game!

I agree with you to a certain extent, but even getting around in a vehicle usually requires money.

I also agree with you concerning playing games for friendship and relationships; but sometimes, by playing at something long enough it can become a habit. And we have all heard of the saying that practice makes perfect.

How do you get "beaten" by playing at being a friend or putting women in the friend zone? In my opinion, you can either get better or not depending on your habit and attitude.

In my opinion, getting "beaten" by playing at being a friend is like committing fraud with unemployment compensation; it requires a work ethic and labor input to the economy. Is a person worse off with a work ethic and providing labor input to the economy, even if it "started out" as a form of fraud?

By "playing" at being a friend, date, etc. will just get you where you are now---NOWHERE.

If you feel you have something in common with 35 year old TVSG then why don't you DM him and commiserate with him first hand instead of childishly hijacking and repeating yourself over and over again.

STT is correct. You have hijacked every thread on the Relationship forum with tales of elementary love woes. We are ALL adults and do not care to hear or talk about what happened to our loves in elementary school.

I know that you will argue that you are only 19 y.o. and the episodes are still so fresh in your mind and didn't happen too long ago for you. But we are TIRED of reading about your antics.

Can I give you a friendly tip? Listen. Listen to what others are saying about friendships, love, relationships, etc. and heed their advice for your own life.

You and others in your little cliche here are self-absorbed, self-centered, shallow little boys that need to LISTEN and read about relationships, friendships or self help books. Really I'm saying this in a kind way and I hope you take this advise and can make your life everything you want it to be.

But STOP blaming the women/girls who, in your mind, are at fault!! Dig deep within yourself and learn about yourself to become a better person and to have healthy relationships. Don't always think it is about YOU. Give and you shall get.

Ok, I know this advice for CD, Felix, Daniel and others might go over their heads and that's why they are what they are but I hope not for their sake.

Also, I have decided not to post directly to any of you anymore because it is even, for me, more frustrating to deal with the little cliche then to TVSG. Is that possible???

Also, have you noticed that TVSG has not posted in a couple of days. You have taken his thunder. Give it back to him.

Have a nice day!

My "beaten" comment wasn't directed at "putting women in the friend zone". It was directed at those who "play" at relationships in general and get "beaten" at their own game. As a wise poster just said, people need to look deeply into themselves, their nature, their behaviors, evaluate themselves carefully, as if from someone else's eyes. Evaluate yourself as carefully as you might evaluate others. You then need to listen to others advice and apply it to yourself. Again though, you don't PLAY at things....you practice them. The kind of people who are attracted to you, and stick with you, may be a mirror of who you really are...of how others see you. Don't be angry at them...ask yourself what you're projecting!
