Since we have dissenting views here, what percentage of relationships do you think can get OUT of the "Friend Zone" and into a romantic situation?
There is a POLL. (So, what else is new?)
I voted 10% to 25%, but ON THE LOWER END of that range.
The "friend zone" is nothing more than two people where one person likes the other romantically, and there is no reciprocity. There is nothing to get "out" of.
The better relationships come from being friends, but the odds of it happening are damn slim.
I don't have any single female friends who I see often. Most of my female friends are all married, so the odds of me having one of these kinds of relationships are about 0% lol.

Since how static the friend zone really is has been the topic of other threads, I thought I'd formalize it with some numbers. Roll your eyes as you wish. BTW, did you vote?

No, since the question is based on a premise that there is some nebulous "zone" where people get trapped and must find a way out. It's so absurd!
Here is the thing about the friend zone, a male can get out it, but it is very hard. The problem with questions like this is, everybody who thinks the friend zone is an excuse will be able to name an example to show the friend zone doesn't exist. What they don't understand is, for every 1 person they know that got out of the friend zone, there are 8 guys who landed in it and will never get out.

It's like this. If you try out for the high school basketball team and you get cut, you can come back the next year and if you are better, then they'll take you.
That's very unlikely to happen in romance because most people make the decision whether to f@ck somebody based on looks.
Yes, but, for you guys who are languishing in some girl's "friend zone"...are you actually engaged in a true friendship with her? Are you doing the things friends do? Hanging out, going places, keeping up with each other, helping out, offering support in tough times...etc?
If not then face it, there is no "friend zone" here. In reality you have been jettisoned into the Black Hole of Rejection. Deal with it.
I hate to see the idea of "friendship" so horribly abused and twisted by those who are embittered by long-understood and accepted rituals of courtship. What's happened to the young men of today? Such whiners.
