The key in filtering out potential love interests is to know what you want (not just what you don't want!), and stop trying to get a square peg to fit into a round hole. Ask the right questions early on - look for signs of deceit. Body language - tongues can deceive with little effort, but how is his posture? Did he look away?
Hmm. I have an I am processing your question look but I think it comes off that way though. I have noted that others have it too. Most typically I will display said look in thinking through how to answer open ended or hard questions.
Men and women can't be friends, so no, none of your friends relationships started out as " just friends." They started out with a guy being into a girl and eventually making a move just like most relationships start.
Men and women will only be friends (people that spend time together 1 on 1 for non-business related reasons) if one person is interested in the other, or both people are interested in each other. This is almost always true despite what women seem to believe. There have been tons of studies on this.
Soo you are saying it is pointless for me to make more guy friends and approach more guys anyway, since guys always start out being interested in the girl and will have interest in me only from the very beginning??

No, because not all guys will make a move upon first meeting a woman, and some won't make a move at all. By you being "friends" with them, it gives them an opportunity to execute a well thought out plan of action in regards to making that first move. All I was saying is that a man typically won't hang out with a woman in a 1 on 1 scenario as "friends" unless he's interested in her. Men aren't wired the same as women, so we typically don't discover we like someone after spending lots of time with them. We generally like a female right from the get go, but as I've said, we'll often play the "friends" game as a way of not coming on to strong, or if said female has made it clear that she is not interested. In the scenarios in which the female makes it clear that it's not happening, an erroneous friendship often results from wishful thinking or denial on the males part. This is what is known as the "friend zone."

Oh okay I get what you are saying now. And actually, I am a woman and I completely agree with you that girls and guys are never just "friends" to be "friends", because there is always a time at some point in the friendship when one has interest in the other, even if it is for a really short amount of time. Unless you are gay or lesbian.

This isn't necessarily true. When I was younger, I would befriend girls that I thought were out of my league. They were completely in MY friendzone from the beginning. I liked hanging out with them, but didn't look at them like that because we were in different leagues.
So friendships between men and women can definitely be legit.

First off I am not a chick.
But I am not saying you need to start off as "just friends", but you don't need to start off being lovers either.

It's called the friendzone brother
It's not a true friendship. You were only friends because that's all there could ever be. And LOL at them being in your friendzone. If one of these women would have came on to you, the you would have dropped that friendzone BS like a bad habit. Single straight men are almost unable to put women in the friendzone. Even the most unattractive woman can crawl her way out of the friendzone if the right services are offered......LOL

Unattractive men and women can be friends.
