That's gross. The "game", "tail."

Hopefully the OP is looking for an actual relationship and will soundly disregard you.

This is so not true. If a woman is not a head case and is somewhat intelligent, being friends with her will not put a guy in the friendzone if she attracted to him in the first place.

The reason it didn't work for him is that she wasn't into him in the first place. She only wanted an emotional tampon.

Ok, then wouldnt finding that out right away, be a good strategy? Is it better to waste months of your life and then feel cheated, depressed and aweful about the whole deal? Making your intentions clear is always, and i mean always, the right move to make.

If there is a mutual attraction present, then there is no need for that. Becoming friends first is completely unnecrssary.

I didn't say it was necessary to be friends first. I said it's not going to put him in the friendzone if he doesn't make a move soon enough.

The problems with not making a move relatively quickly is that 1) he won't know if she is interested in him 2) someone else could come along and grab her first, not that he will be fz'ed.

I agree that women give god awful advice when it comes to men and dating.

At the same token, you're not going to get good advice from guys that are sleeping around either.

By far, I've learned the most lessons from:

1) Men that are married to QUALITY women
2) Sitting back and observing things...watching what people do, as opposed to what they say

Men don't just want to be your friend. They want to have sex with you. You're better off assuming that until you have more information.

There are plenty of men who know how to attract women. Few are married, most date when they please and whom they please. Plenty of these guys are willing to share the knowledge. Sitting back and observing things works for some, and usually takes a long time. What you end up learning, is exactly what guys who are succesful with the opposite sex will trll you. In this case it would be, make your real intensions known right away.
