Just because you've been ''Friendzoned'' does not mean that you have to stay in the friend zone. That's a choice that you make, if you choose to stay in this friend zone.

Thank you. You won't pull that friend zone on Diss. FAR too aware and intelligent to just take it like a sucker.

Before I get rebuttals, this exclusively applies to woman who've rejected me as a romantic partner after making my intentions known. I have a lot of female friends.

Ok. Fair. If you come right out and say you're interested but I'm not and you choose to not speak to me anymore, fine, whatever. But these guys haven't come right out and said it for me to say I'm not interested. But I can tell they are. I could be wrong but not likely . I'd feel dumb saying no when they haven't even asked me out yet.. That's why I'm like what am I scheming?? I think the first guy got the message though. He hasn't texted me since the last time we hung out.

Like, how? Once a woman decides she doesn't want to get sexual with a man, oftentimes within 5 minutes of meeting him, neither he nor she can change that. It's harsh, but true. Remember the railroad underpass scene in the "Lucas" movie? He awkwardly tries to kiss her; she backs away.

That's fair too. No use dumping water of there is no fire.

How? Easy, you can choose to actually become friends (which is not being in a friendzone, which implies you want something else than friendship), or you can stop hanging out with the person at all.

That was 30 years ago.
I dont remember go finding Lucas attractive either, physically or personality-wise. He woulda been just 'meh' as a friend also. Great story for the underdog to relate to though.

Like I said earlier, cut bait and RUN away from a woman who rejects you romantically. You get to preserve your dignity and self-respect by doing so.

So because someone does not want to be your romantic partner, she automatically makes a bad friend? That makes no sense to me.

I feel nothing but pity for someone who thinks that having someone not want to be romantic with you is a rejection that reflects on your dignity and self-respect.
