At the same time as that class is going on, women in that school should also take a "how to approach a guy and not sit around wondering and complaining to everyone why he hasn't called you" class.
No offense but that is a pointless waste of classes and would opt for taking more history courses.

Just promise you won't end up socially inept and hating the opposite sex because you can't find love :-)

Nope.

You care less about the opposite gender and social ineptitude is a blessing disguise.

But I already have female friends, that's what you guys don't understand. And As I said before in the thread the whole "hook you up with her friends" thing is garbage in my experience

Maybe actively playing matchmaker is not that common, but it does help simply to know a lot more women, and they know you're not creepy as you have female friends. But yeah, I guess if you already have enough female friends then, its not an issue.

If she just wants to be friends and you think she's a really cool girl.. stay friends with her. Just get over her, find someone new. There's a million women out there, go find someone who likes you. Every girl you approach isn't going to be into you, if she's not.. don't try to win her over.. believe to yourself that you can find someone who is.

I approach women all the time, and if I meet someone cool but she's not into me.. why not continue talking to her? I just simply go and approach new girls and then I have a girl to joke about other girls I've approached.

If you guys would stop making up all these fantasies and weird stories about "how things could be" with a girl you don't even know then you wouldn't be in the friend zone, you'd have a healthy relationship.

Learn to move on, learn to respect yourself and you'll be just fine.
Awesome point
