Everyone here is way too obsessed with being in the friend zone. There's nothing wrong with being friends with a woman... the only thing you guys have to do is learn to move on and have some damn self respect. If a girl isn't in to you, who cares?! 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.

I like to have fantasies about this particular bird, even though it's only platonic. I can't help it, her plumage is just so vibrant.

I don't believe in the friend zone (it's made up), but I really like your post.

, as usual Burgler.

The funny thing is I've found that if you get rejected by a girl, stay friends with her, and don't even consider her an option anymore, she'll actually come around. This has happened to me more times than not. If I'm friends with a girl long enough (sometimes it doesn't even take a long time....sometimes, it's months or years...but other times it's literally the next day). Other times, if you're cool, the girl will hook you up with her friends.

A perfect example of this was a girl that I met when I lived in Thailand. We were at a party scene and I tried to get with her. She flat out rejected me. I was having an unsuccessful night and ran into her again. She was crying. This was around 3 AM and most people were hooked up already so I just sat with her and talked, then walked her back to her hostel. She was pretty drunk and threw up all over the place. Then, I defended her from a guy that was trying to get with her while she was throwing up (). I helped her back, tucked her in, and went back out, thinking nothing of it. The next day, she came up to me and was VERY happy to see me. She introduced me to one of her cute friends and told her what I did. The friend became my "Thailand girlfriend" (lol). We basically were dating for the rest of our stay there until she left.

But that would have never happened if I was all pissy and whiny when she rejected me OR if I let her rejection affect my sense of self (I usually have the attitude: "I know I'm awesome....she's either just weird or didn't like my approach. Oh well.").

That's one hot bird. Geese are more my thing. I try to hug them but they just run from me.

Being put in the 'friend zone' just means the other person isn't interested in you 'in that way'. Not everyone that you are attracted to will feel the same way about you and there's really not much you can do about that.

If I were to dwell about every guy that put me in the 'friend zone' I'd probably be a crying pile of mush right about now.
