For what it's worth, I just spotted this article in the Toronto Sun and thought I'd pass it along.

How to tell if she is into you | Sex Files | Life | Toronto Sun

As a woman, I think it's fairly on the mark, I just really dislike the term " friendzone".

Kiss her. Less talk, more action.

I have a hard time with it because I either wanted to date you, or I didn't. And if i didn't, I didn't want you as a friend as a consolation prize. If I asked a guy out and he wasn't interested, I'd rather have no further contact at all than be relegated to the sidelines of friendship when that wasn't what I was looking for. I don't need a collection of opposite sex friends who are dating "rejects" on my part or theirs.

It must be nice to be able to pull that off.

This comment makes me wonder if women actually realize how much rejection guys deal with.
If a guy had this mentality, strike that, If I had this mentality, I would almost never have female friends. Especially lately.

That's you, but you've got to be completely nuts to deny it doesn't happen ALL THE TIME.

well, IME, i think the great majority of friendzoning occurs to guys. and your thoughts are pretty much in line with those of most women i think. sadly there are many guys that don't mind being a woman's puppy once she friendzones him.
