I am a bit disappointed but now I know where I stand with the guy from work. Today I passed him and brought up when we would check out that place to see some ghosts. We had a long conversation again and when I saw that he seemed busy I told him that I would let him go and he kept saying no no no and to stay so I did. While we were talking about ghosts he started saying that his new girlfriend has been visited by ghosts. There is my answer....

By that point I wanted to already leave and go on with my day. He continued to talk to me and we were bringing up regrets we have from our past and things like that. He started to share that he used to be "bad" and would see girls while having a girlfriend already.

It's just friendship. He felt comfortable talking to me about relationships....

Not just men end up in the friend zone

I have the closure I need now.

Thanks for letting me vent.


Okay I wish I could change my title. I'm not exactly friend zoned, but he made it clear to me where I would ever be. I will just continue to do the hi and bye thing that we did before I got to know him. We don't work alongside each other, but I frequently see him.

Oh well. Back to square one.

Women can be friend zoned also. It goes both ways. So you did not lose anything. Move on.

The only difference between men being friend zoned and women being friend zoned is men always change their mind. He'll want you again, but by that time you'll have already moved on.

Not necessarily... I've been friend zoned by many men who have never and will never see me in a romantic sense. Men generally only change they're mind if you somehow get 'hotter' from my experience.

Ummm... yes, women do get rejected and friendzoned, but what you posted isn't evidence of exactly ... anything ... getting rejected or friendzoned.

Despite what women think, him not asking you out is not completely final of not interest.

I used to talk to a co-worker all the time about my girlfriends and stuff and in the end I was completely nuts about her.

"Friend zone" is still such a stupid concept. Not everyone you meet is going to be available to you or interested in you romantically. Frankly, this is true for most people you meet. Not being interested is not something that they consciously did to string you along, and there's nothing you can do to make them feel differently about you. It's not really rejection when someone doesn't meet your expectations. It is what it is.
