    I forgot where I heard it, but the funniest thing I ever heard was a guy saying, "Dude, I'm so deep in the friendzone that I've met her boyfriend's parents."

      a lot of people frown upon leaving the friendship. a lot people assume that if the dude leaves he was just in it for sex/romance.
      Also some say "if you really like her then you would be happy that she is happy with someone even if it isn't you."

    Seems to be a euphemism for unrequited love or general incompatibility. The tricky thing is that it cannot progress if it's one sided, or if only one person is sexually attracted and not the other. So it's fairly common, but it shouldn't be viewed as the end of the world. Even in the most stable of long term romantic bonds, friendship represents the foundation. I think part of the solution is that we have to start valuing friendships again.

      Yea I met this girl two years ago and she’s chill and very kind and doesn’t play hard to get. I told her how I felt about her and all she did was find it adorable. And till this day she knows that I like her but to her it’s like it’s a normal thing so we’re just really good close friends. But here’s the thing she likes some other dude sadly 😔😪. I think he’s too cocky because he likes another girl and he can’t like two girls and expect to be with my crush. My crush is going for the wrong guy. Literally because of him she got in trouble and got all her things taken away, not only that her stepdad was all up on her face screaming at her and since she was frustrated she cried for three hours long. She didn’t do nothing wrong. She got in trouble just because the dude she has a crush on kissed one her friends and she told one of the teachers through messages and her parents thought the teacher had bad intentions so it’s really the dudes fault for playing with her feelings. If he truly liked her. He wouldn’t have done what he did behind her back. They don’t even go out they’re just friends but it’s whatever. And I’m like, “Hello I’m here waiting for you to see that I’m the right guy for you.” (In my mind) But no she still likes him even though it’s his fault that her life right now sucks. 😢 I hate not being her favorite boy 😪.

      it _is_ a good thing. who doesnt want new friends???
      EDIT:
      in general, the friendzone is a sexist concept. if you become friends with someone bc you want them to have sex with you, that's manipulative. the friendzone puts the blame on the woman for the man's feelings. like no, you're responsible for your own feelings for someone and they dont owe you shit for liking them. women arent a vending machine where you give friendship and they give you sex. the kinds of people who complain abt the friendzone just dont see women as people.
      if you're genuinely friends and then you fall for someone, thats fine. you can go a couple different routes: you can keep your feelings quiet, or you can confess. both are valid. personally, i wouldnt want to risk the friendship, but to each their own. if you keep quiet about it, then you continue being their friend and that's it. if you confess and get rejected, then again, that's it. you're rejected. you can continue your friendship like before (but slightly more awkward now, probably). or you could decide that you need a break from your friendship to get over them. sometimes its just too painful to be around them but not _with_ them, so you can end the friendship. that's a valid option too. but the key here is that 1) you didnt enter the friendship in order to manipulate them into a relationship, and 2) you dont put the blame on them for not returning your feelings. its not your fault you fell for them, but its your feelings that ultimately ended the friendship. which isnt a bad thing, necessarily, but its important to acknowledge that its not their fault.

    don't constantly offer favors when what you really want is to ask them out
    learn how to actually flirt instead of mixed signals
    if a 'moment' presents itself, don't hold back
    stop being scared of rejection
    don't be a doormat
    don't listen to tumblr
    the friendzone is not simply being rejected
    if you get the "I just like you as a friend" excuse, it's usually just them trying to be polite. respect that instead of summoning your fedora/neonhair trigger powers. feelings might change down the line, but only if you allow them to organically.

    I've been "friendzoned" plenty of times and it honestly hurt and made me become more cynical and distant. It was only until I didn't accept the friend zone for what it is generally accepted as. Look, respect the man or woman's decision to not be interested in you and if your friendship is solid enough than you can remain friends. If not then your friendship was probably not as strong in the first place. So he/she wanting to be your friend is not putting you in the friend zone, it's simply them wanting to be your friend. I believe our society has devalued friendship and has made it nearly impossible for a girl and guy to be friends if they are both single. It's quite sad

      Dude women can't be friends tru friends. Women can be friends as long as everything is fine in your life, but once you are in trouble they will vanish as fast as money. Being friends with women is always about some sort of shallow relationship. Women and men can never be true friends, as buddies -yeah, as companions-maybe, but as friends as guy can be - no. True friends always with you whenever you are in trouble, true friends understand you in deeper level, women just can't understand guys deeply, it is just impossible for them.
      Why do you think nerds, introverts, and all other guys who by logic need friends, support the most never gets one and always considered to be "creeps", while dudes who by logic don't have problems with having friends and so don't feel need in them always have a ton of them? The answer is nobody f....king needs anyone's problem, and so there is no real friendship.
      I can prove my words by real examples. Why people after getting married become so mad and angry about their marriage? Why a lot of parents have issues with their kids? The answer is closer people get together more they know about each other , more they start to hate each other. Real friendship is tested by tough reality if it passes this test it can be considered as real friendship. But the truth is in reality all those "friendships" can be crushed as situatiton gets serious. Same thing here, woman are "friends" with men as long as he doesn't need any help in life, as long as he is self-sufficient, but rather has something to share, something to provide, then yeah he will be considered normal, but once he is trouble once he needs some tolerance, he instantly turns into "creep". Yep that how it works. Same thing here, women objectively have nothing useful to provide besides sex, if we look objectively, but men on the other hand have way more services to provide, like fixing computer, fixing electro devices, providing protection, and so on, and if men is self sufficient and doesn't need any help from women, he is fine with his current life status, ofc he will be friend to woman, cuz everything is fair, cuz both woman and man in such relationships are self sufficient and they can ask each other for help. Shortly, always friendship between man and woman is always based on generousity and self sufficiency of a man.

    There's a girl that I know whom I've friendzoned. She gives off very noticeable hints, and I know she likes me, I just don't have the same feelings for her.
    Guys, if you want to know how to tell if a girl likes you, here's a list of seven things to look out for.
    1: Do you catch her looking at you a lot? If you do, there's a good chance she may like you. A more confident girl will most likely keep eye contact with you after you've noticed her, and smile. A shy girl will normally dart her eyes down and away from you. Within a few seconds, she'll usually look at you again. Keep eye contact with her, and smile. Her heart rate will increase, and so will her breathing. Don't stare too much though, she might get creeped out!
    2: When you start a conversation with her, does she immediately smile? A feeling of attraction will usually cause the girl to smile. Don't worry if the smile is short lasting. The girl could just be shy, but it's difficult to hide a strong emotion.
    3: Does she "accidently" bump into you a lot, or does she purposely poke you? This is usually a strong sign of attraction. It's a girl's way of feeling you up, her way of seeing how toned you are, or her way of trying to get your attention. Shy girls are less likely to do this! If you think a shy girl might like you, but she doesn't do those things, break the touch barrier yourself! When trying to get her attention, instead of just calling her name, tap her on the shoulder and keep your hand there for a single second. This will get her to slowly become more comfortable with the touching, and eventually she might start touching you back. Don't go overboard though, because you might scare her off!
    4: Does she ask for small favors from you, like asking you to carry something or open something she could have easily opened herself? This is her way of gauging how nice you are. She may not even directly ask you for something. If she complains that it's cold, and you have a hoodie, let her wear it, even if it means you'll be cold too! This is her way of getting a feeling of being close with you, and a way of her getting to smell you. I know, it may seem weird that she's trying to indirectly smell you, but your natural body odor is usually attractive to girls that like you. You will usually like how the girl smells, if you have the same feelings for her. Just make sure you shower every day and use deodorant. Cologne is not needed. This way you won't stink, but your natural body odor isn't overpowered by the cologne. If you're around other guys when she says this, don't be too quick to jump to a conclusion. She may like one of the other guys, and will feel disappointed that you offered before he could.
    5: Look into her eyes. No literally, look into her eyes. When you're conversing with her, if she likes you, her pupils will dilate. This is completely uncontrollable, and she won't even know that it's happening. Confident or shy, the girls eyes will always dilate. Just don't stare into her eyes though, as she might become uncomfortable. Just take quick glances and try to notice if her eyes are dilating. Same goes for guys too. Your eyes will dilate around a girl you like. People usually don't know about this very subtle reaction, so don't worry about your eyes dilating around him/her.
    6: Does she laugh at your jokes, even if they aren't very funny? This is a good sign she likes you. It's completely subconscious, so she won't even realize she's doing that. Test it. Say some jokes around her, and if she's the only one to laugh, or even chuckle, she definitely likes you. Don't go overboard on the jokes though. You don't want to end up looking like a comedy dork!
    7: Pay attention to how she positions her body when she's around you! If you're with a group of friends, take quick glances at her feet. Her feet will almost always be pointed in your direction. This is a completely subconscious act. She won't know that she's doing it. Also pay attention to how she positions her body when talking with her. If she likes you, she will subconsciously point her body towards you. Of course don't immediately assume she likes you, because it could just be in that moment. She will almost always point her body towards you. If you're sitting near her, she will lean in towards you. This is also subconscious, and is her way of getting close to you.
    There you have it! Keep an eye out for all of those things, and you should be able to tell that she likes you! **Cliché mode activate!** Just be yourself around her. She likes you for the person you normally are. Don't start purposely trying to impress her!

    • @FlyntofRWBY
      @FlyntofRWBY 9 ปีที่แล้ว +138

      Jorn Bom Hm, the things I listed are very unknown signs. If she does know about the signs and just tries to gauge your reactions, then she's a jerk. If she suddenly starts showing you these signs, be cautious. Always look for the dilating eyes though! It's something she can't control, no matter how hard she tries. If she doesn't have any feelings of attraction towards you her eyes _won't_ dilate, even if she knows about that tell-tale sign.

    • @jabom22
      @jabom22 9 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      But the dillation is purely biological right. So you think attraction is purely biological? I do fully understand and agree with your statements however.

    • @FlyntofRWBY
      @FlyntofRWBY 9 ปีที่แล้ว +78

      Jorn Bom Well, it is biological. Our brains evolved to be able to experience that emotion. We're not the only animal that has evolved to feel that emotion. If love were a cultural thing, it surely wouldn't exist in some cultures.

    • @jabom22
      @jabom22 9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I was more aiming towards the point where the only thing lacking in your list is the dilation. For whatever reason could be hormonal or that there is no direct physical competence and yet there is something gping on, in your opinion is this possible or not? I am curious about the cultural aspect you mention.

      at this point he'd learn whether she was A. full of shit and creating a friend illusion because he was a significant customer, B. He was really bad at sex, and she literally gained nothing out of it. C. She really liked the ideas of keeping her options open and remaining uncommitted to anybody, knowing that she probably has a lower life expectancy and a higher risk of STD's and she may actually think she's a piece of shit subconsciously. or D. she's either crazy, or an idiot who belieevs everything she's been told, and therefore doesn't have a very good grasp of what the real world is.
      PS. all are possible outcomes in variable proportions. The human mind is amazingly complicated and specializes in 2 things: ignoring shit it doesn't need to think about, and staying comfortable enough to function well enough to survive day-to-day

    Naming something the friendzone is so sad because it diminishes the value of friendship. Platonic love is still very valuable and fulfilling. Plus, you can’t date everyone.
    If you start viewing all of your relationships as “what value can I add to their life, and what value can they add to mine?” Instead of, “why don’t they like me?” Then you start seeing life more as passive positive experiences less that the labels matter.
    What can you do to make your situation better? And, part of that is understanding your boundaries. People can’t be available 24/7 and you can’t be either, etc. it’s much better to have a friend or partner who is honest with things like that, too. A true loving relationship is balanced between what each person can contribute.

    I swear the unavailable thing is so true. I was friends with this girl around grade 7, she was always kinda overly friendly, and it seemed like she had feelings for me, but I wasn't really into her, even though she was attractive. We were always seatmates on the bus, despite me wanting to sit with other people because I found her annoying at times. I wasn't really all that nice to her because I didn't appreciate her attention and took it for granted. Then one week she went off to a camp for a while, and something came over me. I really missed her, and I'll admit, I felt like I loved her, despite not having seen her in a few weeks and having felt none of that the last time I saw her.
    When she returned, I was happy to see her and tried to hang out with her as much, but she was more distant. She'd just had a wild time at camp meeting boys (one of which she was openly obsessing over), and was less friendly towards me suddenly. This sudden disinterest in me just heightened my feelings for her, and the more I tried to talk to her, the more distant she got. She got other friends over the summer, and when we hit high school, I rarely spoke to her, which of course drove me completely bonkers. I was super in love. I carried on like this for a while, but after 3 or so years of obsessing, I decided just to forget it, but man, it really goes to show what a difference being distant can make.

    i never got why being in the friendzone was made out to be worse than never seeing the other person again.
    every romantic relationship ends in either breaking up or dying, and if in your culture you tend to have only 1 romantic partner at a time, then every single one of your relationships apart from one (if you are the first to die in a couple, or they die and you don't date again) ends in breaking up. Can't say that about friendship!

    Friend zone is pretty easy to understand. The person likes to be around you but for some reason isn't attracted to you. That could be physically, lifestyle, some other fundamental incompatibility. So it's not something you are put into. That person offers you friendship and it's your decision to take it or leave it. The only person who puts you in the friend zone is you.

      Yeah but its more insulting to a guy who has genuine feelings for a girl because whenever she eventually finds a bf he's just gonna have to sit and watch them make love from the side lines, knowing she's getting her back blown out. It's like a form of cuckoldry, it's better for his own mental state to let him go and not put him through that if she really cares about him.
      And the guy she chooses alot of the times treats her badly so eventually she's gets her heat broken and comes running back to mr friendzone guy but will never give him a chance.
      Thats like if a girl really likes a guy and they have so much fun togther and she really enjoys his company, he gives her butterflies in her stomach and she really loves him and she cooks and cleans for him, yet he ignores all that and goes to be with some trashy bimbo slut who treats him like crap, then complains about it all the time but then tells this female friend, she's so special any man would be lucky to have her yet, he would never do it and they can only be friends while he only goes after trashy women then keeps complaining about.

    In polish language we have many ways you can describe your relation to others:

    "kolega" - it's basically person, with which you meet up, talk to, something more then "znajomy"
    "przyjaciel" - you confess to that person, spend most of your time with him, never say a bad word about em,
    "Najlepszy przyjaciel" - where "najlepszy" means "Best", best one of your "Przyjaciel", somebody that knows almost everything about you, same you know everything about em, somebody who will never leave you in trouble

      Stranger, aquaintence, friend, best friend/bosom buddy...these are the words people used in the past, plus words like classmate, colleague, etc. A friend was someone you were already quite loyal to and vice verse.

      All these words exist in Russian and English, for that matter. Like and love are different words and are used pretty much exactly like in English when you might say you love a type of food or an activity, a relative or a close friend, but not a complete stranger.

      Explains it to a certain extend, since attractive people will get chosen instead of brushed aside, no matter how incompatible they might be. The relationship won't last, but attractive people are much less likely to be friendzoned I'd imagine

    i think there are 2 ways you can end up in the friendzone.
    one is not stating your intentions in the early stages of getting to know someone meaning they never got a chance to reject you to begin with while you are still just acting just really friendly that's all you really did so they never got to see you as anything else for anything else.
    the other is falling in love with an already established friend who most likely doesn't feel the same because they never developed feelings for you because it's quite rare to develop feelings between already established friends.
    so the friendzone is in one case inevitable, the other is simply just being afraid of rejections or just lacking knowledge into how to actually approach someone with a romantic interest in mind thinking it's the same thing as making friends when it really isn't.

  • @KarrieDreammind5
    @KarrieDreammind5 10 ปีที่แล้ว +384

    As a girl I'm tired of being made to feel guilty for 'friendzoning' anyone. The whole concept is weird and unfair. If somebody tells you they want to be your friend do you honestly think it never crossed their mind to look at you in a sexual way and decide whether they feel attracted to you or not? Of course it did and you can't seriously get angry at someone just because they are not attracted to you.
    I used to have no self-esteem when I was a teenager and was lonely and depressed didn't even look so good and so the possibility of being liked by a guy was probably 0,001%. So don't think that guys are the only ones with this kind of issues. But I wanted to change and so I worked really hard on myself. Not just on my looks, I worked the hardest on my self-confidence and I'm proud with all the effort I put. Today I have more success with guys than I would have ever dreamed of when I was a teenager and I know I would have never gotten here if I never put an effort to better myself. Therefore I am not ashamed to have higher standards and to pick guys who are good-looking and have also got self-esteem. I believe I deserve it and I am not obliged to go out with someone just because I feel sorry for them. If you want to be liked by others, don't just sit around complaining and hating on anyone who isn't attracted to you - actually do something about yourself. Make yourself attractive. And remember: self-confidence is one of the most attractive traits. (just don't go too far and become arrogant, find the perfect balance!)

If you're still obsessing over someone who friend zoned you years after the fact, then much of what is said in this video won't apply to you. Things like a neutral observer thinking you're not as compatible as you think didn't apply to my situation (from anyone actually familiar with our friendship) and probably doesn't to yours.

    I’ve been friends with someone I’ve had feelings for ever since we were children. It’s been over a decade and I’m still good friends with them, but I don’t think they feel the same way about me. And that’s honestly ok, because no matter what I want them to be happy even if it’s not with me because she’s one of my best friends. She’s been going through hard times recently and I’ve always been someone she can talk to about it and she seems to be appreciative of that. I’m pretty introverted and don’t know too many people so I suppose when I think of someone I’d be in a relationship with it’s always been her. But the reality is that it very well may never happen. And people must learn to accept this, it’s alright to still be “just friends” with someone and respect their preference. Although it hasn’t happened to me yet I know there are plenty of people out there who I might have a future with, and even if I want to be more than friends which may never happen, I’ll still always be her friend and wish the best for her because that’s what relationships are all about whether it be romantic or just someone you care for.
