perpetually in the friend zone

Thaniel Buckner · 11-19-2008, 03:45 PM

who here suffers the same affliction

hnibos · 03:48 PM

yea, but not in the same way you mean

or maybe, who knows

either way, it sucks

Thaniel Buckner · 11-19-2008, 03:50 PM

like....your third grade concept of chivalry keeps you from having a physical relationship with women who are actually worth being with.

duovamp · 11-19-2008, 03:51 PM

Not me, that's for sure. It's understood from day 1, eight o'clock that I won't tolerate chick friends and only befriend them for purposes of girlfriend and beyond. I settle for nothing less!

Thaniel Buckner · 11-19-2008, 03:54 PM

hnibos · 11-19-2008, 03:54 PM

becoming anti social does have its benefits

hnibos · 11-19-2008, 03:57 PM

Thaniel Buckner · 11-19-2008, 04:07 PM

im not advocating this lifestyle, though

Thaniel Buckner · 11-19-2008, 04:12 PM

the word you're looking for is not 'antisocial'. it's asexual.

synonymous with "not getting laid".

maoi · 11-19-2008, 04:13 PM

i'm pretty satisfied with this role

Sarcastic Smile · 11-19-2008, 04:14 PM

did you get my email?

edit: dumb questions email never fails, people do! what did you think?

they arent mutually exclusive terms.

i havent been laid in like, 5 months.

hnibos · 11-19-2008, 04:16 PM

sadly im not truly asexual

duovamp · 11-19-2008, 04:17 PM

I mean I never tell this to a girl, but I never put "us" in the situation where it's possible I just want to be a friend. Of course it's hit or miss, but by operating in terms of absolutes it enables me to make swift decisions regarding perceived profitability. Like I won't really bother with a girl aside from going on what are clearly dates with her. Hanging out with girls comes down to whether or not I have to deal with them regularly, like in a class, that's it. So like I'll only talk to her in class because she is in that class with me, but I don't hang out with her otherwise unless it's clearly on a date. That way by like the second date she makes it clear that she's interested or isn't and we're on the same page. It just removes the stupid-ass games that people play, it's like informally saying "Look, I'm interested, are you?" without beating around the bush (heh). I dunno, doesn't work for everyone and some guys think it's dumb, but I just don't want to be in the stupid friend zone ever. Plus chicks make bad friends, even they know that!

Shallowed · 11-19-2008, 05:06 PM

I was perpetually in the family zone once.

BumbleBeeMouth · 11-19-2008, 05:50 PM

i have this trouble, but it only happens with girls im interested in. what an irritating paradox.

I think it stems from me taking too long to really fall for someone, and by that point, before i can turn my awesome lasers on them, im in the "friend zone" (stupid girls)

Why is it a genetic or behavioural pre-requisite to be less good in front of people who actually make you catch your breath rather than just random bits of skirt.

BumbleBeeMouth · 11-19-2008, 05:51 PM

Duo, that seems to me to be a little false. Maybe i skim read it but it seems to me that you are giving the message of basically tits or gtfo

TheMilstead · 11-19-2008, 05:53 PM

Last time I advanced from the friend zone, I lost my best friend in the end.

jukeboxphuckup · 11-19-2008, 06:03 PM

I liked ****** better when he wasn't constantly talking about getting laid and bragging about his sexual conquests.

Floppy Nono · 11-19-2008, 07:55 PM

so wait, what's the problem here? you always just want to stay friends with them, they always just want to stay friends with you, or you can't bring yourself to make a move on them because you don't know where such an offer would stand?
