You know, i've dated several people over the past 2 and a half years of my single stint. Some are great, some I want to put restraining orders on, and some fall in between. One of most interesting social phenomenons of the dating scene is falling into friend zone. I would say about 70% of the "awesome women" that had long term potential that I have dated have put me in friend zone. I have also been found guilty of putting about 3 or 4 people into this zone myself. In one way its cool cause u always have a new friend to kick it with. In other ways it sucks balls cause u know an awesome person has shut you down. Here's the kicker though... I recently had someone that wanted to take me out of her friend zone and into her romance zone,,, the problem is I lost all interest. I don't know. I just find it interesting. So what are your friend zone pros and cons

I had a guy flat out tell me recently Karen, I don't need another friend.



I got what he meant but damnnnnn.

The friend zone sucks, but even worse is that special spot in the friend zone, it's called the best friend zone. It's cool to have a really good friend, an amazing best friend even, but still you want more. So one pro (actually the only one) is having this amazing person in your life and the cons, oh man, there are so many.

Someone should write a book on NOT being in that zone

I love you like a brother.....


But.....but....but, I WANT TO FUCK YOU!!!!!




been there.....

That doesn't sound like friend zone, it sounds like incest.

I've learned the hard way, sex and family is like friends and money: they just don't mix.

You and abierman have totally sullied this thread.

Also part of the dreaded friend zone - sleeping with a guy who was actually a friend. There's no chemistry, you're friends - all very simple. Then, all of a sudden, bam, you have sex and spoil a great friendship.

Bah!

ummm... that's generally how I feel about it. I rarely (if ever?) stay friends with men I only casually date. Either we get with it or I'm moving on.

I keep it in the family, yo.

Wow - do people actually use this excuse after high school?
