Today on facebook, I read that a girl overheard a boy in the Wilk Student Center (ya, I know my sources rock on this one....a friend of a friend of a friend...) say, "To all the single girls out there, wondering where all the decent guys are...we are in the friend zone, right where you left us." I ask you, what the heck is the friend zone? AANND...I want to hear some stories about "friend zone" situations you darlings have been in. All comment WELCOME, because I gotta figure this out folks.
Hey Meg, Awesome site here!
ReplyDeleteHey Meg, you're BEAUTIFUL. But I'm probably in the friend zone.

ReplyDeleteFriend zone huh? Honestly I think when a guy says he is in the "Friend Zone" he is trying to place blame for his current relationship status on the girls. That would be so much easier than taking responsibility for it, right? Sure, there is a permanent status of being a friend, but that usually comes after some kind of mini "DTR" where the girl says, "You're like my brother." (Doh!) But back to this friend zone idea, if this guy(s) are as decent as they say then this "friend zone" is totally imaginary, all in their head. I think guys actually place themselves in this friend zone to protect themselves. I'm no exception to this. Start to interact with a cute girl and I think, "Na, she could do better than me. But she probably won't mind being a friend." HA! I even think I'm doing the girl a favor. So there the guy sits in his little friend zone, all the time thinking "What if?" He has a particularly bad day, relationships come up in conversation and vwa-lah! The friend zone comment comes out, in an effort to cover-up his lack of guts/motivation. Maybe I'm completely off-base with my opinion, but here's why I think what I think. The more I learn the more I realize it's a problem with me, not with others (especially in relationships). You see, I know I'm a big Scaredy Cat, and it's something I'm working on, but I hope to one day get to the point where I can say, "You... me... date... tomorrow... 7... I drive." :) Sorry it's so long, but hopefully there's something worthwhile in there.
ReplyDeleteA woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we’re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we’re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn’t work out, we’ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.
ReplyDeleteBahaha. That's hilarious. I'm totally gonna adopt this job applicant comparison.
ReplyDeleteDanielle always says she is in the friend zone.
