The Friend Zone

[The Man Of 16]

We've all been there. And I think Im now there with this one chick. And I gotta say I'm a little angry. She's a really nice girl, and she laughs at my jokes, so Im always confident around her. I once told her I liked her and she said that she "has been in and out of a bad relationship for a while". (It wasnt cut as plain and dry like ive described)
I was funny, and I was confident, and I was genuinely sexy, so I was blindsided when she said this.

So a month or so passes and she calls me up, just out of the blue and she asks me to go to see Knocked Up, with her. Since I had no other plans and was bored out of my mind. I decided to go.

After hanging out for like 2 hours after the movie, I'm making her laugh a lot and we were just having a great time. But then at the end of the night, I was parked outside her house, talking to her, I had quit being as funny as earlier and started getting serious. There was a short awkward pause in the conversation (just what I needed) and I looked into her eyes, and was about to kiss her when she says "WELL GOOD NIGHT!" and opens my car door and walks to the door herself.

I was shocked. Literally 1 minute had passed sinced I parked. I couldnt stop thinking what the hell I did. If I did something wrong. Weve gone out 4 times since saturday, and still this.

Anyways, how can I get out of the friend zone? I'm sure many of you have all been there and I hope a few have escaped the friend zone, which feels a lot like the phantom zone.

Any help would be appreciated.

get really muscular and start driving a motorcycle? Or whatever is bopping in the streets.

Huh. The way she called you up outta the blue suggest to me that maybe she had been thinking she missed an opportunity, and wanted to investigate it again. Maybe she found what she was looking for--no attraction, or she's still a little confused.

Alcohol.

get her drunk....talk to her about the situation....her response will dictate if you have a chance or not. chances are, by the sounds of it...you will not be escaping the friend zone. deal with it.

 

[punishermax]

Alcohol is the world's best truth serum.

I'm a girl. If I have a funny friend, and he's cute, and does everything right, then the worst possible thing he could do is get serious. If you want to make your move, don't make it such a heavy moment, and definitely don't do it after an awkward silence. If anything, do it right after you've made her laugh. Surprise her.

i agree

The last thing a guy wants is for the girl he likes to love him like a brother......or a lamp.

Your the funny friend. Dude you already doomed yourself. Funny friend never gets with the friend he likes. I know.

 

[The Man Of 16]

Well we DID get high on saturday. (just weed). I guess the next time I'll just get some alcohol.

Or you can find a girl that might dig you without the need for intoxication.t:

...fack! The one time I can make a girl laugh at my command, I may not be able to have her.

Lol, but that was once out of the 4 times we went out.

Yeah, the funny friend is something you don't want to be. If you become the funny friend you may as well mentally castrate yourself. Cause it's rare if it happens.

But no worry, everyone has been the funny friend, the fat friend, etc.

Yeah never become the funny friend first. Now a normal friend is fine. Ask her out on dates and stuff like that. Say some funny jokes but never be the funny friend. By doing so you become like a brother. And no girl wants to sleep with there brother. Except for that small amount you see on late night tv.

 

[The Man Of 16]

K but how is it possible for people to like you without being funny? Doesnt that kind of go hand in hand?

 

[punishermax]

You can be funny, just not too funny. Don't be the clown. Just let her know you have a sense of humor. Be subtle about it.

that's on an individual basis. Some people like the guy who takes control and others may like the laid back kind. Tough break always your hand

 

[deathshead2]

You can be funny. But there comes a time when you just have to go for it before its to late. Before you become the FUNNY FRIEND. First you hang out with a girl to gain trust as a friend. Second use jokes and hang out and just talk to break the ice. Then third go for it ask her out. If you ask her out to late your the funny friend. It happens to me all the time. Which is why I don't have a girlfriend. Because im the funny friend. Which really eats you up inside.

You can be the funny ******* and hold women at a distance...

K, I got you. So whats your experience been like in the friend zone.

 

[deathshead2]

Or be an a-hole. Girls love the a-hole guys for some reason.

Or you can do this.
