On how a guy can stay out of the friend zone. What are things that keep guys in the friend zone? Can a guy get out of the friend zone into something more? Any and all ideas/advice about dealin with the friend zone is greatly appreciated.

Also, ? for the ladies, if you know a guy and he never asks you out but he shows signs that he likes you, how long would it be until you place him in the friend zone?

friend zone..thats good. however husky you messed up my record..i went 3 days without getting confused by a thread..LOL all is good, i got it now.

my friend zone is very big...yeah there are guys in my friend zone that i really like alot. they have to be in my friend zone before they could ever go to a higher level...it takes time is all...its easy to be friends and easy to get in that zone, but time takes them from the friend zone to the zone we all want...

While I'm a guy, it's been my observation that if she's place you in the friend zone... might as well head for the locker room and hit the showers, you're out of the game.

Oh, sure, it's POSSIBLE to be drafted back into the game - but that's a choice she makes on her own.

True but I can think of 2 different guys in my town who are in my friend zone. They keep asking me "How did I get there and can't get anywhere else?" My response is I don't have those type of feelings for you. You are like a brother and I love you for that. So for them they never will step out of my friend zone into a relationship. I think for two people to move forward out of that zone, they both need to have the same type of feelings for eachother and want to explore more than just the friendship. JMO

Amazing. Like, I feel zoned like, totally you know?

Well, I would have to come straight-out and tell her how I feel. It’s not always easy and sometimes the risk can be a lost of a friend. It all depends on the other person of course. If it works on your favor, you’ll end up in a romantic relationship or have a really cool friend that knows that, you like her in more ways than one.

I agree that friendship is important, but I think he had "we can still be friends" friend zone.

yeh guys can for sure get stuck in the friend zone....

but dont you think spanky, guys need to start as friends before anything can really develop? i could be wrong, but both of my real loves were friends first...for me its a matter of trust...

am zoning out here spanky..LOL

yes.. friends first makes complete sense

well if he has that zone of "we can still be friends", then the zone has already been tested...no use increasing the speed, cuz it will take alot to get out of that zone...LOL

how u doin jh?

So how many zones are they?

First of all why would you not ask her out?? what’s the worst thing that can happen?? she says no? Ask you self how many times you have been told no in your life, honestly I don't think you can count that high.
So since its not fatal you have nothing to worry about, so we move to the pros of asking her.. She like you as well and says yes.
Remember your a man so act like it and just do it and don’t be afraid to make a decision, or you can be her girlfriend.
Sorry if this is harsh but it’s real.

Yes that maybe true about the "out of the game" but also you have to take in consideration many who have been hurt or not sure how fast they would like to take something, Are playing it slow not to be in same situations as once before. You have to earn their trust , friendship,companionship and once those are commited you can than know they are ready for love.. Whats a friend but someone who can be looked close upon. so even now you dont see it being more , Give that person a chance to see the real you.. than maybe more can come in as time applys.. good luck..

not a bad idea really.

well the first mistake shadow...you didnt use the word ZONE!!! LOL just teasing, good advice...

So you would advise him to sit in a corner and hide, while he admire her from afar??

Oh I completely agree Beb, friends first that is where the foundation starts and is based off of. But, there are just some friendships that I would rather leave at the friendship. And I have told them that. And with me being honest and them being honest. We have a great friendship. I probably worded it funny, I quit smoking and I am going insane for pete's sake

That’s somewhat interesting because you never know if he or she is feeling the same way about you.

lol well I have to agree if hes already in the friend ZONE he should look elsewhere because thats a tuffy to get out of.

haha..i was wondering if u were gonna catch that...

I'd rather be in ur zone.............COUNTDOWN ZONE!!!!!!!!! all my best to you and babe!!!
