Why am I forever in the "friend" zone??? (30)
You not alone. I feel the same way. "Lost cause"

Being in the friend zone sucks big time. It's the story of my life. "He's okay as a friend, but not as a boyfriend" is the way one girl put it when I was in high school. But I did manage to get married twice.

Macgyverman: I'm a gent, a nice guy and I will not change for anything. So why then when women complain that there are no gentlemen left, and then the second you show some interest... you're a good friend!!
This is really annoying me and starting to lose hope that I'll ever be in a relationship. People say there is someone for everybody but I just don't believe it now and the line you'll find someone, is wearing a bit thin.
Starting to sound like a lost cause aren't I......

It's what people say when there is no chemistry. I too have many friends.

I know the friendzone all to well friend, its easy to miss judge someone, like when you said ill never change for anyone, though you ment that you wont change being a wonderful man to and for the woman that you will treat so good,its easy for one to take words out of content it happens way to often.
Theres someone out there that wont do that,your a good guy,its easy to see.
I wish for you the best friend,Ladys dont let a good guy like this slip through your fingers and men dont let that special woman slip through your fingers,ive missed out to many times on true love because i was looking in the right direction but letting it pass me by.

tomcatwarne: Being in the friend zone has some benefits, usually
Since I believe in waiting until marriage for the "fun stuff", being in the friend zone means concentrating on friendships only. I'm perfectly safe that way, because the vast majority of my women friends are married and either Christian or probably Christian, so I don't have to worry about them preying on me. I sound like I'm not happy with my life, but in reality I'm living a very good life. I'm content with what I do have, happily retired, but clearly looking forward to being married again when and if that should happen. Being married the second time showed me how wonderful a great marriage can be, and I would dearly love to find another marriage like that one.

Well Hugger, it's commendable you are keeping yourself for the one, I suppose, but if you are both free and attracted to each other, and feel the need for each other, I don't see why you shouldn't make love. Maybe it will lead to romantic love, who knows, well I know it has happened to me.
You seem content with your life, good for you. I still like to get out and live and until the one comes along I don't intend to be a monk.
But each to his own. good luck in your quest for another marriage.

Oops. Silly quote thingy.
Because of strong religious convictions, I cannot and will not violate my principles to make love with a woman before marriage. If that means I remain single, then so be it. I'm certainly not going to die just because I'm not getting any. And, I'm much happier now than I would be if I violated my principles. Like you said, to each his own.
By the way, I am strongly attracted to a certain California resident, but I can't afford a moving van to move her up here. And, even if I could, what would I do about my situation being so complicated? It's kind of like being trapped between a junkyard dog and a fence, and not knowing which frying pan to jump into.

Without a car, and with buses far away, it's well nigh impossible to live an active social life, by the way.

Macgyverman: I'm a gent, a nice guy and I will not change for anything. So why then when women complain that there are no gentlemen left, and then the second you show some interest... you're a good friend!!
This is really annoying me and starting to lose hope that I'll ever be in a relationship. People say there is someone for everybody but I just don't believe it now and the line you'll find someone, is wearing a bit thin.

I do not believe that there is someone for everybody. Not everyone is meant to be coupled up. There are many people who lead solitary, happy lives. If you feel that you are supposed to find the right person, and it just isn't happening, perhaps it is time to re-evaluate whether or not you are meant to be a solitary man, and if so, learn to embrace that lifestyle, instead of chasing rainbows that aren't there, or harboring false hopes that only lead to nowhere.This is really annoying me and starting to lose hope that I'll ever be in a relationship.

I will share a secret with you. Women do want nice guys, but, with an edge. "Nice" is good, but toss some "Spice" into the mix, and you may find women more receptive to romance. Women, in general, would like romance, passion, a man that is a gentleman, but also a bit of a bad boy.

I'll just be me instead.
Besides, the "friend zone" suits me just fine 99% of the time.

there are worse things than being friends - the best relationships start as friendships - don't try to force things
