Ocee102: Far more often than not, yes.

But not always.If you're interested in more than friendship, tell her.

If your friendship can't survive that, it's not much of a friendship anyway.

Nidifugous: Maybe, maybe not. You need to tell her if you want more than friendship.


I agree. Sometimes it is a way of saying it will never be more than friends, but context is everything. I think a man should be careful about spinning a negative light on being friends with a woman. For myself I would not even consider a first date if we are not already friends. I seldom even answer an email if we are not already friends on the forums.

So for some women friends is a first step. If you pratter on negatively about that type of friendship it DEFINTELY will not go any further.

Too many variables not discussed--BUT, I'll give you a little smidgen: ask one of your other lady friends (that she doesn't know) to show you some attention, romantic-like, when you and her are together. You will know soon enough if it's a friends-only deal.

So much over-thinking and amateur psycho-babble when the simple answer is, you ain't got a hope in hell.

Depends. Not interested in you, as in not 'romantically'? Maybe.
A woman can have a hubby at home with which she is not friends: he is just there to help pay the bills.

Then again, a woman can have a male friend with whom she shares her feelings, experiences, joys and pains. If you are like me, I prefer the company of females: which includes everything about them, smitten The main thing being that I am usually in the company of some sweet female.detective

I am dismayed at the narrow views of friendship I see on here. Does this mean if someone is a friend you won;t date him? bloody hell as harry might say, that makes no sense. Does this mean you only date men with whom you know little about and have no history of friendship?

Being friends does not guarantee romantic involvement, but to me, it is certainly a requirement. If a tell a man I consider him a friend, it is possible there could be more. Am I from a different planet or what? lol

I do understand the term friendzone, and really it should be acquaintance-zone most of the time. transport

as far as the OP...I have no idea what female friend meansdoh

First of all, what is wrong with being friends? I have a good few male friends - who never were and never will be anything else than friends. I much value my friends.

If you want something else, talk to her, that's the only way you'll know.

Just from my perspective, someone trying to be a friend and then wanting more would work as much as one of us not interested romantically in each other and say "let's be friends". This will never be a genuine friendship, but then, that's not what you're looking for anyway.

Maybe just be clear next time from the start with what you want. handshake

It would depend on how she worded it. If she said, "he is my friend,"
that could be a good thing, for all relationships should start off as a friendship as others have discussed here. However, if she said, "he is ONLY my friend," then she means there is no romance involved.

Hope this helps. teddybear

Exactly. The biggest mistake people can make is to make assumptions or trying to read between the lines and then draw conclusions. They're usually wrong. He won't know until he either opens his mouth and asks or makes a move and it's either accepted or rejected. If he does nothing, he'll definitely remain in the friend zone.

If she refers to you as a friend, she is not interested, best to keep looking.

Yes. Other than that I would say she's interested. Distance might be another factor. Or perhaps your interests don't quite match hers, but still wants to keep in touch.

To me, that's a rejection, especially if you're trying to find someone for a potential relationship.
