Dating & Relationship Forums - DatingChat.org

Hey -- I\'ve been reading old posts etc. and everyone\'s talking about the friend zone. I\'m guessing that\'s when you\'ve become a good enough friend to someone that they wouldn\'t think of dating you - at least, that\'s how it seems to be used on these forums.

I was just wondering, is it usually (or almost always) guys who are wanting out -- to date their close friends? Would most chicks start feeling uncomfortable if their close friends displayed some interest or attraction towards them, or would you be able to deal with it, or even embrace it?

I thought that it was a good idea to be friends before moving further, if that\'s so, then doesn\'t that make it significantly harder to actually move the relationship ahead?

I feel like a 2 year-old here, but I gotta get up to speed somehow

For me it\'s taken a while to figure out the \"friend\" zone...i figure that when i look at all the girls that are my good friends ...i do know they are either girls i\'ve had crushes on, liked or we went out ..yua know..not all but most...and sometimes good friends turn into more and it becomes a relationship but not always..it could turn completly sour and go bad...all depends on if the girl is a true friend or not. One time i told this girl i liked her and just poured out my heart to her and she jsut wnated to be friends  and we\'re really good friends now! But yea.....if i were u i\'d go for it...flirt ALOT and see if she flirts back....if she\'s your friend and wants to continue to be friends she\'ll pick up the hints and either go with it or totaly back off ...if she does u should too ..but the best bet would be to talk to her......as i said earlier ....is she really is your friend your relationship will probably get stronger not worse...it will be a little awkward for a while if it odesn\'t work out but if it does then you\'ll be very happy

Yea well.... then i guess u can\'t flirt with the but the subtle hint thing is good....if she changes the subject on ya then u know to back off ...but if i were u i\'d try that ...keep the subtle hints going and see what happens...if she\'s smart she\'ll get the picture ....but if your still unsure talk to her..it won\'t kill ya...and do\'nt get your hopes up on her asking you to the prom...it could mean something but if she said she wanted to go as friends she probably meant it...i agree with u though if i were going with my friend to the prom it would be b/c i liked them more than friends but remember we\'re not girls  ..hope it helps...

sometimes best friends can end up like that, and when they do, coz thgey know each other so well it lasts. I had 2 very good friends recently, they got on extremely well.  I found out from both of them, that they fancied the other, but were afriad if the other found out it wud ruin the friendship, but i did a bitof manipulating, and they\'re together now, and i\'ve never seen two ppl more perfect for each other - its so great.  Its the best thing that ever happened to either of them and they\'re both so happy now.  They were afraid that their friendship wud suffer if they ever broke up, but i dont think thats gonna happen.

Well heres how it goes if the girls shows interest in you and displays signs that she may want to take the friendship further ask her out cos she\'ll be sooo happy you did. If on the other hand she\'s not interested the worst that can happen is she\'ll be flattered and the friendship will resume that really aint so bad is it?? if she\'s a real friend she shouldn\'t feel too uncomfortable she may only feel that way if you keep pressuring and pursuing her if she\'s made it very clear she\'s not interested in you as more than a friend   there ya go a no BS type of gals opinion
