Friend zoning I believe strongly that by now we already know what it means. It is that ugly, grey area in a girl-guy relationship where one party (mostly the guy) falls for the other but is being strongly kept as just friends by the other party. This happens so much that explaining it further will be redundant. Frankly. But that's beside the point.

Every time a girl friend zones a guy they play the ostrich. They start playing innocent, acting like they don't understand why the guy is acting different. Acting like they "accidentally" hurt the guy.

I think, really, that women do these things deliberately. There's no level of innocence or naivety that blinds you to the fact that the guy you're rolling with has more intimate interests in you than normal friendship.

You are young, single and eligible. Rolling with a guy who is single too. You both have borderless conversations that extends to a flirtatious intimacy. There is a clear difference between a guy who you see as just a platonic friend and a guy you're prepositioning for something even deeper than that. If you don't want to Bleep with a guy in that way, why not just fucking create the boundaries? Friend zoning shouldn't take place.

Like, no guy will cry about being friend zoned if you didn't relate with him in a way that gave him genuine hopes. You literally open your door and motion to him to come on in, and when he tries to walk in you tell him "did I ask you to come in?"

You cannot explain how you don't know when a guy is obviously interested in you. You can either encourage him or create necessary boundaries so he knows his place. When after you take his time and money and attention and affection and finally he asks you out and you tell him that you can't date him because "reasons", he is in his emotional rights to feel hurt. When he gets hurt and withdraw from you then it is funny when you start playing oblivious.

Plus I think we need to stop pretending that it is absolutely normal for a guy to be overly nice to a girl just because he's nice like that. While it happens on rare occasions, most of the time there is an end goal. The goalpost may either be your heart or somewhere between your legs. Or, both.
