Love: Friendzone 2.0

Friendzone 2.0

By NeverNumberOne - 23/04/2018 01:30

Today, I finally got the courage to ask my best friend to go on a date with me. She assumed I meant a double date and squealed, "Who's the lucky guy?!" She thought I was her gay best friend for the past year. FML

Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML

Today, my friend told me that she gave my number to a guy I've liked for a while. I asked why and she just said "He's just going to have to tell you himself." I got hopeful and really nervous. A few hours later he calls. Turns out, he's called to try and get a date with my gay friend. FML

Today, after weeks of summoning up the courage to come out of the closet to my best friend, I told her I was gay. Immediately after she started cracking up, thinking it was a joke. I was so confused and nervous, I went along with it. She still thinks I'm straight. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my best friend who I'm crushing hard on that I like her. She gave me a look of revulsion and asked if I was joking. FML

Today, I invited over my best friend, whom I've loved for over a year, since she had to tell me "something important". I got excited and thought she was going to tell me she loved me too. She ended up coming out to me, and wanted to know if I would meet her girlfriend. FML

Today, my good buddy of about two years set me up on a blind date. I got to the meeting point and realized that my date was a guy. My "buddy" honestly thought I was gay. FML

Today, I went on the best date I've been on in years. Later on, over drinks we get talking and I explain how I came out to my friends and family. When I ask him how he came out, he replies that he isn't gay, and oh, did I think this was a date? FML

Today, a guy I've liked for a while asked if he could talk to me during break. He'd never done that before, so I was excited and said yes. As soon as we both sat down, he asked if I'd help him get a date with my best friend. FML

Today, I finally had the guts to tell my best friend that I like him more than just as a friend. I was about to tell him when he excitedly told me that he met the love of his life yesterday. FML

If you really love her, you’ll find a guy to go on the double date, just so you can be near her. This seems like a good sitcom plot.

Is this technically being friendzoned? Or gay-zoned or something?

how can you be best friends and she thought you were gay? best friends imply you know each other well.

Hey, sometimes even people we think we know might turn out to be complete strangers. Sometimes they turn out to be gay or straight or a Colombian drug Lord.

I remember when my best friend turned out to be a drug mule. In retrospect, i should've seen it coming, he was always carrying people and luggage around.

I thought I was the only one to find out my "friends" were Colombian drug lords. Small world.

You were too nice to her. You must be a jerk to be a straight man.

Probably had less to do with him being nice and more to do with him never revealing his true feelings or intentions

Tell her, "well I'll be the lucky guy if you decide to go with me"

Some people are friend-zoned and some people put themselves into the friend-zone when they really hope for more. I guess it can feel less risky to our egos to act like we’re “just a friend” when we really want more. But with maturity comes the realization that honesty and openness from the beginning is ultimately the best choice. Just don’t try to jump too quickly in the levels of a relationship - That can easily scare off the person we are interested in. Learn to read the signs that show how the other person thinks of you, that is a very important skill. You can lose by going too slow, apparently like OP in this case. And you can lose by going too fast and coming off like a crazy stalker.
