You are one judgemental bitch OP. You barely know that guy and you call him a creep. It's likely he has social anxiety, and possibly psychological issues, stemming from childhood traumas. Plus, you spoke to him twice and you put "wow kid just leave me alone" as a name. I'd say you're the type to expect your ideal man to appear, know you like him and ask you out without you having to do anything. Also, can you understand how much courage it would take for a guy like that to feel confident enough to actually ask you out?
And this is why we need feminism. This whole friendzone thing is pathetic, expecting every girl to spread her legs at you because you're trying to act nice, like she owes you something. To hold a woman to a standard that I'm not up to is just misogynist and hypocritical. Not her fault just because she stands up for herself and got the courage to have a standard higher that "he wants to date me." It's even sadder that this has become socially accepted, so I'm just waiting for the sexists thumbing me down, yay!
No one expects a woman to spread her legs for the guy who is nice to her. It may be a shock, but not every guy is an asshole. If he's nice, it'll be because he is a nice guy generally. He wants a simple relationship where he feels comfortable. If it progresses, then great. But he doesn't expect you to simply spread your legs. That's your choice, and he will understand it. From the sound of things, the guy OP mentions has social anxiety, and the courage it would have taken for him to actually ask is hard to build up.
#106, you have a point, but relationships aren't all about sex, even to guys. Sometimes we you could have real feelings for a girl/woman and she just doesn't return them, and you can't figure out why. Especially because there's this perception that women complain they can't find any "nice guys." If you feel like you are the "nice guy" yet she continues to overlook you, it's frustrating and confusing, and demoralizing. Obviously that's not true of every situation, but that's what most guys refer to when they talk about the "friend zone." Most people don't get pissed off and call a woman a bitch like the guy in this FML. This guy clearly has some other emotional/social issues he's dealing with.
I think, "I just don't feel that way about you" is a good enough reason. But I agree that it can be frustrating , whether your male or female, to always be put in the friend zone when you're interested in someone. (It's not just something women do to men.) If everyone you like "just doesn't feel that way about you," you begin to wonder what's wrong with you. But I still don't think OP deserved to be called a bitch. She was asked out by someone she barely knew, who she found creepy. She had every right to say no, just like she would even if the guy were society's idea of Prince Charming.
My point was that she doesn't need to give him a reason to why she doesn't want to date him, and the problem is that guys generally DON'T understand that, sadly. To me it doesn't seem like anxiety, more like an overly cocky guy that got angry because he got rejected, thus disappointed because he had EXPECTATIONS (Keyword, hinthint.) At the same time I do understand that is not fun being rejected, but you deal with it instead of making it into some trend to expect girls to be into you. *shrug*
106 I agree. You couldn't have put it better. I think a lot of it comes down to chemistry, and if I don't feel chemistry for someone I won't waste my time. I see guys complain about being friend zoned all of the time because they are nice and think you owe them a date at the least. Guys also need to learn that some are just simply friends. I have tons of hot guy friends but I would never date them. I don't have that feeling for them. Guys need to stop feeling because they are nice and hang out that they are supposed to be more. It's also a turn off when guys complain about being in the friend zone. It makes them seem entitled and whiney. You should date someone you feel chemistry for. If you date people that your friends with because they are good looking and fun but don't have chemistry for, then you are not separating your friends and people you could really have something with. Your friends are your friends, and your romantic interests are just that.
I reckon he was a really nice person. And you lost out on the best husband you will ever find
He is probably right. Just writing this FML shows that you aren't considerate of people outside your "group".
What a coincidence! Today I thought I would be nice. So I asked out the resident creepy girl. Can you believe she blew me off? I ended up calling her a "friend-zoning bitch".
That's why no one likes you, freak.
So? Who cares? He's sounds like n idiot OP
Well done op, well done. You dodged a bullet there.
I have to be honest, whenever somebody in an FML specifies that they "politely" declined, it tends to make me think they were not actually that polite. Probably not a fair assumption... but it seems like they're self-conscious about their rude behavior and overcompensate when they retell the story. But this does seem like an awkward situation for you, if you weren't even friends and barely knew him. That would suck.
Sucks for both of you :/ He must have been nervous and just by the sound of it doesn't have much people skills so it was probably a big thing for him to ask and he probably put it out of proportion. I think you handled that situation very well :) Don't worry, you aren't a friendzoning Beep :)

Sounds like he's been dumped before... A lot.
Well he doesn't seem to have any problems whatsoever...
