Today, I went home after work with my best friend who I am also secretly in love with. We had a few drinks, were getting touchy, and one thing led to another. Before leaving, I got the courage to ask her out on a real date. Her only reply was, "I don't want to lose such a good friend." FML

I didn't have an account when I posted this, but I'm the OP, and honestly, during our drunken state, I mustered up enough sobriety to prevent things from going too far. I as well, didn't want to ruin things between us by having sex because I respected her too much, and wanted more than that. Was it the right thing to do, or was I just being a dumbass? One commenter was correct in stating that she was confused as to what she really wanted. Either way, we've talked it out, and moved over that. It's better anyways maybe, considering we both work together and I have to go on months long deployments with this girl, haha. :]

It is the middle between being in a relationship and being acquaintances, between being close to someone and them not liking you back, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the friendzone.

I've noticed that the majority of friendzone complaints stem from the concept that someone "owes" you romantic attraction if you're a nice person who respects her, and the concept that a rejection is a personal insult telling you that you need to try harder. Neither of which are true. If someone isn't romantically attracted to you, it doesn't mean they have a bad impression of you. They just aren't attracted, that simple. And I don't even get what's wrong with being friends with someone you like. I mean, I'm good friends with the guy to whom I'm romantically attracted, and I think it's awesome. At least your object of interest has a favorable impression of you.

I don't think the OP necessarily thinks the woman "owes" him anything, rather he was disappointed because he was hoping she'd want to be more than friends, and she doesn't. For most people, no matter how strong they are emotionally, that stings. It doesn't necessarily mean they felt entitled, or even that they thought the rejection was a personal insult. Being blown off by some random attractive person in a bar is awkward, but most people get over it by the time they go home. But being romantically rejected by someone you've had strong feelings for is really painful for a lot of people. Probably the person has spent a lot of time imagining what a relationship would be like with said person, working up the courage to share their feelings, etc. and then in 2 seconds, their hopes are dashed. And as for being friends with someone you're in love with, I guess to me, it's better than not having him in my life at all, but when I've been in that situation, there's always the underlying wish that there could be something more there, but the constant reminder that he doesn't feel that way.

Trying to ruin a friendship with sex is like ruining ice cream with chocolate sprinkles. It just can't be done.
