b52s Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Well, I spoke with a single gal that was divorced about a year and a half ago, she was dating a guy for about a year, and broke up with him, turns out....she had known this guy for 10 years. And the 2 guys she's dated SINCE her divorce from her HS Sweetheart she'd had been friends with forever. That being said, I guess that proves these guys were never in the friendzone...or had been in the FZ and did get out?
WTRanger Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah, but those relationships didn't last long did they?. It sounds as if she was simply going with what she knew was comfortable. I'd be willing to bet she went into those relationships with old friends knowing full well that she was going to end them. She just wanted some comfort, so she went with what she knew. She probably didn't want the drama of meeting someone new and possible getting rejected by them. So in reality, they always were and always will be in the friendszone.

No relationships last long, friendzone or no.
D-Jam Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 You can get out of the FZ....it just doesn't happen as often as guys wish it would. It's no different than the girl who is only sex in his eyes wishing and hoping she can move up the ladder from FB to girlfriend.
phineas Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Or, they just stayed out of the FZ alltogether by not turning into a helper monkey in hopes of culling her favor. I learned far too late in life that I shouldn't do jack squat for a woman unless she is my GF & having sex with me. The only exception is woman that agree to return the favors up front. I will bet this womans guy friends were not doormats. If they were then Yikes!
sumdude Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 They just temporarily moved up into the Friends With Benefits Zone. Which for many women is the way to get over the last relationship, get some lovin, ego boost etc while waiting for the next big thing to come around.
BG1985 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I think the term "friend zone" is overused. Just because a guy is friends with a girl doesn't mean he can never be in a relationship with her. If a girl is attracted to one of her guy-friends, he's not in the friend zone. The friend zone is reserved for guy-friends for whom the girl holds no attraction.
Miko Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 The friend zone is reserved for guy-friends for whom the girl holds no attraction. The friend zone is reserve for guy-friends who've acted like doormats hence no attraction has occurred.

The friend zone is reserved for guy-friends for whom the girl holds no attraction. I agree with this. A lot of girls actually require a small friend zone. It's possible to think a few of your guy friends are cute, but not know them well enough to go onto something more serious and start dating them. Some women require more time than others to develop romantic feelings about a man.
