Friend Zone..

My experiences suggest that the notion of a forever-sealed-off "friend zone" is grossly exaggerated. I think that many men who blame a rejection on being prior friends with a woman have simply failed to attract her, physically or socially or whatever. Women, as much as men, can harbor secret growing desires for men in their lives who were originally seen as "just friends."

Well said. A "sexless" appearance isn't necessarily hard to change, either. Work out a little, different hairstyle, more fitted clothes.... Threads like this should focus more on appearance unless that clearly isn't part of the problem.

why is this thread still going if all the questions were already answered on page one?

If I want a girl as a friend, but she wants to bang me, how can I get her into the friend zone without hurting her feelings?

You can recognize this has gone on because Bob says " I'd like to **** Jane, but not as much as I want to **** Connie"

Nice.

I've made girls cuddle bitches of mine before. But then I end up caving and banging them.

I think most girls-who-are-friends probably have boyfriends themselves. Of course, that's apparently foreign to everyone in this thread, because you all are just swimming in a sea of sexually available women.

Seriously, I want your lives.

Anyway, I got a girl's number recently, under the pretext that we would go out to clubs as friends. She already has a boyfriend, but it's worth it just so I don't have to go out by myself. Every few months or so when I try to go to a club (ie the kind that doesn't have a pool table,) I always look around and see everybody there with their friends and get depressed because I have no choice but to have to go everywhere by myself. I usually end up talking to nobody there- literally- except for the bartenders.

Now that I'm typing this out, it occurs that an important aspect to this story is that she started talking to me first. It's not like I hit on her and got instantly demoted. In any case, she's attractive, and undoubtedly has many attractive friends.

Most people on the internet are socially marsupialed.

Wait... was that directed at me?

I recently learned that guys I play pool with gave me the sobriquet "Buffalo Bob" after the character in Joe Dirt, in turn based on Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. So apparently my self-perception may not match up with consensus perception.
