Hey, it's surprisingly easy to fix. You just need to send the right signals to get the point across.

What are the right signals? I hear you ask. Well, I'll give you a hint; the human penis is shaped like, and can function quite nicely as a semaphore.

Hop to it.

This is the best definition of the friendzone I've come across.

Urban Dictionary: Just Friends

Awesome you two made my day with these comments!

The friend zone.
The shear, unrestrained, horror of someone wanting to be your friend, because it happens that you are awesome in a platonic sort of way, to them.

Never mind, if it makes you feel better she probable didn't find you attractive before she became friends with you either. And if that wasn't the case then it was just something born of ignorance and if you had gotten together it might not have lasted and that crushing inner pain might have just been worse.

Unless she's lying, but it's probable best not to assume she is lying about this and take it at face value.

That's probably part of it, also women seem to really want what they can't have. I've found invariably I can get any woman I want, so long as I don't express any interest at all.

Unfortunately, they tend not to be willing to do anything more than flirt which sort of pisses me off.

Also, what's the deal with women that are involved that flirt anyways? Seriously, that sucks even worse than the ones that want to just be friends.
I remember the one from bash. But, that 3rd one is pretty appropriate as well. I've noticed that women seem to throw around the love word with little to no appreciation for the gravity of it.

Men may not say it as often, but at least it typically means something.

I'm not going to pretend like I would have any idea what I'm talking about (I'm still with my first girlfriend), but I'm still going to suggest that it's part of their natural demeanor.

Eh, that aspect alone is what drives me to not want anything to do with the women that flirt with me. It makes me feel cheap realizing that invariably when I bother to hit on one of them that she's in a relationship and didn't really mean it.

My standards aren't really that high, but I do expect that once we've been together for a while that she'll stop flirting with random strangers. I don't personally think that's asking too much.

Fortunately, in the modern era there is online dating. That at least is a bit safer. Might end up brutally murdered, but it's less likely that they'll ruin your life.

And no, I'm not hopelessly cynical, I've just known way too many women to think otherwise.

I have also noticed that the naturally flirty ladies that I know tend to be single, and if they aren't for some reason, they will soon be (and not always of their own volition). You're not the only one who isn't going to put up with such women, and rightly so.

Woah, woah, woah. Way too much of a generalization here. There are plenty of guys who will tell a girl they love her just to get in her pants.

People are tricky and defy easy categories.

Ye-e-e-s-s-s... You can get sudden outburst of hysterical screaming out of them if you keep this up long enough. It's hilarious.

I'm in/out of relationships often enough that I don't really feel bad about breaking up like that.

But then again, the "friend" part of the statement doesn't really count. I hadn't had any real contact with any of the girls after breaking up, so it's either a die-hard friend or a past "acquaintance".

They especially hate it when you tell them you don'[t really need them because you can always provide your own entertainment :D.

Damn straight. As someone who's a firm believer in the school of thought that if she'll pursue me just for ignoring her, there's nothing stopping her doing the same to someone else as soon as I acknowledge her existence, I have to say watching the stupid fucks begging to be noticed sometimes for several years on end is quite an amusing thing to watch. This applies fourfold if she's the type who'll never make any direct moves because she thinks the male always has to make the first move (and most likely pay for everything), regardless of who's interested first.

Why yes, I am rather cynical about this sort of thing.
