Clearing up the "friend zone"

Up +96 Down

I'm so sick of people who complain about people who complain about being in the "friend zone." There seems to be some misconceptions about the friend zone and who gets put it in. Typically it seems that the woman puts the man in the friend zone and while that has been true for me many times, I have also put a few women there. There's another misconception the the "friend" only wants the sexual part of "taking things to the next level," probably from people who believe that the only difference between a casual friendship and a relationship is sex and not the new kind of love and feelings that you can explore with each other in a committed relationship. Finally, I keep seeing people defining the friend zone as the guy that won't make a move and therefore has no right to complain. I have known others (as well as myself) who have expressed his feelings only to be given the, "oh, well, I've only ever seen you as a friend" speech. It's alright if people want to try to just be friends, but if you can tell that some dude likes you, don't keep going on about how douchie all the guys you go out with are and how you wish they could be more like him. THAT is what guys complain about when they mention "the friend zone."
