The friend zone is a figure of speech for what happens when one person wants to take things to the next level romantically but the other person just wants to be friends which occurs mostly with guys.
Friend zone is an innocent, harmless but an extreme ugly, dreadful and toxic concept that is a living nightmare which derogates the importance of friendship.
Signs that you’re being thrown into the curb by a girl or she’s not interested in you:
a. She not interested in your jokes.
b. Asks you about other women.
c. Addresses to you as a friend.
d. She avoids been seen with you.
e. She talks about her hookups
f. she’s so casual, etc.
The following are types of friend zone you or someone close to you might find yourselves in;
1. I need some money zone
There is always that girl in your contact list that will always have a soft spot in your heart. What she wants, you are at her service.
Even though you do not talk daily, she occasionally shows ups with small talks then follows the infamous phrase “I need a favor.”
2. The ultra friend zone
This is the zone where she tells you most of her stuff however uncomfortable they might be to you.
She will narrate how her boyfriend is treating her, how she wants more sex, others even tell you about the guys who are hitting on them and they dare ask for your opinion.
She is too comfortable sharing all this with you despite your feelings towards her.
3. The conventional friend-zone
This is where majority of us belong. She meets a guy and something sparks instantly.
He’s cute or smart or something that just keeps the girl interested… until she finds out that there’s something not absolutely perfect about him. And pap! You become a regular guy on her inbox.
4. The strategic friend-zone
Do you know that girls know their next boyfriend long before she even breaks up with her current lover? In this zone, you are being booked for future use.
She knows your strengths and definitely she is attracted to you but unfortunately, she has a boyfriend. In her mind she knows she will eventually make you bae, but when she is good and ready.
Until then she kind of put you on hold, for a later date or as one of her options.
5. Social Media friend-zone
You slide into her DM, initiate a chat and boom! You all get along so well. You guys laugh and share intimate little details about each other’s life.
But when you prompt that you want to meet up, she suddenly goes offline. Not everything on the Internet is real.
6. The ‘look like a couple’ friend zone
The ‘victim’ will be used as a pretend bae, the two may look good together.
They’ll take cute pictures together, maybe even hold hands in public, and everyone would think there’s something between them. However, in fact they are just friends.
7. The party friend-zone
Because she needs someone, she can feel safe with you while popping the bottles. She will tag you along and party as hard as she can. After all, you got her including the drinks and food, don’t you?
Depicting the “friend zone” as some kind of appalling affliction cruelly imposed onto a scorned lover ultimately devalues friendship, turning it into something secondary or “inferior” to being in a relationship.
She’s not just interested in you as you wish she was and the faster you come to realization with this few signs, the sooner for you to move on.
