with the Friendzone thing, and not really talking about the show, I wonder if it's a 50/50 split or is it usually one way, like the guy trying to get with the girl.
There was someone I hanged out with in high school that was tomboyish. She was attractive but was more like a softball girl. She liked a few guys in the group that hanged out but they didn't feel the same way back.
I just can't see that many situations unless it's family friends, or the fact the person has alot of friends of the opposite sex that would bring this situation up.
Dunno, but I've always thought the friendzone was a stupid idea to begin with. I think girls know when their guy friends like them, and usually, that interest is a big part of why they are around, they drag it out and feelings grow stronger and that old line comes up "I don't want to ruin our friendship." Well, too late for that. Ladies, if you have a guy friend, and you're gonna friendzone him, you probably KNOW he likes you, set your boundaries early, trust me, it helps.
Or maybe people actually just want to be friends? This friendzone ***is really getting old. Not everyone is gonna be interested in you, so get over it and try somewhere else =.=

The problem comes when one person sees that the other is into them and sorta leads them on or lets them think things are going somewhere rather than cut them off early. Now if they have been told the other person isn't looking to be anything but friends and the first keeps trying/hoping anyways that's another matter, but it's really not uncommon for one party to think things are developing and the other not do anything to dissuade them because they don't want to break their heart or whatever.

is this a global thing or just 'murica spilling over the internet? I think a lot of people in our culture are unhappy (maybe just the internet vocal fedora'd gentlemans), unrewarding lives or disappointing others or whatever, and I think we've been taught 1man+1woman=happiness so that makes for awkward relationships with anyone of the opposite secks not interested in banging

Oh i'm not saying people can't be ***, but there's also a lot of (mostly) men that seem to think if they are just nice enough and do enough for the girl they like, she will eventually give in and date them.. and then somehow they are surprised if that isn't working out and the girl is a *** for 'friendzoning' them >.>
I guess it's a global thing, but it feels like people just get more and more unhappy with their lifes in general over the last years ~~ Maybe that's just because people are constantly connected now and sharing every thought they have somewhere on the interwebs iunno
On top of what Headstrong said, sometimes females are afraid to be upfront because they'll lose a friend over it. The whole "a guy isn't talking to you because he wants to be your friend, he just wants to bang/be with you". If a guy is like that they probably aren't worth the time. But, yeah, there's that.

This may come as a surprise, but as Ina touched on, there are people out there, male and female, who like to lead people on and torment them for their own amusement, there are others who like to ignore things till they become a problem. It's not hard to become friends with someone you've liked in the past if it's cut off early. I've done it.
Regardless of all that, this is the stupidity that MTV has become, it's all drama.
Finals for all age brackets today. Really hope the teams are more varied than they were yesterday, but as long as the matches are interesting, I suppose it's okay regardless. :x

It can be done, you can make a friend out of them, but it's less hurtful to actually be upfront about it than to destroy someone when they've probably done alot of thinking and confidence building, after they tell you.
I definitely have a strong mistrust of people on top of a sever difficulty to decypher their behavioural patterns, however I cannot possibly imagine that there are people that are just evil for pure sadistic pleasure. At least not on a large scale.

You can't /make/ someone a friend if their intentions are different. Just like you can't make them be romantically involved with you. I'm not trying to say it's right to string someone along. It's just one reason why it happens, if the girl even realizes it's happening. It's not always the case, which sucks.
Also, hints are not always to obvious to everyone. "It's obvious I want more." Communicate! Only real way to be obvious. If you can't for whatever reason, well that's a whole different subject. >.>
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
