Eight telling signs that you have been 'friend-zoned'

According to Wikipedia, Friend-zone is a situation in which one member of a friendship wishes to enter into a romantic or sexual relationship, while the other does not. Many are oblivious to these signs.

 

You are always the one who starts the conversation.

It has been two weeks of silence and when you meet up and start the conversation, all she gives is one- line cold answers. Just know you cannot make it past buddies.

Your missed calls are never returned

You call seven times a day and none of them is ever picked and to add salt to the injury, she returns none of them. Wait for no more signs - you have been friend-zoned.

He/She rarely replies to messages

If you are double texting whenever you are chatting on Whatsapp and all you receive are blue ticks, please stop wasting your time, you are in the friend-zone.

You never get intimate

If you never get past hugs and holding hands, stop hoping you will take things to the next level. You have already jumped in the friend-zone.

Your dates are always rejected

If you plan dates with her earlier, only to turn you down a day to the date, start packing your things. You are only a friend and you will forever be.

“You are like a brother/sister”

“Mike you are like my elder bro,” or “Jessica, you make me think of my sister Esther,” Run as fast as you can before you start convincing yourself that both of you have something special together.

You are dodged in public

You have gone to the mall together with a couple of friends and she is ducking you left, right and centre whenever you try to get an inch closer? Be comfortable as a friend.

“You and Mary make a good couple.”

If she keeps recommending girlfriends for you, it is time you start reinvesting and refocusing your feelings on someone who takes you seriously.
