Not really, I can just get info on her by browsing her FB stuff.

I still think you need a ninja squad, just to cover your bases.

6. Don't stare at her tits!

[up] Those two aren't a major issue online. XD

Also, had another successful conversation, and now another lull.

Rock on.. I left a message with the nursing student about going hiking sometime, and I hadn't heard back for a few days, so I figured she'd decided she didn't want to see me and was putting that out of my head, but she called me this morning and apologized and said she was working pretty much the whole weekend and super busy, and that she totally wants to go hiking later this week.

That's how you know you're in the clear with a girl up to the point you're at, when she takes the initiative to call you back and wants to talk to you, she seems really cool.

She's also really responsible, which is a plus, she's working two jobs and going to college, I love hard working women. grin

Try your best to make her laugh a bit, maybe even smile, Don't go to far though, or you end in the dreaded friendzone (this from experience)
This... this seems like bullshit. You can't ruin your chances at romance with someone just by making them laugh a lot. If anything that would improve them, though it really depends on the person.

Making someone laugh a lot doesn't put you in the friendzone. Not being clear about your feelings, having ulterior motives, and treating whomever you're attracted to like an object to be won puts you in the goddamned friendzone.

also the basic fact that the other party isn't attracted enough to pursue you on romantic terms.

(deal with it).

i'm kind of annoyed how much people lament over the bullshit friendzone. it's just. it sucks I KNOW but, please don't expend too much energy on something so trivial.

I wonder which came first, the friendzone or the entitlement issues?

Oh come on, guys. You can't tell me that hearing "let's just be friends" doesn't hurt. Sure, you can live with it, but you can live with a broken arm, too.

It can hurt, yes. It's more of how people deal with it that others have a distaste for.

Hurt about rejection is alright. Acting like a whiny brat about being rejected is not. That's the difference between normal people and friendzoners.

I guess we could go... wherever we please.

i've been """"friendzoned"""" before, i guess, and yes it did hurt, but the thing is, i got over it eventually. be a man and don't fucking linger on it. there are a million goddamn fish in the sea; next time take extra steps to prevent being """"friendzoned."""" make your intentions clear from the start.

it isn't that difficult, guys.

That's not a problem inherent with the term itself, though.

Yes it is. "I got the "let's just be friends" talk" is different than "s/he friendzoned me"

How? It seems like the exact same thing to me, and I see no reason not to use them interchangably.

-burst back into TVT-

The action of being 'Friendzoned' implies that someone has done you a wrong or disservice because it's as if someone has done something to you, while 'just being friends' lacks that implication.

It might be to you, but I've seen situations where it's become starkly obvious the difference, so I prefer to have that knowledge on hand.
