Umm… she covered that. And that’s exactly what she said. Fact of the matter is that you already discussed the situation (he finding you attractive) and friend-zoned him. You’re like brother and sister now, but at one time, he didn’t see you that way. She’s not saying you CAN’T be friends with a guy because of these possible feelings, the study and she are saying that it’s possible the guy (or girl) can be friends, but one will have more of an attraction to the other until the sentiment is either nipped in the bud or acted upon positively. Get cho life, hun.

Or in an equation:
Guy+Girl= Possible Friendship/Soulmate/Fling
(Guy+Girl)Friendzoned=Friendship

If youre not close friends, there doesnt have to be attraction, but if you are then i think probably there is at least a little. doesnt mean he’d ever act on his feelings though. i read something that is more or less true: there are 3 reasons why a guy would befriend you; 1. he likes/is attracted to you. 2. you have mutual friends, or a friend is dating a friend, or something of the sort. 3. you use to date and have gotten over it. not always true, theres exceptions to everything, but its surprising how much this applies!

Okay, this is totally untrue and I’m disappointed that the author of this article thinks it is.
Just because you haven’t experienced something does not mean it doesn’t exist. My best friend is a guy and things are going fine between us. He probably finds me somewhat attractive, and we’ve addressed that issue and moved on. We’re like brother and sister. Hooking up would be awkward and we’ve discussed that already. People who say guys and girls can’t be friends obviously is not mature enough to handle that kind of a friendship.

I actually believe the study becoz i’m actually bffs with a guy and it so happens that I like him! Yep but that means that my other guy friends that i dont like actually have crushes on me? eewww??

I agree. I have a close friend in 5th grade and he admitted he has a crush on me so I started distancing myself from him, it’s kinda embarrassing you know. Then in 9th grade I have best guy friend, we’ve been just friends just that year and we got really close, one day he asked me to go to school with him to get his yearbook. I agreed and decided to ask his ex-gf to come with us to surprise him. After we went to the school we went to the mall, after a while his ex left so it’s just me and him. He took me to 7-11 to wait for my ride and he said goodbye. That night his ex told me that my friend asked me to go with him because he wants to be alone with me, then my friend texted me that he likes me. We’re still friends even though I know he likes me, now that 2 years had passed we’re still friends and still contacts me. I just don’t know who he likes now because whenever I ask him who he likes he kept on saying he’s enjoying his “bachelor” life.

I don’t think you should stop hanging out with guys that like you a little me just because of that. That’s probably why some guys that are your bestfriends won’t come out and tell you or there best girl friend that they like the. Because they think it’ll ruin there friendship with you

I had a lot of guy friends and one of them I pretty liked me a little more than a friend because he always tried to make me laugh. Then When I was in 4th grade one of my friends actually asked me out but I think that was a dare idk. But I have plenty of other guy friends who I’m sure have no romantic feelings for me so it could go either way

This is why having gay guy friends is great, and I don’t mean you should go out and hunt down a gay guy to become your friend. However, if you happen to know a guy who’s gay and you get along with, they really can be your best guy friends (as long as there isn’t any risk of YOU falling for them, because that’s one you will never have). If you have a male cousin around the same age as you who you get along with, that also helps, since there’s no risk there, either. It’s sad, though, because I usually have a much easier time hanging out with guys and being myself around them than I do girls (probably because I’m not into guys), but there have been too many times where I get to know a guy and think he’s great to hang out with, because we’ve got a lot of the same interests and he seems like a nice person, but eventually I can tell he’s interested in being more than friends. I’ve had to stop hanging out with a few of my friends for this reason, and it makes me sad.
