Personal Narrative Essay: Welcome To The Friendship Zone

Improved Essays
Welcome to the friend zone. I hope you enjoy your stay.
I am being facetious, of course. I hope you have not enjoyed being in the friend zone. It sucks. Of course, friendship is great, but this is not what you want when you think about a relationship with this pretty girl.
Plus, is it really true friendship when what you want out of your "friend" is something else entirely than what she is providing? You can't be a true friend when you do things for her while hoping, secretly, that she will develop romantic feelings for you. And most of the time, the girl is not entirely oblivious to it either. She may not intentionally put you in the friend zone, but on some level, she probably knew that you have feelings for her. However, since you are not

You took too long to move your interaction with her in the direction of a romantic relationship. You treat her as a friend, or at least you pretend to be, although you are being unusually nice to someone who is just your friend. Then, you hope that one day she will fall in love with you, and make the first move. Most men who fall in this category did not even realize that they are doing …show more content…
However, since you are not being clear enough with your intentions, just like everything in life, she moved on. You are not the only charming guy in the world, after all.

It is also possible that both are the reasons why you are in the friend zone. She is not that into you, and you never showed your attraction to her anyway. So you were never in the consideration, really. If you think that this is the case, there is no need to despair more than you already have. The steps to get out of the friend zone, in both cases, are fairly similar, as you will find out as you read on. Needless to say, now you know how you can avoid getting in the friend zone assuming you are her "type", or at least somewhat resembles it: show her from early on, clearly, that you are interested in her.
The thing is, even if a woman "knows" intuitively that you want to have a romantic relationship with her, and she wants it too, chances are she won't go for it. She wants to see whether you are going to step up and risk everything to make it happen. She wants to see these alpha qualities that you have. Women won't take that step, because it is not in their gender role. So fight your fears, and just go for it. Don't wait for the perfect moment, because often the perfect moment never

    Throughout all of my years in school, I have struggled to keep friends or simply find a suitable friend group for myself. This came to my attention in recent years when I met a girl that I knew would change my life. Grace Puffer and I had been acquainted with each other for most of our lives, a normal occurrence in a small town, but it wasn't until our choir director sat us next to one another in the front row of our ensemble that I really got to know her. For most of that year, Grace and I were only what you would consider "school friends" until a situation of dire need arose. In July of 2016, Grace Puffer called me desperately asking if I would be a character in a play she was directing as part of her senior project.…

What was said way back in the eighteenth century is still relevant today, as are many of Franklin’s aphorisms. I myself have lived a personal example of this striking proverb within my lifetime, and have lived to tell the tale. This time last year I was a lowly freshman.…

    Many people become friends that are like them and are interested in what they like or need so that the other person can be useful to them. It is more a convenience type of friendship because something is wanted once that reason is not there the friendship ends. This is something that is seen all the time and over and over it occurs in everyone’s life. I also agree that it is rare to find good friendships that want nothing in return but the good as the ultimate goal. Aristotle says there is only about one or two friends that a person will ever find in life.…
