We'll both work, I think.Seldon2639 said:You're using it in a very different way from how most people do. Most people who use that term are basically saying:mrpenguinismyhomeboy said:Exactly. The Friend zone.
"oops, you screwed up. She would have banged you if you hadn't been so nice to her, but since you became her friend, she'll never see you as anything else" rather than the more realistic "all you could ever have been with her is friends, there's nothing that could have been done, accept it".
Work in the sense of "function as possible uses for the term", sure. Work in the sense of "both are statements reflective of reality", not a chance.mrpenguinismyhomeboy said:We'll both work, I think.

ummm as I said this happened about a year agoNoblePhilistineFox said:Testicles exploding in 3...2...1...wolfister said:"Oh you are so nice and I would totally date a guy like you, but I consider you a really good friend".
hmm, It seems as though you had the same problem, the way she worded it made you think that she didnt want to date you because she didnt want to jepordize the relationship you have now, and since you didnt either, you just quietly backed off...
she probably think that YOU dont want to date HER because you are friends and didnt want to screw up what you have, which you actually do.
so if she said that recently(a week at the most) then bring it up when you are alone together, and just mention "just curoius, why wouldnt you date me?"
and I may nt be a stud, but if she sais something like "because..." then thats the perfect time to make your move ^_^
DO IT NOW!!!!!
she likes you back, trust me
I just made your lives alot better
BEEN THERE DONE THAT....most of us (besides the assholes) have. you might be able to get her now...your not really good friends anymore...i say give it a shot..if not...idk...im sure there is another girl like that somewhere.....wolfister said:Guys and girls of the escapist have you ever gotten this line from someone you really wanted to date or get together with? If so I would like to hear your experience mainly because I am trying to understand why this line seems to be so bloody common.
My personal experience happened about a year ago all through high school I had known this girl she was kind of nerdy but really awesome. We did everything together we loved the same kinds of games, music, movies etc. and well during the friendship I had really started to develop feelings for her but she was with a guy who in all definitions was a total douche. So I back off stay the close friend until finally she wakes up and dumps the asshole. Well I console her like a good friend and about 2 months pass and I finally get up the nerve to ask her out, this is where one of the biggest mind fucks that i can remember happens to me, she says to me and i quote "Oh you are so nice and I would totally date a guy like you but I consider you a really good friend".
Now I quietly backed off and went to think about that one because it just does not make sense to me. I mean if she would date a guy like me then um why not just date me? Please Escapist do your thing and post your experience and thoughts on this I would love to hear them.
edit: You know I would have been happy to keep the friendship, but when I told her how I felt well things just started to fall apart and the friendship slowly dissolved. Now I talk to her maybe once every two months if that and I know she is again dating a guy that uses her. it well really breaks my heart that even though she didn't want me she could have at least found a guy that wouldn't treat her like shit she doesn't deserve that really no one does.

Why thank you, I get quite upset when people use this as an excuse.Seldon2639 said:If you're only nice when you think you have a chance with a girl, rather than being nice as your default position, you're not a "niceguy", you're a manipulative douche.
You're not losing because you're too friendly and nice, you're just an unsuccessful manipulator.
