Do you have feelings for someone but have the sinking feeling that the feelings might not be mutual? Check out these five revealing signs you’re stuck in the friend zone to navigate your way through love and just friends!
- The More the Merrier
If you’re looking one of the most telling signs you’re stuck in the friend zone, this is it.
Do you invite your special someone for an outing for just the two of you but he always brings other friends?
Sure, it can randomly happen a few times but if your friend always finds a way to bring others to hang out, it might be his way of gently letting you know he just wants to be friends.
2. All in the Family
Another way to tell if you might be stuck in the friend zone is if you’re frequently referred to as a sister.
Think about it, if you had feelings for one of your friends, would you always refer to them as a sibling?
Probably not!
If you want a relationship with someone, you’ll likely drop hints about your feelings but not about being brother and sister!
3. Girl Talk
Does your friend always talk about girls he’s dating in detail?
Does he talk about these things like he would with a guy friend?
If your friend talks about girls he’s interested in or girls that he’s dated and he’s not trying to make you jealous or gauge your reaction, it’s a good sign that he’s not into you.
Have you ever divulged all this info to a guy you were interested in?
4. No Attraction
Another sign you could be friend zoned is if there’s no flirting or signs of physical attraction.
Do you and your friend frequently kid around but there’s no flirting?
No innocent touching of the arm or hand?
Maybe you flirt with your friend but he responds with harmless jokes like he would with any other friend.
If there’s an attraction between you two, there will be signs.
5. He’s Too Comfortable
If you’re interested in someone, regardless of whether it’s a friend or not, you’ll want them to see you look good, right?
If your friend doesn’t make much effort to clean up or smell good, he might only see you as a friend.
I’m not saying he’s going to show up at your house in a tuxedo and top hat but he’s going to make some effort to look good.
Yes, you want to like him for him but if you’re attracted to someone, you can’t help but put some effort into your appearance.
