wildtrac77 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You go out on a few dates with someone, they then friendzone you but still want to hang out as friends, If you still like this person on a romantic level but happy to be friends how would you handle going from dating to being friends but at the same time keeping the door slightly open for something to happen dating wise in the future between you?? Basically do you treat them as just a friend and no flirting etc? and what about making yourself less available to them? to start off with and what do you say if they want to hang out with you on a 1 to 1 basis after they have friendzoned you, what can you suggest doing?? as its not a date but your not good friends either... I would be intrested to hear people's top tips.. Link to post Share on other sites
Philosoraptor Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You don't. If the two of you clearly want two different things you can either accept that and lose the romantic feelings or cut contact until you want nothing but a friendship. Waiting around hoping they will change their mind will just cause unnecessary suffering. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree about that and you only keep the door open for them slightly whilst getting on with your life/dating others etc but say the person that friendzoned you does flirt with you a bit but then pulls back ( ie : not sure what they want ) and told you that they want a friendship first and then seeing if you both want to move up to the next level at some stage down the road??

fortyninethousand322 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You handle it like a man. You make your interest known and you interact with her in a way that you both feel comfortable. Meaning if it's not too emotionally painful, treat her the way you would treat any of your friends. Don't become a doormat. If you can't be comfortable being around her, then don't bother with trying to be friends. Link to post Share on other sites
