so sometimes it's not actually friend zone and some people are to derpy to tell sometimes. My advice.... Be straightforward, and don't play games... Also there is nothing wrong with being good friends first. my boyfriend became my bestfriend before we got together, and I'm sure I became like one to him. I gave hints of course of me liking him, but I also knew based on things he told me that he probably wasn't going to ask me out which I understood why. So I asked him out myself. I've made a lot of the moves on him, and that's because he wants to respect me because of past experiences. So basically it's to let him know when I'm comfortable, and let him know if I want something. I like making the moves anyways. So yes ladies you can make moves too, and again guys and gals... Be straightforward!! If they don't feel the same then refer back to Cherry's advice, and go out and have fun. Don't waste your time trying to get them to like you, and don't spend your time moping. Besides... Atleast if you are straightforward you save yourself from constantly wondering "what if", or feeling like you wasted your time waiting around to find out how they feel just to be told they don't feel a thing. That's time and emotion that could be spent on someone who does like you. And also, as I've seen said as well... There is that chance that once one sees you aren't chasing after them anymore, then they may start chasing after you. Anyway... That's me. ️
