The Dreaded Friend Zone

Dear Ask 3 Guys,

So, do guys put girls in "the friend zone" too? And, if the girl and guy are really good friends, but they are sleeping together, is there ever a chance of her getting out of the friend zone?

Thanks...

Ronnie's Take:

Yes, there is a chance. I have seen many FWBs turn into positive relationships. Just don't have any expectations, because the odds are against it. It's all about when the person is ready for a relationship. Sometimes the guy knows he couldn't fall for the girl because of incompatible things, but he still likes sex. Good luck with this slippery slop situation.

I don't think that anything is impossible...

Let me also say this, it is much easier to for a girl to move out of the friend zone than a guy to move out. Once a woman puts a man in the friend zone, that's a wrap! If two friends are sleeping together and they are young (under the age of 30, for most) - they are playing with fire. Someone is going to get hurt.

I think some guys do put girls in the friend zone. Not all, but some. I think the practice is much more common for women.

Don't worry about getting "out of the friend zone"... Worry about communication of feelings. If you communicate with someone who truly cares about you, nothing will scare them away.

I hope this helps.

Eddie's Take:

Well, looks like you are the girl that is great to hang out with and bang all rolled into one. The odds are definitely not in your favor right now. You are giving it up with no expectations at all. Can this guy every look at you in a truly romantic way? Possibly, but I doubt it. If you have fallen for the guy, then you have one shot to tell him how you feel. The caveat is that it may ruin what you currently have with him. If you are prepared for the worst, then take a shot.

Basically, you have created a really convenient relationship for this guy. He gets all the perks--- just without having the girlfriend. What happens if he brings another woman into the picture? Does he just stop having sex with you. This is an awkward situation for you to be in.

So, tell him how you feel, or simply STOP BANGING HIM!
