Young Men, Here's How to Handle Being 'Friend Zoned' by a Girl

Young Men, Here's How to Handle Being 'Friend Zoned' by a Girl

Consider this, young gentlemen everywhere. You meet a girl you really like. You think she really likes you too. You tell her that you really like her. And she says to you, wait for it - "I like you too but as a friend. Let's just be friends."

You, sir, have officially been 'friend zoned.'

This video, made on the streets of Mumbai and posted on YouTube by Being Indian (also responsible for giving the city a general knowledge quiz), is a 4.45 minute lesson on the perils of being 'friend zoned' - which happens a lot more often than you think it does, apparently. In fact, relationships are like 'indoor games' now (we didn't say that, a wise young man in Mumbai did).

You've been 'friend zoned' if you've ever been told one or more of the below:

-I don't like you but my best friend does

-I don't want to break your heart

-Let's be friends first and then we'll see

-I have a boyfriend

Un-'friend zoning' is virtually impossible but you could try:


-Making her jealous by going out with someone else

-Ignoring her

-Being mysterious

-Buying a white Audi

No guarantees.

Finally, here are two sad life lessons to be learnt from the 'friend zoning' gyaan dispensed by the young and the restless of Mumbai:

-'Friend zoning' only happens to gents. The ladies are mostly always the 'friend zoners.'

-The only way to dodge being 'friend zoned' might possibly be to never ask a girl out at all (especially if you are a mechanical engineer).
