[Closed] Help needed! Getting out of the friend zone!

Guys the OP has done well- its basically a troll. He's got alot of time on his hands admittedly but hes successfully trolled us all. Hook line and sinker...

Most obvious point of the day goes to.....

Ah... thats ok then. Definitely not 3 times a day then?

Seems to me, that you've ended up like jonah tonto. Friends [i]without [/i]benefits. Especially if you've got to sit through a musical

If you did end up with her, would stuff like that figure prominently? If so, Its not too late to forget the whole thing. I know all relationships are about compromise, but there are limits....

Fair point. She probably hates musicals.

Harsh that Binners as their is nothing like a good musical IMHO

Real men singing for Binners

Ollie reed sings on Oliver as well iirc

A great musical is great an not great one is painful to watch

JY - Just out of interest: how many times a day do you phone your mum? 😉

Proper laugh out loud moment there
😆
Chapeau

Lol

my mates reckon she was a 'one under'

Wut?

I read this thread when it was about 3 pages long and just come back to it at 10 pages and you've still not done the deed! So to speak.

You seriously need to strap a pair on and get on with it or move on.

I really liked Les Mis when I went.

Cats however was complete bilge.

Wut?[/i]

When you jump in front of a train.

Way to bring the thread down 🙁

Junkyard et all are you going to see Les Mis at the cinema?

I've heard gas is going to be used for this euthenasia program...

there is nothing like a good musical and webbers stuff is indeed nothing like it
FWIW you are more informed than me re the cinema release

No

Jesus wept OP you're gayer than me.

just forward her this thread

and put as all out of your misery

Junkyard - Member
FWIW you are more informed than me re the cinema release

Only cos it were on Today this morning.

I've almost lost the will to live after the first couple of pages, so could someone please answer me this:

Has the OP finally managed to sail the skin boat into tuna harbour or what?

Feed her some Rohip whilst watching Les Mis and go out for a bike ride!

turns out I can't write anything to do with smashing any rear doors in. With out it being changed by the mods.

Why don't you text her a poem?

Learn some flamenco dancing, you'll have perfected it by the time you've got the guts to door knob her. By then she'll have probably door knobbed all your mates.

sail the skin boat into tuna harbour

OP - Attention, sensible useful advice follows.

I've been in your position. Faffed around for ages 'being friends', then got fed up with that but carried on, moped etc. Then realised that the friendship was over as soon as I realised I was no longer happy with it. Therefore asking her was the only hope of remaining on good terms, either by getting it on or getting it out in the open and getting over it.

Therefore you MUST, for her sake if not yours and ours, MTFU, grow a pair etc. and just ask. Forget the face-to-face thing if she keeps cancelling. If nothing else she'll be flattered. Worst case it'll be awkward. Give a sh*t? It's better than what's going on now.

(For the curious, she said no in my case - natch - but we got over it and I could go back to listening to watch she was saying rather than thinking about what might be. And stealing furtive glances.)

& don't take to heart any of the ragging you've had from me and others, I reckon we're all on your side really. And we know you're not gay.

As the man says, get it done.

And bear in mind too ...

what's the wurst that could happen.

It's not too late for a mix tape, done correctly can never fail.

Is today the day of the lunch date and we get some closure on this thread?

Well the lunch is on at 1

Where should I take her to lunch in Ealing?

Your bedroom.

sail the skin boat into tuna harbour

think twice about dropping anchor in poo bay on the first date though..

easy brown or difficult pink? etc

easy brown or difficult pink? etc

This threads really gone downhill

Where should I take her to lunch in Ealing?

That's close enough to make lunch a spectator sport.

Well the lunch is on at 1

Where should I take her to lunch in Ealing?

Good luck 🙂

Well I would imagine we will be out or a couple of hours....

Currently just enjoying London traffic

Have we managed to arrange a stw [s]stalker[/s] spy for this? Any updates?!

It could be a long afternoon if she feels the same! Alcohol making the beast with two backs more food etc.

What am I thinking! It's only going to end in tears.

So lunch was at one-should be all done with by now. Is no news good or bad?

Agree I only get 30 minutes for lunch!

Jibbed it?

The people await

No news, could be good or bad

I'm betting on a no show.

I'm betting on a feelings not mutual. I can't think of a single time either my friends or I have got into a relationship with any girls who we've been close friends with for years. Slept with / kissed etc when drunk, just never leads to anything more, normally you're "just friends" for a reason. Hope wellwellwell proves me wrong tho!

waiting for the outcome of this is actually driving me nuts.

(waits..)

I'm 99% certain that this is a massive wind up. The hopeless romantic in me wants to be proved wrong but the world weary sceptic is sensing approaching disappointment.

GET ON WITH IT.
And update please.

HES TROLLING

My money is on a long conversation, and tears as he realises she's right and he really needs to address the surpressed issues of his sexuality!

We won't hear from him, I'm afraid. He's thrown off his baggage and is right now enthusiastically singing 'I will survive' at the top of his lungs, on a sweaty dance floor with a Freddie Mercury lookalike

i think there's [s]three[/s] four potential scenarios at the moment
1. He's trolling
2. He's crying into his pint of gin to mend his broken heart
3. He's balls deep
[Edit] 4. He's balls deep in a lovely gentleman named terry (that ones for binners)

i await to find out which

nah, I like to think he's in full-on Shock'n'Awe, as trademarked by the mighty hora himself

It's Christmas; let us dream 😥

1. He's trolling
2. He's crying into his pint of gin to mend his broken heart
3. He's balls deep

4. He's in the bath, bathing in a soup of her oh so not into him, values him more as a friend, creeped out by his confession, liquidised bodyparts..

😯

Ok, so I just dropped her off.

It does indeed seem like I'm the gay best friend. I asked her if she thought we could be any more then just friends. She thought about it and said no.

I'm now contemplating if I should take no for an answer.....

yunki - do you need to add bananas for texture or will she go without ?

(I use the word "go" advisedly here)

awwwww, poor wellwellwell - off to the rohypnol shop for you, young man

🙁

Take no as the answer. Or if not its time for a rohypoccino

😆 This is where that classic line "lets not turn this rape into a murder" is appropriate.

I would butcher from frozen with a circular saw ala muddydwarf on that other thread, blend, and add tomato and non-vegetarian Lea and Perrin's (to help her 'go') for a Very Bloody Mary frozen smoothie

From one man to another - and I speak as a man of the world, drawing on quarter of a century of dating experience - I have to put a virtual arm around your shoulder, congratulate you on your tenacity and hard work and simply say "Go and bulb her best mate. Do it well, do it repeatedly and buy her flowers afterward".

Edit - if best mate is unavailable then her sibling/mother/aunt etc is also a viable option.

Well it got off to a rocky start, we went to Santa Maria for pizza where one of the first conversations was about how her and her friends were having a discussion if men and women can do things together and not be on a date.

Obviously she was firmly in the 'it doesn't have to be a date' camp. I nearly got up and walked out there and then... but once I negotiated that I decided that it was now or never. So I casually asked her if she thought that we could ever be more then friends. And she said no, and then she asked if I thought that and I said yes..... To which she replied that's really sweet.

Then went to the red lion for dessert before going shopping for presents for my nice. Then we shared a crepe before I dropped her home.

So usually for us we see each other about once every other month, but as I was dropping her off we discussed that we we're seeing each other again in 10days and she replied, 'good, that's not too long to wait.....'

It felt almost the closet we have been even though she said no....

At least you managed to spell crepe correctly 😉

Please take the No as a final answer and go off during the Christmas period and find yourself a lovely lady.

Cut your loses, move on.

You can always re visit the situation/young lady in the future at which point you may get a warmer response.

Life is too short for hanging your hat of hope on any hook. 'she's looking forward to seeing you in ten days time"

Lose yourself in some meaningless and totally depraved sex then go and ride your bike and tomorrows another day.

Good luck

See my earlier posts: you've planted the seed, play it cool and let it do its job, it's working away in her brain as we speak. Sometimes it's a long game.

In the meantime, you're a free man, roll the dice elsewhere and see what comes up.

hanging your hat of hope on any hook

Did you invent that yourself or is it from a Jackie Collins?

Been there and go the t shirt.....

Although I have knocked several out thinking of her sister......

Although I have knocked several out thinking of her sister......

what's that movie where she's naked on that high swing..?

aaaah, sweet youthful memories

Good on ya mate. Now you know and you can move on (though as others have said it's a long game and who knows what might happen in the future, but best not wait...).

Glad she took it well even if it wasn't the answer you'd hoped for.

Now you know she's not interested, the best thing to do is go straight out tonight & plough any slut you can score.

Sorry mate... bad news... But... now you know.... It took courage and balls to risk it...

Well done fella.

you've planted the speed

He hasn't, she said no

so, now you can post pictures of her with impunity

Give the man some hope, the challenge was to keep this thread going to Christmas.

If there's another get together within 10 days.... then there is hope

i was going to go with something filthy and flippant but i don't think you deserve it.
well done on behaving how you have and altough i don't think you should pin too many hopes on it - all the best in ten days time

With this Freudian slip

closet

I declare you the gay friend she still has.

Now go and find someone for you. She isn't.

What you need to do, is get yourself home and have a rigorous session of cranking. I spent a good proportion of my early 20s cranking about unrequited love, and it made me into the man I am today.

See [url= http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cranking ]cranking[/url] if you're unsure.

what's that movie where she's naked on that high swing..?

Is that The Stud....(think that's the first thing I saw on video as a kid !)

could be could be.. s'ringing bells 🙂
