Need some wisdom. Had a second date last night with someone I've had some interest in for years but timing was never right. Anyway we got into a convo about attraction and the friend zone for a while but overall the I thought the date went very well with lots of cocky funny and good eye contact vibes etc.. Was blown away an hour or so later with this text exchange :

"Hey! Thanks for the night out and meeting up. You're making me feel like I need to get out more with the exciting life you live! 😊 I think we both probably realized after the conversation we had that we are in the friend zone. I don't see it going any further than that which is a bummer. 😪"

Me: Woah woah woah slow your roll!😑Don't be friend zoning me!...

"No I don't think ur overly interested on ur end and jus feel "spark" isn't there."

Me: ...I'll have to respectfully disagree with you btw...again. lol 😏

"... We will have disagree 😊 I jus not sensing it and feel we are in the "friend zone" as you said. "

Me: ...For what its worth I feel the exact opposite, think you're missing it, and think you're wrong about me.

This is a summary but you get the jist. What I'm blown away with is how wrong I was about how well I thought it went! Would never have guessed this text was coming. WTF????
