I am an average guy. Average looks, average build. I would say I am above average at pickup, and get much better looking girls than my similar average friends. My best friend is a female,and I am straight (and I only say this because gays are stereotyped for this).

I am currently single, but this goes on even when I am dating someone. Although I do not treat my best friend as I do my other guy friends, because we arent like that. I usually dont go out to nice dinners with a guy friend, I normally dont have sentimental value to cards or gifts my guy friends give me. It is a whole different friendship. I have no feelings for her whatsoever, and I will admit that when I first met her (and the first few months of our friendship) I thought she was hot. I still do, but I have no sexual intent with her. If I wanted that, I would be pursuing that. Does that mean that I dont get a hard on when I see her naked? No, I definitely do. Does that mean that I dont look at her ass all the time? Hell no, I do. Its lovely.

Tonight, I had no girlfriend so we went out and even spent valentines day together.

Usually when people talk to us as a couple (people we dont know) we go with it, because fuck it why not. I can be more myself with her, I wanted to take dancing classes because I hate the pressure of having to dance at weddings. If I wanted to take a dancing class with a guy friend, things would go less than spectacular. So we take dancing classes together.

Every day, someone calls me out about being friendzoned hard. Someone on her or my friends list on facebook posted something here even (cant find it again) about 'this poor guy is so freindzoned'. I think the main problem is that she is a very attractive girl, and I am an average guy.

If I was friendzoned, I would back out. I back out of any friendship I get feelings in. I was more awkward before I was friends with her, and lets just say that being friends with her has really helped me into becoming good with girls.

I see people on here give guys shit for being friendzoned, or beta, and it is dumb. Sure 9 times out of 10... actually more like 1/100 of the times they poor guy is friendzoned. But it is not the case sometimes. Most 'friend-zones' are bad ones, and usually it does not work. It ultimately comes down to one person being into the other. But if it doesn't, I think it is personally the best friendships.

I am probably going to be the Man of honor at her wedding, I help her get guys, she helps me get girls, I have beat the shit out of guys that fucked her over, and she has gotten revenge on girls for me. We are best friends.

I just thought I would post that on here. I see people give advice on "If a girl friendzones you, bail" Don't take this advice fully. Obviously, if you really feel like getting laid and dont want to waste your time then find a girl who is interested in more than being friends. But if you like the person, and enjoy being with them then why not find a friendship? It changed my life.

Edit, I am 19, she is 20
