okay, any advice would be grrrreat. i work with a girl. we have been getting close. i'd say we have an awesome back and forth. we can really make each other laugh, and we both smoke. she tells almost everyone we're "bestfriends" although she uses this term with many people. i like her, alot. and i think she knows this, but "seems" to just want friendship. i want to be her friend too, but it's really kind of making me depressed because of the whole liking her thing. will telling her i like her damage a potential friendship between us? is it even worth being her friend if i'm depressed about not being able to actually be with her, even if i realllly need a friend right now? AHHHH!!!!!
As someone who has suffered from being "friend zoned", I would say that its never worth the pain to be friends with a girl whom you like but doesn't like you back. If anything, take some time off from hanging out with her outside of work. Take some time to pursue hobbies that you enjoy and hang out with your guy friends. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TELL HER THAT YOU LIKE HER!!!!! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TELL HER THAT YOU LIKE HER!!!!! It likely wont' lead to anything but an awkward situation. (repeated twice for emphasis.)
Hmm. . . Friend zoned. I've never heard of that phrase before. But yeah, I'm not going to tell her. I think I will take this advice and run with it. but damn, if only we didn't make each other laugh so much. thanks, man.
Yeah I'm not saying to destroy what sounds like a good friendship, but the fact that you like her and she doesn't seem to like you back can make things difficult.
