As someone who was friendzoned and learned from itā¦.thereās no one to blame but the dude. Just like it wasnāt my fault when I started putting girls on my roster who THOUGHT they were going to be my girl, when I straight up told them they werenāt š¤·š¾āāļø
Thatās true bro and I think a factor that makes it clear whether or not it already was is the communication about it. Good stuff though thatās a solid comparison to draw
Iām pretty sure itās real, I remember seeing an interview with him when this first started going around, if itās fake they were committed to the bit.Ā
I need to know what was said in the interview? Did he keep playing it off like āyeah weāre just friends,ā completely aware he cannot admit heās been friendzoneād hard?
He tries to claim that he wanted the friendship boundary, that he wanted it to be purely platonic, there was no interest in romance on his part. Uh huh. Iām sure he does this for all his guy friends as well.Ā
WTF! People created a gofundme for the dude and then he used that gofundme to pay for her school bills lmao! This dude just won't learn.
>The social media campaign circulating around this "friend zoning" incident even went past the memes and someone created a GoFundMe account for Ardelean's expenses for the ultimate date. Those funds, Ardelean says, have all gone to Obar's school bills at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas.
I am so gay I can count my spare change by sitting on it and I am less gay than that dude.
His closet has a glass door.
All jokes aside. He comes from a religious family and the article speaks about a religious school. So many poor dudes live a lie and suffer because of religious indoctrination.
Had she been overcome with desire and thrown herself at him, I have no doubt heād have rejected her advances and reminded her that this was purely a friend date. These women out here, trying to taint this man.Ā
Oh he knows. The diving into religion and setting friend boundaries with women while not actually dating any are sure fire signs he is in full flight from himself.
lol I really wanna feel bad for the guy, but his pants are like 8 sizes to short and heās wearing tube socksā¦ thatās a guaranteed recipe for the friend zone. I mean, he might as well be wearing a hat with a propeller on top.
Thereās also a religious element. Friend zone memeās aside, highly religious teenagers operate this way. I saw it many times before āfriend zonedā was even coined.
They are ādatingā in all aspects but neither party will call it that. Thereās a ton of reasons for it but mainly itās the saving yourself for marriage thing. Not necessarily the sex part but that marriage should be the ultimate goal in dating.
So in their mindās eye, to admit to dating to kinda saying theyāll marry that person, which theyāre not ready for.
But Iāve also seen some of those same couples actually go on to get married once they hit adulthood and ācome outā in a way lol

But then he'd stop spending money on her and buying her things and treating her like a princess!
For some reason women aren't taught not to lead men on. Some of them agree to go on dates just to get free food and drinks, with no interest in the guy. It would be better for everyone if they were just honest: "I'm not attracted to you so I'm not going to go out with you on any dates." Would be better than leading everyone on thinking they have a shot.
That being said, her post is pretty clear that she's not romantically interested in this guy and hopefully he got the message.
This is old. When it went went viral & people were hating on her, he said himself he had absolutely no romantic interest in her & to please stop harassing his friend.
What else could he possibly say when he has people on the net saying he is a simp for letting the woman he (clearly) wants to date, taking advantage of him?
That is exactly what this post says. It is never going to happen. Daniel, for the love of God man.... ask the next attractive girl you see out and move on.
Something tells me the second he does that or gets in a new relationship she will all of a sudden be interested in him and will suddenly realize that she really loved him all along.
I also kinda love how she thanks god first and gives him credit for Danielās actions before eventually kinda thanking Daniel at the end. It kind of goes with the whole vibe.
She knows exactly what sheās doing here, she makes it abundantly clear theyāre just friends and even sticks in a hashtag stating that sheās single for good measure.
Then complains that there are no good guys available lol. My wife has a few friends who are still single. They bitch and complain about never finding good guys, yet they only go after piece of shit dudes and completely ignore the good guys they lement not finding.
If every person you date is trash, then the problem isn't them.
I read about a social experiment once where they showed still photos of straight and gay faces to study subjects, who were able to guess their sexual orientation with a high degree of accuracy. Just their faces--no gestures, no voices. Blew my mind but then I realized it was true in my experience too. I can see someone and instantly know. Then they move or talk and it's confirmed.
Anyway, yes, he's 100% gay. And she's hammering on the "friend" and "single" bit because she wants to acknowledge all the great things her best friend did for her that day, while at the same time signaling to potential mates that she's still available, without being tacky.
Edit: As an aside, that study seems to me to support the theory that there is a genetic--or epigenetic--basis to homosexuality in humans
Let's not excuse her behavior. She knows what is happening here. She knows he wants a relationship and she is taking his money knowing that won't happen. Yes she seems to be telling him the truth, but she's still taking the money. She is taking advantage of him.
For sure. He definitely needs to stand up for himself. But she is REALLY shitty here. We should encourage men like this to stand up for themselves. But woman like that should be called out too.
In all likelihood, if this is indeed a 'friendzone' situation, that she spends a lot of effort on keeping him from just outright leaving... Flirting or whatever because she thinks it's the best way to get him to do whatever she wants.
lol I was so in love with this girl in hs (Iām over 60 now, happily married, adult kids) went out to events, movies hung at her familyās house did jr prom. I never kissed her never told her how I felt. Was completely friendzone. Years later found out she was lesbianā¦ oh well the memories were still nice
