Just wondering, because I'm kind of sick of it.

No, there is absolutely no way to get out of the "friend zone". You are trapped, you might as well hang up your cap and coat now...it will not go any further than friends.

Well to explain I met this girl like 2 months ago, and we really hit it off and have a great connection, but she keeps saying she just wants to be friends. We had sex a couple of times, which almost ended the whole friendship. She has said she knows I'm good for her, but she has also said I'm too emotionally young. Whatever that means. I guess I can be immature at times, but I'm 18, so there. I really like her but she's 24 and I think that may be part of the problem. She knows how I feel about her. I just don't know what to do here because I feel like I can't just be friends with her without thinking about having sex again (which she says isn't going to happen) or having a relationship (which she also said isn't going to happen). I just wish I knew a way to change her mind.

I've lost plenty of people that could very well of been really good friends because of sex, you're 18...not the end of the world or the road for that matter. |

I just wish I knew a way to change her mind. If you guys make great friends and can STILL be friends after having sex, be happy with that. If she is telling you that she is never going to have sex or a relationship with you...she probably means that. Obviously she thinks you are immature and women do mature a lot faster then men do. Just don't follow her around and act desperate, trust me...women do talk about that when men do this. Plus don't let her play little games with you, you know what she told you from the beginning SO just be friends and start looking around for other females to date. I am sure that there are many young ladies out there that would date you, so don't spend all of your time trying to get the one that keeps saying NO!! |

One way out of the friend zone is to possibly distance yourself some, go do some growing up, and come back into her life as the type of man she is looking for. Other than that, if you keep hanging around, she's likely always going to see you the same. If, during the time you're working on yourself, instead of you two, she finds someone else, then so be it. You're still plenty young enough to go fishing in other waters.

I just wish I knew a way to change her mind. The only mind you can change effectively is your own... Change that and you change everything. You're 18, the world is your oyster...lighten up little brother... |

I'm gonna say to you what needed to be said to me:
She's just not that into you. You teach people how to treat you. If you don't like how she is treating you, move on and date someone else. She'll either change her ways, or she won't. But either way you'll be out having fun instead of pining for someone who isn't into you. |

Being "the friend" is a kin to joining the convent and becoming a monk- you just ain't gonna get anywhere, and you might as well take a vow of celibacy as a result. Move onto something else. There ain't no changing her mind, and you don't need your patience tested with her jerking you around like that. |
