Am I right in say, its not just physical, but also things like confidence and game that you look for?

I mean, lets say a guy was drop dead gorgeous, but he was shy and insecure, would you go for him?

Its difficult to say, it depends on the situation. In some cases confidence can be a real turn-on, but in the case you just mentioned it could be that I don't care about that, because then I know he doesn't care about the way he looks, so he may be a sincere guy.

Hmmm but what if he is too shy to approach you and make you feel wanted?

What if he starts calling you 10 times a day to make sure you arent chatting with another man?

I wish I could give you advice - I, myself don't know how to approach guys I like.
Please don't call a girl 10 times a day. That is seriously not cool. You want to let her know you like her, not think she has a stalker.

Yes I am, I thought my nick would be a dead giveaway

I invoke rule 30,31,32 of the internet

Rules :
30. There are no girls on the internet
31. TITS or GTFO - the choice is yours
32. You must have pictures to prove your statements

Some of the recent threads have made me think and I'm curious... Has anyone ever managed to escape the dreaded "Friend Zone" by ending up in a relationship with that person?

If so, how did you do it?

And yes, this happens to women as well. :)

In my case, I was eventually able to walk away (though not, unfortunately, until I'd basically torn myself to pieces). After a year or so of no contact, we were able to pick up the friendship again - not as close as we had been, but at least without any more romantic interest from either side.

It was the hardest thing I'd ever done, though, and I don't think I'd be able to do that again. So, also, does anyone have advice on how to avoid getting too attached to a good friend in the first place? Not making friends with the interesting sex at all seems a little extreme... :)

Yes. I manned up, told the girl I like her and I would like to be more than friends and tada. We dated for three years.

Lol, I'm not looking for advice!

I'm just saying, I used to be that shy, insecure guy. I thought, but I'm such a nice guy, why dont the girls like me?

Anyway, many years later, I realized how important confidence is.

So, when I saw your post saying you found physical attraction important, I just thought there is more to it than that. I mean, if you thought about it, some guys have sex appeal, some dont. Right?

I think you and Roxi_B4b3 should meet. You are both into each other. Do it.

What's the low-down on the situation where you have actually been intimate with this girl, and in some sort of exclusive relationship, but not 'officially' dating, and one day she just says I think we should just stay friends?

Your being friend-boyed.. Means that you were exclusive until she figured she could find someone better.
