Relationships 101: The (permanently) Friendzoned Friend

8:00 AM

Hi y'all,

Today's post is about that relationship everyone has in their life, but struggles to talk about: the permanently friendzoned friend.


First things first, how do you know you have that permanently friendzoned friend?
Easy, it's the person you look at like a brother or sister.

How do you explain your relationship to others?
This is the tough one because it seems like no one understands why you won't date the person! I always go with the answer "we're better off as friends"... which I often truly believe!

How do you know it's the right move to friendzone or be in a relationship?
Well, let me put it to you like this, if you always want the person around friendzone them. If the possibility of losing them as a friend terrifies you, then it's probably best to friendzone. Should your relationship not work out, it could be very hard to go back to "just friends".

Is it ok to friendzone someone?
Absolutely! Even though this is coming from the person who basically friendzones everyone, it's totally ok! 

Is the friendzone a bad place to be?
No! Here's the thing, you really have two options once you've been friendzoned. Option A, being friends or Option B, not being friends. You can easily take yourself out of the friendzone by not talking to the person anymore.

Moral of this story: it's okay to be the permanently friendzoned friend!

with southern grace,
Lindsey
