The friendzone is becoming more and more popular in this day and age, it’s like everybody’s doing it right. Well sometimes you tend to overlook the signs that will let you know that you have been friendzoned and you just keep aiming for a target that has been claimed by someone else already. These are the top signs that will let you know that you have been friendzoned, you are not an option buddy.

You are somehow a part of the family all of a sudden:

If you have a friend or someone that you’ve been eying for while and all of a sudden they start calling you “sister” or “brother” or you miraculously are a part of the family now, just know that your chances with that person were none existent from the word “go”.

The person you’re eying tells you all their problems, including relationship problems:

It’s great to be the reliable friend or the one that can be trusted with almost everything, as soon as you cross that ‘almost everything’ line and you get told Every. Single. Thing, then your chances are done, done i tell you. You’ll move from friend, to best friend, to sister or brother to their mothers best friend!

They always talking about their crush:

and that crush is not you. The person you’re trying to get with is trying to get with someone else. They constantly mentioning their crush or it’s okay to mention the person they see themselves being intimate with around you.

The way they greet you “hi friend”:

You never greeted with sweet words or sweet lullaby’ s at night. “Hi friend, how you doing?” compared to “Ey babe, how are you doing?”  there’s a huge difference. Friend, is the first step to being friendzoned, what more do you need besides reading and hearing friend all day everyday.

Calling  you back is not a priority for them when they miss your call:

Missed call after missed call and you never get called back. Your call is just not important to them. if you really are a priority to the person you’re trying to get with they would have the decency to return your calls and make the effort to find out what you may have needed from them. If after 3 years your calls are still not being returned and you supposed to have “grown” in the “friendship”/ “relationship” then clearly you are not a priority to the person, find a way to leave the friendzone.

The person is comfortable with mentioning all their sexual affiliations:

For some random reason, mentioning your previous sexual encounters is somehow an awkward conversation to bring up in a relationship. If they’re comfortable with mentioning all these to you or mentioning their current sexual status then you my friend, are in the friendzone no questions about it.

You had dinner at her house, but never ate her box:

If it’s become a norm to visit, catch a movie and supper without even getting a kiss on the cheek; “welcome to the friendzone, I can’t be of assistance, we apologise for the inconvenience!” utters her box in a sarcastic tone. If you’re not in the friendzone and make frequent dinner dates then you should somehow be getting a kiss at the end of every night to let you know that you’re welcome to cross a few boundaries.

You didn’t kiss on the first date:

She somehow found a way to dodge all your advances all night. Your first date turns to a questionable evening and you just can feel that you definitely don’t have a second date. You get a simple “Bye! Enjoy the rest of your evening.” You’ve been friendzoned buddy.

The church hug:

The hug you get from the ladies from church is the hug you get from her all of a sudden. She lets go in like 2 seconds just to make sure that no one catches her hugging you or having any physical contact with you, they try and avoid rumours starting because they’re just not there with you.

“You’re like a brother to me”:

When throw this line at you guy, it’s over. You even skipped the bestfriend zone. She basically avoids even given you the chance of trying to make it as her partner.

Doesn’t dress up for you:

If they really don’t care about what you think about them when they look like the beast and not beauty, they’ve just simply come to terms that looking good for you is not a priority. What you think about them simply doesn’t matter.

Brushes off your compliments:

When you let her know how sexy she is today and she says thanks and is on to the next topic, she’s avoiding your compliment and making sure that the conversation doesn’t go there. Where you start finding each other attractive and all the wrong advances are made. Ignoring your compliments a simple way of saying “Thanks but, I’m really not interested”

There are quite a few ways to leave the friendzone, the first one and best option being: find yourself a new “target” simple!
