why is it that a friend zoned
relationship so similar to a real relationship with the intimacy?

None of my friend zoned relationships were ever intimate that's why it's called the friend zone. I think you're confusing it with friends with benefits.

thats exactly what it is called.. friends with benefits.. stay away from that kind of "friendship" or whatever..

The ideal relationship for most people is a frieñdship with mind blowing sex. Friends with benefits offers exactly that but without the commitment, faithfulness and "relationship' label.

You see why that line gets so blurry now?

FWB is not really a bad thing in itself if both people are in full control of themselves. Personally, I am not looking for a FWB arrangement but I can see how it may work for the right people.

1. Both have to look at sex as a natural animal activity. That means placing no sentimental value on the copulation process.
2. Both need to have no jealousy of the other.
3. The sex cannot interfere with the established friendship.
4. Both must have strong emotional stability.
5. Both must be able to detach from the intimacy.

In my younger years I have had FWB agreements. In all cases, it developed into a relationship with all the complications a relationship implies. In most cases, those feelings that lead to the agreement being something more were only felt on one side of the friendship. The hurt that resulted always ended the friendship.

the friend zone is the worst.. it is a bottomless pit you can never climb back out of to get back to being lovers again.... only time it's good ..is if the breakup is mutual and you still really enjoyed each others company and you can let go of the intimacy you once shared.. and be truly happy for the other person to be in a relationship

hi do you like me

Even worse than the friend zone is the dead zone. A couple of guys I know, we are close for a little while, and then not close at all. Date for a week or two, and then no contact for weeks or months - they are in the dead zone, until we start talking again.

If two ppl are intimate and no one else involved..its a relationship. Sometimes it doesn't work out, and fall friendship falls apart.

Only friend zone is great friends without sex

I'm sure this guy will get friend zoned.

the shirtless dead zone maybe...

friendzoning you is the polite way to say "not interested"
what you are referring to is friendship with benefits.

While I am intimate with my friends, I am NOT sexually intimate with them.

When I friendzone someone, I may be attracted to them or not. I just know deep down it would never work for what ever reason. Yet I value their friendship.

FWB is a whole other topic and has never interested me.

relationship is part of life every one has been seriously relationship becoz loves is also been part of life dosti friendship for ever
