[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one thing I wish boy parents would tell their sons is that when a girl has said No to dating, she means No, and to let it be. I wouldn’t call it friend zoning, I’d call it rejection and acknowledge that it hurts and is hard but that it’s final. [/quote]

Except I know plenty of cases where a teenage girl said no to dating a boy, they stayed friends (s, "friend zoned" instead of "rejection", "final", etc) and ended up married.  Why can't they just be friends? [/quote]

Plenty huh? :roll: Maybe in Hollywood movies.[/quote]

I wish I lived in a Hollywood movie, but alas, no.  Just regular people from my high school.[/quote]

Staying friends because you want to be friends and then dating later is fine and normal.  Staying friends [i]in the hope she’ll change her mind someday[/i] is not healthy.  Stay friends if it doesn’t interfere with your seeking out fulfilling romantic relationships elsewhere.  Don’t stay friends just in the hope that she’ll change her mind.  Even if some women do, it’s not a good idea to sit around waiting for this particular girl/woman to.[/quote]
