Why do people praise this behaviour? Imagine being friends with a guy for years just to find out all he secretly wanted was to fuck you, and if you don't give him that, he tells you to go to hell? Why do guys act like the friendzone is such a bad thing, don't you value the girl's personality enough to stay friends with her? Do you literally only care about having sex with her, and that's why you pretend to be her friend but leave when she says no? (I know this mature talk isn't suitable to this exact situation as they're both kids, but this usually applies to most "friendzone" situations)
I totaly agree with as i actualy lost a 7 years of friendship with a guy because i rejected him and all he could think of was sex and i felt terribly embarassed as he would threathen me in a low voice when we were together in class.. The worst thing is that he was already going with another girl so i don't regret ending our friendship that much but seriously it's not funny if we don't like you we're not gonna force ourselves just for you and don't make it look like it's only girls who friendzone boys also do it
Exactly, I had a crush on a friend but he rejected me, we're still friends because I can get past that. I really don't see what the big deal is. Sure it was hard when he told me about other girls he liked, but I got over it and we're still good friends. I don't see why is it so hard for guys to stay friends with a girl. Maybe stop looking only at her body and start noticing she has a personality too? Honestly, if someone's shallow to the point they fuck up a few years long friendship despite the other person having a likeable personality just because they got rejected by them, they don't deserve a relationship. A relationship is a form of friendship in terms of emotional support and so on. If you just wanna fuck, find a hooker.
In the context of this picture, Manny wanted a relationship from the start, and he was open about it.
You all have valid complaints, but this character was honest from the start.
Good point, I haven't watched this series/movie so I'm oblivious about the context.
Still, 95% of the time I see "boo hoo she friendzoned me" posts, it's the situation I've described above. And even yet, is being friends with someone "witty and bright" so bad, even if she doesn't want to have a relationship with you? My current relationship is a result of 8 years of friendship, I feel like seeking only a relationship without becoming friends first (or just getting to know each other well without having ulterior motives) may get you a relationship faster, but it will also end faster. Then again this is a kids situation so my adolescent advice is probably not very valuable anyway.
And here I thought you were paying for all the movie tickets, all the food, all the transportation, paying for all the entertainment and all of the expenses, out of *friendship*. I had no idea that you could have been thinking of me romantically. I thought it was all for friendship.
