Dating PTSD (8/28/08)- The Friend Zone

Has anyone ever been in the friend zone, but wanted it to be more?

Well readers and fellow love crusaders I have. And you know what the ironic thing is? I now follow a dating principle or philosophy that says, "you should be friends with someone first before going into a relationship. " Wow isn't that funny???

Well I do believe you should be friends with someone before entering a relationship with them. I feel that it is the one time where two people are absolutely honest with each other. When you're dating someone you only show them the part of you that they are attracted to, or the part that you want them to see. If your friends though you show them everything and you share stuff with them. Isn't that a relationship worth building on?

But here's the snag. When is it the right time to tell them how you really feel, if they will share those same feelings, and how do you keep the friendship you built from being damaged.

WHY??? Why is the cycle of romantic relationships so difficult? Why do we crave such a confusing and possibly deadly poison? Why is love and relationships bittersweet?

And if you're in the friend zone how do you leave it? Is it possible to leave the friend zone?
