I mean...most people know as friends first and maybe become hubby later, right? I cannot think of a case where there is a shortcut to skip the friend part.
Unless you mean best friend, then congratz!

Well, I know this will sound a little out of topic, but just to point out that marriage is possible without the being-friend part: I got a peer who got forcefully married to a spouse chosen by their parents and got to be best friends later. And there were also those little accidents on one night stands where the contraceptive failed you.
Nevertheless, hell yeah I'm lucky. Thanks.

100% friendzone chance with all girls. Why?
1) I'm deaf, who wants to learn a new (sign) language and date a deaf guy?
2) My personality is a very awkward one despite I try not to be.
3) Related to being deaf, genetic mutation that made my teeth not very white. They're also a bit crooked.
4) I'm very very shy too.
5) I'm kinda weird too. (combination with #2 and #4)
I don't know any deaf friends because I am pursuing college education. I have an AA degree and pursuing a BA degree right now. Only 3 deaf people go to Washington State University and only 2 (including me) go to Eastern Washington University. That's 5 combined deaf people that are going to 2 out of top 5 populated universities in Washington state. I dont know why deaf people aren't really pursuing better education. But....I can see where "deaf and dumb" stereotype start off because of that.

Social would be easier to do if this university have sign language classes on-campus. Not 40 minutes drive away. It is dumb. This only means that there are going to be even less likely of people I encounter at university knowing some basic sign language.
I hope this is not sexism, forgive me if it is. But if I am a deaf girl, I would imagine having a easier time having someone to socialize of opposite sex than being a deaf guy. But yeah, it is always nice to see deaf people being able to fit in with society. It is not our fault we were born this way. :)

Slightly unrelated, but I slightly understand how you feel. If my wife couldn't speak English, we'd have never dated. Now I'm living in her country and I haven't made any friends yet because I simply cannot communicate fluently. It's also very frustrating, stressful and embarrassing when you cannot hold a simple conversation without making many mistakes.

hey, I'm a senior at UW and honestly I do not see a lot of disabled people on campus while during my 2 years in a community college I noticed quite a number of handicapped students there...it's kinda bugging me at first but from what I heard most disable students in college are veterans which kinda makes sense to me.

Ewww... I thought this video has Youtube captions, but I was wrong. I tried to find one with english subs but nothing. By other side, I saw many other languages have it subtitled, so I'm pretty sure he can find it :)

Never, I've never made any real effort in having a girlfriend, I'm 24 and I've only had 1 girlfriend in my life and she was the one who said "I like you, let's date" so I said "ok" and then I asked her to be my girlfriend cause why not? And she said "Yes" and I was like "Cool I guess..." now I've been single for like what? 4 years or so? And I feel fine, I'm a loser and that's how I like it, I'm grumpy and people bothers me pretty much, I hate kids and marriages so I want none of that sh*t, I like to be alone >:v
Probably I'll have another girlfriend at some point, but at this moment that's not a priority in my life.

Friendzone is not real...... People need to start understanding that this concept was pulled out of a hat to explain a moment that was apparently hard to comprehend and needed a "band-aid word" to make it not feel like its their fault.....
People can like you, People can want to hang with you 24/7 but that doesn't mean that love will be instant. Unrequited love can happen at any moment, there is nothing saying that love will be instantly reciprocated. More importantly, it seems like its mostly males who think this way when statistically its males who "friendzone" the most..... but no one calls it that because usually women understood what happened and males don't even think that they are when they do........ because its just a made up word.

However it is also true that some people will NEVER want to love you in "that" way that most people use the term "friendzone" to say. Just because you spend tons of time with someone you like and do stuff for them etc, does NOT mean they will EVER love you more then as a friend. People need to realize this too. Too many times I've seen guys bending over backwards for girls who are using them (because they know the guy likes them more then a friend) and will never date the guy but lead him on to keep getting the benefits.

But you know what OP meant.
That was kind the point.

Yes I did know, and yet saying "friendzone" still sounds incorrect. Its an arbitrary word, why not unrequited love? Its accurate, doesn't sound expectative, and is already grounded on what is known.
Once again, he didn't get "friendzoned", he had unrequited love based on a consistent friendship that couldn't evolve on the recipient's side.
But, just for the sake of your post, Yes I have had unrequited love. We were friends for years and it slowly made me want to be with her. I finally asked her out and she said that I was like "a brother" to her..... Then I said OK, felt sad for a few and moved on. We are still friends to this day, going on 12 years. She would be the first to tell me to stop believing in that band-aid thinking if I ever did it.

I never said you weren't right. I agree with the things you said.

Though people do become 'friendzoned' because they do not take action.

This.
When men is nice to girl and she doesn't want be with him => he is "friendzoned" and this is her's fault that she doesn't want be with this nice, helpful guy.
When girl is nice to men and he doesn't want be with her => she must just get over it, because he just doesn't like her.
I'm girl and I never heard that girl was "friendzoned". This word is used by men who don't like to be rejected.
I'm nice to people, because I like them and care for them. I'm not nice to people to get candies from them. And when they don't give me candies I don't say that they "candyzoned" me :D

To me beign friendzoned means that I like the person as more than a friend but she doesn't feel the same way about me. Yes, it's a made up word but it still make sense to me as I don't see it as meaning anything more than two people having different feelings for each other.
Happened to me only once to fall in love with someone who saw me as just a friend an nothing more. Was awkward for a bit but we're still friends and both happy in our current relationships.

On top of that, guys who talk about it tend to sound like they think they're entitled to something. "Oh no, she friendzoned me instead of going out with me". Guess what? Girls don't have to go out with you and there's nothing wrong with them not wanting to. No one owes you anything.
The whole concept is absolutely ridiculous.

It's guys feeling entitled to getting sex just for being a nice person... that is basically what it comes down to

OP... If it happens that often you are doing something wrong. Honestly, change up your style a bit. Don't change who you are but maybe you are just trying to be a friend to them? If you want to date them, act like it!

I think I may be in the process of friendzoning somebody. I think I might also have made her think that I'm gay, so, fuck it. I'll find someone eventually.

Just curiosity (I'm really boring).
In my case, 2 times. The first time was a girl I meet when I was new at that highschool, I fall in love but she didn't, yeah yeah sad story (not really).
Some of you may now the second time because I made a thread here about it, I meet a girl, we were so different but still we were very very close to each other, she used to be with me at any time and from one day to another, Ta-Da! I like her :D but she like another guy sho basically she broke my heart when I told her that I like her. (ok that was actually sad).
What about you? How many times have you been "friendzoned"?
