What your sexual orientation does not matter at all. Your gender is of no importance either. Friendship is a great thing. But what if you expect something more?

It might be frustrating to find out that the person you love regards you as a friend rather than a beloved. Read further to learn some certain truths about what it is like to be in the friend zone. 

1. Does the friend zone exist?

Whether you want to admit it or not, but the so-called friend zone exists. Get real and deal with the fact that someone really wants you as a friend. We cannot be lovers to someone who does not want us to be their lovers or partners. It might feel disappointing to see that you are liked and appreciated but not treated the way you would like to be treated.

2. Do you put yourself in the friend zone?

Affection can be won. But, in order to be the winner, one needs to try to win. It takes time. It may take quite some efforts. The truth is that some certain things do depend on how you behave in the situation. Make changes before you start complaining. If nothing works, then you will at least not regret not having tried. Be confident, not rude. Open up and let the person know that you want to be more than just a friend. It must start somehow.
