Today, I got friendzoned by my coworker. He'll constantly remind me that he's there for me if I ever need anything or someone to talk to, he's sexy as hell, and he pulls me in for close hugs. This is gonna be a long-ass summer. Oh, did I mention it's a communal living situation in the middle of the mountains? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got paired up with a coworker for a three-month project. All he talks about is how attractive my girlfriend is and what he would do with her. FML
Today, I'm confused. My incredibly hot coworkers thought I was repulsive for the past two years, but now that they've heard through the grapevine that I'm in a serious relationship, they won't leave me alone. I can't get through the day without being hit on. I hate it. FML
Today, I'm in a long-term relationship with a woman I love to bits, but I have a crush on a coworker. I've tried to brush it off, but it's only getting stronger. The worst part? I think she likes me too. FML
Today, I have a major crush on my coworker and I hate it because he's s gay and happily married to another man. FML
Today, my 70 year-old coworker gave me a letter telling me he was attracted to me, and wishes to have a relationship in which he can 'hold me in his arms every night'. I'm 21. FML
Today, as I recently starting having a huge crush on this one guy, my friend told me she told him about the crush, and that he reacted positively. I made a move, only to find out he has a partner. I've tried distancing myself to get over him but he befriended all my friends and is now in our group chat, and the crush has only intensified. FML
Today, yet again, my boss whined to me like a baby over being "friend-zoned" by his secretary. Not only does he basically stalk her and make her eat lunch with him every day, she's a lesbian in a committed relationship. He suspended me after I lost it and told him to see a fucking therapist. FML
Today, I found out my fiancé is in a long distance relationship with his ex. Not only do we live on the same island, he's also my neighbor and my co-worker. FML
Today, I've had a crush on my friend for a long time, and everyone around us had convinced me that he had feelings too, so I finally confessed. I got sister/friend-zoned. I'm trying not to cry myself to sleep. FML
Today, I realized that I'm head over heels in love with my coworker. She's funny, caring, sweet, and the best person I've ever met. We're also both married. I dream about her every night, and the stress of not being able to tell her has overtaken my PTSD, making it impossible to sleep and barely function. Fuck Love. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He's not interested. Either accept his friendship or distance yourself and move on.

Maybe your coworker doesn't want to mix business with pleasure, or he has a girlfriend, or he values his job and wants to make sure to keep his work life from getting tangled with his sex life, or he's just not that into you, or he's not into your gender. You're better off accepting his subtle rejections than making it more awkward than it needs to be. Imagine starting something with him, then breaking up and having to share that communal living space with the guy you used to be with. Even worse if you now hate each other.

Where there's alcohol, there's a way.

the. friend zone. does. not. exist. referring to it just takes your situation and makes your look pitiful, and like you have no respect for the autonomy of others.

I agree. That's why I put it as a title, although you can't see it if you're using the app.

what's the title?

That's one improvement the app needs -- seeing the story titles so you don't repeat them. Also, being able to see the thumb counts on your own comments and being able to reply to replies to your comments. I disagree. There are some women whose company I enjoy, but could not imagine having sex with them. I can only hope that they are not sexually attracted to me. Lucky for me, I'm ugly enough that they don't try to jump out of the zone. What I will say is that you don't have to stay in the zone -- there are two exits.

You said coworker. Ever think he doesn't want to deal with the sexual harassment fallout. If not, be blunt.
