Today, I was on a date with a girl I've had feelings for since I was 14 (I'm 22). I took her out to dinner, then to a movie that we both liked and had a few drinks afterwards. I thought it was going really well until I was driving her home and she asked to be dropped off at her boyfriend's house. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally went on a date with the girl I'm in love with. After dinner we went to the bar for drinks and things were going great. Right up until she went home with another guy. FML
Today, I took a girl out on a date. We had dinner, we had good conversation, the vibe was excellent, and everything was great. I took her to a bar I frequent after for a couple of drinks to finish the night. She left with some other dude on his motorcycle. FML
Today, I went on a date with a girl. We drove separately and met at the restaurant. Over the course of two hours she drank a gallon and a half of beer, then her boyfriend picked her up because she was too drunk to drive home. FML
Today, I went on a date with the girl of my dreams. Her boyfriend, who she said she'd broken up with, was at the same restaurant with another girl. She screamed at him for ten minutes, then they started making out, and left together. The girl he was with looked at me and said "Eww", then went to hit on another guy. FML
Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the guts to ask this girl I like to dinner and a movie. She agreed on the terms that she could bring someone, and I'd said it wouldn't be a problem. When I met up with her a few hours later, I found out she'd brought her boyfriend. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to eat out at a restaurant. We chatted for an hour, and it all seemed to be going well, until she told me that she wanted to break up. Waiting for the bill and driving her home was the most painful time of my life. FML
Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML
Today, I went to a date with a girl I thought liked me. We sat down at a restaurant, ordered some food and started talking. After 30 minutes, she said with a sigh of relief, "THANK GOD! There's my dad. Now I can leave. Bye, thanks for the dinner." The food hadn't even arrived yet. FML
Today, I went on a date with a girl I like. Afterwards, I drove her home, and we just sat there awkwardly. I thought she wanted to kiss me but was nervous, so I jokingly said, "What're you waiting for? Christmas?" I guess she took that as a "Get the hell out", because she broke into tears and left. FML

Time to let that one go and find somebody who doesn't use people for free meals, entertainment and drinks.

I'm gonna give you a little lesson I learned a few years ago, and its one I wish I learned a lot sooner. If you have been friends with a girl for 8 years it is way too late for anything to happen. If you have been friends with a girl for 8 months, it is way too late for anything to happen. If you have been friends with a girl for 8 weeks, it is way too late for anything to happen. If you have been friends with a girl for 8 days, it is too late for anything to happen. If you have been friends with a girl for 8 hours, it is too late for anything to happen. If you have been friends with a girl for 8 minutes, it is probably already too late for anything to happen.

i reject your theory. I think friends make the best boyfriends/girlfriends since you already know you have things in common and can get along. I was friends with my boyfriend for 5 months before we started dating. I agree that after 8 years nothing's going to happen...but really...8 seconds and it's already too late? No.

I never said 8 seconds, in truth you have about 15. Yeah that's right, the vast majority of girls make up their minds within 15 seconds. Sure there are fringe cases, and I did once get in a relationship with a girl I was friends with for a few years. The relationship lasted a month, and she said she just wasn't comfortable dating a friend. Having things in common has nothing to do with attraction, as I have learned time and time again.

hahahaha thats suuuuuccchhh bullshit... it all depends what kind of friendship you have.. me and my ex knew eachother for like 5 years before anything happened. it all depends on ur friendship and how you approach it

Russianspy1234, I would venture a guess that you are the type of guy who women say they just want to be friends with so as not to hurt your feelings. The intentions are good, but it leaves you with the deluded notion that friendship means a relationship can't happen, when really it just means the woman isn't attracted to you. The confirmation is the story about the friend turned one month relationship turned uncomfortable dating a friend. That means she decided to give it a try because you were there, interested, and available, but couldn't make herself be really into it. Just an educated guess, of course.

once your in the friends zone there is no possibility of a relationship, but if there is that chance that you make things happen between you and your friend it still doesnt mean that its going to last forever just because you have something in common with someone. I have been with a friend before and even though i knew her for 6 years before and we liked each other we had a mutual breakup because we found it better to just be friends. I also agree 8 years is way too long and on top of that he dont know shit about her. You have to let people know how you feel in the beginning. To me it sounds like one of those thanks for the free meal type of thing. It might just be me but Im not paying for a girl that isnt mine. ESPECIALLY if its only a "date" in my head.

BUT sometimes it takes a while to get those feelings.. you may not feel that way in the beginning then once you know them after a while they start to develop.. but agreed that 8 years is too long

Not always true. Or, really, true at all. I find going out with guys who I haven't been friends with to be... incredibly awkward. Friends make good dates. It's easier on me, I don't have to go through any nonsense about what types of things I like, the big revel that I'm crazy is never actually a big revel. God, I wish every relationship was that easy.

That's all well and good, sounds perfectly logical to me, but I have found that most (not all) women do not think that way, this isn't just personal experience, this is gathering information from both male and female friends.

what the hell are you talking about? i say it's never too late for anything.

"apparently ive dated many of my close friends. damn." are you a guy who pays for a your female friend when you're "hanging out"? if yes then she's using you are you a female with male friends who pays for you when "hanging out"? if yes then you're an idiot for not noticing that that kind of gesture implicates that the guy "friend" is crushing on you. He's just stuck in the friends zone.
