I’ve been in the friend zone and now we’re married!
Marrying your best friend is not an impossible dream. I think we all have been friend-zoned at one time or another, right? You know, that place where you’re just friends with someone and you can’t tell if they’re interested in you as more than friends. Well, when I met my best friend, it was like all of my worst nightmares came true. We had been friends for years at this point, and it seemed like we were always flirting with each other. But nothing ever happened—not even a kiss!
Then one day she said something weird: “If we got married would that fix this?” What?! Did she just say what I thought she said? I looked at her face and realized that yes, indeed she had said what I thought she said. And then it hit me: She thinks she’s in the friend zone too!
We talked about it for awhile before deciding to go ahead and get married so we could stop acting like idiots around each other and actually start dating…which ended up being really fun!
If you’re like us, you too may have wanted to marry your best friend. It just seems like a logical step to take—you spend all this time with them, so why not make it official?
We know it can be hard to get out of the friend zone, but we’re here to tell you that it’s possible!
Here are some tips:
- Just ask ’em! Don’t be afraid to be bold and put yourself out there. It might be scary at first, but once they say yes, it will all be worth it.
- Make sure you both have the same idea of what marriage means for each other. Some people want a ceremony where they say their vows before everyone else and others just want to sign a piece of paper and then go home and watch TV together on the couch with no one else around (and maybe some snacks).
- Be prepared for the future! Once you get married, there’s no turning back—you’ll have to live together forever and ever until one of you dies (or maybe even longer than that if you really love each other). You should probably start talking about what kind of house or apartment or condo or whatever kind of living situation
Marrying your best friend can be a dream come true.
But what if you’re in the friend zone? What if you have feelings for your bestie and they just doesn’t feel the same way? What if you’re not even sure they’re gay or bi, but you want to be with them anyway?
Here are some tips:
- Be yourself! Don’t try to change who you are or what you like just because someone else doesn’t like it. You’ll end up being miserable and regretting every decision that led up to this moment. Just be yourself and let things happen naturally.
- Show her how much she means to you by doing things for her that only a boyfriend would do (like bringing her flowers), even if she won’t reciprocate at first. It’s important for her to understand how much she means to you so that she can see the value in being with someone who loves her so much—and hopefully fall in love with them too!
- Don’t give up! If it doesn’t work out this time, keep trying until it does!
Have you ever been in the friend zone?
You know, when you’re so close to someone that it’s almost like a relationship, but not quite there. Maybe they don’t see you as a romantic partner or someone they want to date, but they do see you as a great friend.
That’s a tough spot to be in—you spend all this time and energy getting to know this person and trying to make them like you, but then one day, it hits you: They might never like you that way. The friendship is just going to be forever unrequited.
But what if there was a way out? What if all it took was for your best friend (the only person who really gets you) to fall in love with you? Well… that just might be possible! Maybe they are already in love with you but can’t make that first move? What if… they also want to marry their best friend?
A new study has found that couples who are friends before becoming romantically involved are happier and more satisfied than couples who meet through other means. In fact, friendships between romantic partners have been shown to have higher levels of satisfaction than those formed without the context of romance. This means that if your best friend were dating someone else, that person could potentially become your new soulmate!
