Ravi sir what is the meaning of friendzone? Does it mean the girl only wants to be a friend? But what if she is also flirting with me and joining for a date, movie etc? Is she taking me for granted? Am I like an option? I can't understand what is going on in her mind.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,

Friendzone is typically when one person has romantic feelings but the other person does not reciprocate the same. But if your "friend" is flirting with you and also going on dates, it won't be typically considered friendzoning. If she is also making you feel taken for granted, it will fall in the category of "leading on" or "breadcrumbing," where someone throws enough crumbs to keep you hooked but never the entire bread, bread being commitment in this scenario.

It is best to have a direct discussion about it with her. Voice your feelings clearly and make her understand that you don't appreciate how she is treating you. Clear communication can do a lot more than you can imagine.

Best Wishes!
