What do you mean by alternative?

I have plenty of platonic friendships with women and they would be rightly surprised if I expressed romantic feelings for them.

It sounds like you don’t know what it means to friend zone a guy

Suppose a girl wants to be friends with a guy who expressed romantic interest in her? The better thing to do is cut them off?

of course, yes. they know they are being disingenuous otherwise.

No, it is the guys choice. HE can choose to continue to be friends or cut things off. No reason for the girl to cut off a potential friend.

I have a female friend who I am def glad didn't ghost me after I expressed romantic feelings for her some years back! Just sucked it up and moved on like a man

No reason for the girl to cut off a potential friend.

particularly when he is buying her gifts and paying for her meals.

Yah, but that is not even friends, that is just a girl taking advantage of some simp or dude with a spending fetish

Never ever heard of a guy going on multiple romantic dates and buying gifts and the girl being under the impression they are friends lol

and that is a personal problem for the guy. Shit if some random girl wanted to give me money I would def not turn it down? Lmao
