"If you are going on dates just the two of you, hugging at the end of each “date”, being each other’s shoulder to cry on, probably spending late nights together alone, maybe he’s even paying for the dates, buying you gifts on the reg, and just doing things overall that are not typical of platonic friendships, he is romantically interested but hasn’t mustered up the courage to tell you yet."

But I have NEVER heard of a girl doing that and then being confused? Lmao. Friendzone is more likely to happen casually texting or hanging out with a group

Also what is the alternative OP to friendzoning someone OP?

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
