Estranged zone

[Kit]

a place worse than [the friend zone]. Its the place guys go when they cross the line of friendship and the girl isnt interested. Instead of simply going back into the friend zone, he goes to a place where hes almost avoided at all costs no matter how good of a friend he was before. He becomes less than a stranger perhaps not even receiving a greeting in public. Its more awkward being around her since she will always have in the back of her mind these feelings the guy now has she never knew about that she doesnt want to contribute to. If she truly didnt know, she didnt do anything but be herself. Thus her lack of comfort or excessive concern for not being misleading is [completely unfounded] and often becomes more annoying than anything. If this happens to you, call the girls bluff of [lets just be friends] by initially being available but gradually if not suddenly no longer going out your way to do anything for her and NOT initiating contact with her. Let her miss the good friend she had after she dates some more jerks who probably spared you their problem. Its not a fun place to be but pays off wnen this same friend is still single well into her 30s complaining about how a [good man] is hard to find. Meanwhile, youve moved on to your happily ever after knowing that you was that good man she passed on.
Note: Nothing wrong with being a single woman in her 30s. The issue is with complaining about the lack of good men since many good men fell into the nice guy or [jaf] category years earlier.
