The notion that you can't find a woman incredibility attractive and "Just be friends." I believed that my entire life, and laughed at guys who said "not-uh" knowing they didn't mean it either and were just trying to get laid. But then I met someone who changed my view on that. In my case I met her on Tinder and we bang a couple times after a few amazing dates. She 'friendzoned' me seemingly out of the blue a few weeks later. After a few false starts trying to reheat things I just give up and keep responding to her increasingly infrequent texts with a IDGAF attitude.

One day I'm back from a terrible date ready to take a nap and she invites me to hang out. We were having a great time, and towards the end she starts texting a bunch right in front of me. I asked her what's up and she tells me it's a guy she promised to go on a date with but doesn't want to. He was listed as "Tall cute [name]" which got me pissed. She sensed it and we talked, we drank, and we laughed and then it just became a fun night. She drops me off, hug it out and I go home worried that this guy who was willing to meet someone at 1am was desperate and a creep. Somehow she changed my mind and there I was staying up waiting until I get a "I'm home...well that's done thank god" text, not getting drunk and passing out out of jealousy.

Nowadays we're like Seinfeld and Elaine. And TBH it's new to her too. The few months in between 'dating' and 'befriending' she was always a little guarded with me for just that reason knowing I still wanted to bone. But now we have a great relationship and she really is a best friend. And no I'm not some creepy 'gentleman' holding doors for M'Lady. I'll still slap that beautiful ass from time to time, I mean it's so damn perfect.

Tl;Dr. I successfully firendzoned myself with a little bit of help.
