People just keep threads like this going hoping they get more news from the OP. What makes it more special is that even though we love to trash OP, many have experienced the infamous friend zone and secretely hope the OP will return victorious and prove everyone wrong.

Actually, i'm sure most of us have no delusions that OP will come back to this thread, although we'd love if he did, because this is genuinely entertaining
Many of us likely have experienced the infamous friend zone...which makes our wisdom all the more valuable to him. I don't really care if he "proves us wrong", because whether or not he "escapes" is completely at the prejudice of the chick in question (or hinging on him essentially becoming a different person overnight) and is completely beside the point.
If OP came back on some "damn guys i mulled it over, you're totally right. I'm gonna stop being deluded, get some self-respect, and aspire to be more than a soggy shower mat" then this thread would be the ultimate success
Then he can join the dating thread, where we all help him snag dates, and congratulate him on getting his dick wet on a girl who actually finds him mutually attractive!
look at the pic and imagine him drawing it
you will feel ashamed for you words and deeds
I can't say enough how much I fucking LOVE this picture

man and woman are now at war with each other, because they figured out how stupid we are via the internet.
Wait, for real?
For those of you just joining us...
Ah, it feels like ages since I've been able to share a tale of fine misguided obsession with you also-fine NeoGAFfers.
This story begins with our OP, WaterAstro, detailing his months-long not-romance with a woman he felt inclined to assist in her burgeoning career. You see, WaterAstro was quite familiar with how difficult it can be to get a start in his field, so he was very eager to help this young lady with anything she might need... And on an unrelated matter, WaterAstro would like to plow this woman... Again, totally unrelated to all the interest and help... Just a coincidence.
Astro sought advice from NeoGAF, to determine if he managed to find himself in the dreaded friendzone; but, he also wanted to be clear that both he and his unwitting protege are good, platonic friends, who genuinely care and want to support the other. Now, most would tell you that if such a thing were true then this whole "friendzone" matter wouldn't even need to be asked, since typically real friends get along just fine without constantly worrying about fucking one another. But WaterAstro assured us that he was on the level, and he's helping her just because of how good of friends they are. As evidenced by their engaging of good, platonic friend activities, such as.... holding hands... and telling each other that they love one another.
... Maybe they're from one of those countries where friends kiss each other when they meet up or somethi-- and, nope, looks like he's Canadian... Well, then....
GAF was adamant that the OP was setting himself up for a lot of pain and embarrassment, to which WaterAstro was quick to hurl back a slew of "lol"s and dismissals. He claimed that the majority of GAF's advice was terrible, and that he'd only be listening to the "good advice" of the few who understood his position and urged him to stay the course.
He continued to express that he wasn't hung up on the fact that she shot him down before, and was just wanting to help out a good friend. He totally didn't care whether or not she wanted to be in a relationship with him. Not at all. None whatsoever. That's why he posted the thread and kept bringing it up. To make YOU all look foolish. Not him. No sir. He's the mature one here.
Definitely not caring about that relationship.
They're true friends.
Best buddies. Good pals.
Thick as thieves, those two.
Finally, WaterAstro met up with his own Alisoun (That's a Canterbury Tales reference; that makes this whole thing classy) and laid everything out. How they were both good friends... How he was helping her along... How he wanted to bang. All of it.
But then, much to GAF's surprise, something amazing happened--...!
--Oh, wait. No it didn't. Exactly what everyone would have expected happened.
Well, that's that, really. WaterAstro continues on being best good buddies with this lady with whom he totally doesn't care about being intimate... unless of course she changed her mind, then he'd totally be down-- Un-...unless she was just kidding, in which case he was just kidding too. Haha.
There were a few other small developments with other users having their own drama, which you can go searching for yourself. The rest of the thread was filled with people sharing humorously cringeworthy examples of similar situatio-...
Godspeed, WaterAstro.
I'm Lionel Mandrake. Good night.

This debate over whether or not the friend zone exists is weird to me.
To me the to friend zone and has always been this dictionary definition: "a situation in which a friendship exists between two people, one of whom has an unreciprocated romantic or sexual interest in the other."
It exists. I've been on both ends of it.

Hey OP since you're too chicken shit to come back to this thread, but are no doubt lurking, here's another reminder that you're an asshole and need to just remove yourself from this girl's life before you end up overstepping and with a harassment suit against you.

No? She's rejected him twice, and he's still assuming that she'll come around once she realises the value of his incredible career guidance.
For some reason I thought the was the OP at first pulling a 'You guys are so mean!' sarcastic post.

They've been on more dates than most people, including you, so you're just jelly as fuck.

Yeah but saying he's chicken shit and an arsehole is unnecessarily agressive. OP probably has come back cos he's having a good look at his life... hopefully.

To be honest, both the beviour and thought process the OP is exhibiting are frankly dangerous.
She's been honest with him twice about the fact she doesn't want a relationship but he's continuing to hang around her entertaining the fantasy that she'll eventually fall for him.
It's possessive and narcissistic which is a horrible combination that tends not to end well.
Not sure getting that many dates and still being at the same spot counts as a positive.
What if this poster is the girl OP is chasing and this is her passive-aggressive way of saying that she's ready to drop a lawsuit?

Don't project your weird shit onto other people. Also, don't be an asshole in general
random fun kumdo fact: if one were to practice kumdo, they would have their sword sheathed at their side like that, and would draw it to a neutral position with a downward slash: fancy spins are optional, but encouraged
but yeah, shitty for profit martial arts schools are cultural appropriation on the part of dubiously credentialed "instructors", tbh
if people are gonna practice a traditional martial art, they gotta RESPECT it and not be an edgelord
(i have no way to judge that guy, and protecting babies is more respectable than whining about women not respecting your (lack of proper technical) skills)

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Please tell me this is real, and not something someone mashed together to make us laugh.
can we kill this thread and repurpose it to be about people poorly appropriating traditional martial arts
inner strength guy IS holding his sword incorrectly, but as it was said the text was probably shopped onto the picture, i hope
if not, dude needs to learn about humility and the virtue of helping others in need (even if they were rude to you once)
...
what's the deal with people who call every martial art "karate"? they must be stopped
i do know almost nothing about kendo and other japanese swordfighting styles, so you could definitely pull a jape on me there

I'm your biggest fan, but I guess that's just not good enough
Is it cause I wear my hair in or because I like to play Diablo
Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking 'bout
Cause I really don't wanna have to spell it out
And next time you call me
I'm gon' sit and stare at the screen
Waiting for the call to end
You stuck me in the friendzone
That's that bullshit
I'm gonna play Diablo either way
You can go or you can go
Because I'd rather play Mortal Kombat anyway, hey
I want a love like Johnny Cage
If you're not bringing bottles I suggest you start to walk away
Bitch don't kill my vibe
I can tell you've kinda got uncomfortable
So let me break it down for you
Don't call me, don't text me, after 2am
Unless you plan on giving me some
Cause I got enough friends
I will throw you in the garbage
'Cause you play too many games
I'm better off by myself
Loving you's bad for my health
No one wants to be in the

I was describing the video sent to me. And it just so happened to be her having big ol' black penis stuffed in her butthole. That's exactly what it was.
I took the L. I didn't pursue.
