As someone who was recently friend zoned, I respected how honest and straightforward the person was towards me.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gay person successfully friendzone someone.

Met a guy before pandemic. Hooked up a few times before and in first half of pandemic (we were both very careful about isolating at home), then I stopped seeing him when I got scared about pandemic risks around Thanksgiving. It drifted into friend zone early spring, we hung out outdoors until we got vaccinated, and I was totally enjoying being friends (hang out maybe once a month max last 6-8 mo). Then this weekend he noticed me on Grindr, sent a very direct message, and the pendulum has swung back from friend zone to fun zone. I think it might be FWB now? I’m just going with it and see what happens. This doesn’t answer your question, might just add ambiguity. 😂

Today I invited him over for some fun. He wasn’t interested. He sent pics of someone he met yesterday. 🙄 I said I was confused we didn’t do anything beyond movie cuddling the other day. He said maybe let’s be friends because you might get confused otherwise. This was the guy who 1-2 weeks ago texted and said “I need to come over now and want ****” which is what I essentially did today. This is a roller coaster. 🙃

Say buddy lol thankfully whoever came up with that trick is a godsend

I would be honest. Nothing beats that. It may be slightly difficult but for sure more direct than giving mixed signals.
Perhaps say something like: 'hey, I really enjoy hanging out with you. But I don't find my romantically inclined to you. I would still like to have you in my life - as a friend. I know it might not be what you were expecting, but that's how I feel'

Just say.. "How are you bro? "... If he is smart, he will get it.

Tangent, how do to politely tell someone to fuck off? Met with friends for drinks once, now every other day "how are you doing?" Via Instagram or FB, or text. #stalker

I reply once or twice out of courtesy and then 👻

Just be direct, best way to go! Or at least something delicate and positively spun like, “I’m so glad to have you as a friend”

I don’t know if coming out is something I should do or not anymore. My girlfriend and I want to get married in the next couple of years but thats not something I want to keep secret. It hurts me that I feel like I have to do that, but I don’t want to risk losing my job. I know they can’t fire me for being in a wlw relationship but they don’t have to give a reason. I don’t want the backlash of the community either since the area I teach in is really rural. Just sad I guess.
