Egungun be careful na friendzone you dey go!
When you are attracted to a person–you try your best to make it known, and if you both are on the same page, the ship sails. However, sometimes the other person does not feel the same way you do, so they relegate you to the friend zone which by any stretch of the imagination, is a tough spot to be in.
I mean, great men and women have been reduced to emotional wrecks because of this romantic pothole. Luckily, you can still retrace your steps back because I will be sharing with you the signs that prove that you are well on your way to being friendzoned.
Are you ready?
1. They Call You Bro/Sis
Fine. The concept of having an attaché family member, like, random people calling you bro or sis is not totally strange, at least not in this part of the world.
But when it starts coming from someone you have romantic interests in, it is a sign – as in Times Square billboard sign, that you are on the express train to the friend zone.
Egungun, be careful!
2. Asks You For Relationship Advice
They are so comfortable with you that they have no qualms offloading all of their relationship woes on you. Before you know it, you are now an agony aunt, dishing out advice at your beloved’s whim and hoping that one day, they find the light and come to you.
They may never do so, and if this isn’t your cue to get the hell out of Dodge, I don’t know what is.
3. Never Bothers To Look Nice–For You
There are levels to being comfortable with a person. I mean, even starving geniuses with little or no sense of fashion make efforts to look peng for the person they like.
It’s a bit understandable when they are not privy to your visit, but when you both go out and they still see no reason to put themselves together, just commot mind–before you enter mud.
4. Say You Are Perfect–But For Others
Well, there are only two explanations for this–and none of them make a lick of sense. They feel like you are too good for them and they don’t deserve you or vice versa.
Like I said; no sense in it, except breakfast and vibes. You have all our blessings to run without looking back, it is not worth the heart ache.
5. Never Seen Alone With You
If you have been missing this signal, take a log of your activities with them for the past three months. How often have you prompted a date and it turned out to be a clique thing?
See, there is no such thing as a coincidence- they know what they are doing. The earlier you hightail it from there, the better.
PS: All of these pearls of wisdom I just shared are from the goodness of my heart- and not a result of one breakfast too many. Peace🙄! And just in case you’re already in the friendzone, take our advice on how to get out of there.
