How to tell if you've been friend zoned?

[Cognizant]

It's a stupid question, I know, but hear me out. Basically, there's this girl in my Marine Bio and Economics class that I talk to a lot. I mean we don't "click" like most romantic couples do, but I do find her somewhat attractive and somewhat easy to talk to (keep in mind that's a rarity for me). I was thinking of asking her to the homecoming dance in a few weeks, but idk, I have a feeling that I may have been friend zoned.

But I don't really know how to tell if someone has friend zoned me, or if they're into me, so on and so on. So I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to tell if I've been friend zoned, and what course of action you think I should take. I haven't had the best of luck with women in the past so any advice is appreciated....

You can never actually know until you ask. Go ahead, ask her to the dance. Walk right up to her with confidence and ask. If she says no, well. There you go. That is the answer. The chances are that she will say yes. Many girls will make a point to talk to males about other males that they find attractive, this is always a good sign of friend zoning. But that is far too obvious and you would have already known.

Go ask her. You will regret it if you don't.

I'm friend zoned 3 times right now so I consider myself somewhat of an expert on this, and to be honest, you would know till you ask, unless they say so ethong like "ohh your such a good friend, I hope I never lose you as a friend", you know, unless its been made painfully obvious, but unless it has, you can't really know, and come on, its o nly home comming, its not like your asking her dodut or anything, its just one night.

Well really, yeah, you have to talk to her more and ask her promptly.

And just to let you know, just because she says "You're a really good friend," it doesn't mean she's friendzoned you. I heard my friend (before I met her), she used to always be like "You're my bestest friend" and hey look, she's going out with him now.

Just do what you do and ask her, that's all it is really.

When walk up to the girl you like, ask her out with a couple compliments thrown in and, wait for it... She rejects you using the words she has on her shirt.

Ask her

You will never know unless you talk to her and invite her. It is just a school dance and I'm sure whether or not you guys are at the friends level, it shouldn't be a problem. The worst that can happen is rejection. It happens to everyone and it's not a big deal. But you'll will never know unless you step up and talk.
