The "friend zone" concept is quite an old one, but the Merriam-Webster dictionary has recently defined it. It refers to two friends having a relationship wherein one wants it to turn into a romantic one while the other only wants it to remain a friendly one. Many of us have experienced it, whether we belong to the friend-zoner or friend-zone. However, it isn't a very nice state to be in. Let us look at some of the friend zone signs, so you can spot one easily and back out timely.

Friend Zone Signs: Are You Just a Friend or More than That?

Here are some common signs of friend zone that can assist you in identifying this relationship.
1

Talk With You About Others They're Dating

If the friend you like talks with you about the other guys she is dating, then this means she is friend-zoning you. She might be doing this to check your response and see if you become jealous. If she says the person she's dating is a big jerk, then you might not be in her friend-zone. However, if she genuinely likes the other guy, you'd better be happy for them as a good friend.

2

Tag Along Others When You Invite Them

Does that particular friend of yours invite others along when you ask her out? If yes, then this is one of the biggest signs you're in the friend zone. If she does really like you, she would want to be with you alone. However, if she's afraid to go out with you alone because she likes you a lot, then notice where she sits when you guys are out in a group. If she shares a seat or couch with you, she does like you.

3

No Physical or Intimate Contact

One of the common friend zone signs is to observe if that friend has any physical or intimate contact with you. If yes, she likes you, but if she pulls herself away each time you touch her casually, then it's a sign of friendzone. However, if she doesn't pull away from you, but never really touches you either, you are still being friend-zoned.

4

Inquire You About Your Other Female Friends

If your crush constantly inquires you about all the other girls you spend time with, then it could mean two things. Either, she wants to find out the kind of girl you'd like to go on a date with, or she wants to know whether or not you're available. This is an optimistic version. The downside could be that she might be trying to hint at you to see other girls and leave her alone.

5

Appear Casually in Front of You

If she never works on her appearance when she hangs out with you and always comes out casually, you could tell that she's not interested in you romantically. In this case, you probably have been friend-zoned, so just back off and be a good friend to her.

6

You Two Watch an Entire Movie

If you two watch an entire movie without showing any intimate gesture, then it is one of the friend zone signs. If she casually places her head right on your shoulder, you are also being friend-zoned. To check out if or not you're being cornered in this terrible zone, place your arm gently around her waist or back. If she moves away, then you know exactly where you're standing in this relationship.

7

Go Shopping with You

Does she often ask you to accompany her on a shopping trip? If yes and you often find yourself helping her pick out the right shoe, top or handbag, then you are being pushed in the friend zone. If not and she's asking your opinion of what lingerie she should buy and she isn't dating anyone, then she may be signaling you to make the first move.

8

Asks for Your Advice

If she asks you for advice on what things guys look for when finding the perfect woman, then it means her eyes are set on some other guy. She wants your advice so she could do something to make that guy notice her.

9

Shares a Bed with You

Did she sleep on a bed with you without engaging in any physical activity? If yes is your answer, then it is one of the clear signs of friend zone. If you still want to try your luck, then try touching her when you two are alone on a bed. If she jerks you away, you need to back off for good.

10

Whether or Not Their Family Knows About You

If your crush's family often inquires why the two of you aren't a couple yet, then you are in the terrible zone. If you know each one of her family members, then it is one of the friend zone signs because if she really likes you, then letting you meeting her family is a big deal for her.

11

Other Signs that You Are in the Friend Zone

If you find yourself consoling the girl you like after she breaks up with someone, then it is a big red flag of the fact that you're being friend-zoned.

If your crush tries to set you up with someone, then it is one of the clear cut signs of the friend zone you are dreading.

If your crush did like you, she would try to do the things you like. However, if you end up doing everything she is interested in doing and are paying heed to her orders, then you are lurking in the friend zone.
