I've known her forever, dated her once, always had feelings for her. I don't know if she knows I still do, but we flirt a little, hangout sometimes, mainly recently. However, she's in a relationship, and we never really talk that much except when were alone. I don't know if I'm being a *****, or if I'm just taking a road trip to the friend zone, which has already happened in our relationship.
There are multiple "friend zones" and only a few of them are valid awkward zones, most of them are just euphemisms for lack of courage. There's the "I'm nice to you but I'm not your type therefore you are mean for not dating me" zone which is pitiful The "We used to date and you moved on but I didn't" zone in which you should move on because it rarely if ever works outside of hollywood The "We've grown up together and I think making a move could shatter everything" zone which just needs you to man up The "I want to date you but due to location, distance, and other factors dating wouldn't work" zone which just kind of sucks And some others, looks like you are stuck in the second one I described and if so, just casually date around until either a) she breaks up with her current guy at which point, given some time, see if rekindling works or b) hold out long enough to realize she has moved on and you do the same.
Some ****face from my high school two grades down did this, she called rape, his family pulled strings, nothing happened. For the record I have disliked this kid since I met him.
