how it feels to not recognize seamless gif and wait for some progress

[–]rainbowroll 14 points15 points ago

Is this better?

[–]Unit4 8 points9 points ago

No, now she is a slut and you don't want her anymore.

[–]ThitherSlinky 1 point2 points ago

Sure he doesn't.

[–]Skilol 27 points28 points ago

Stupid cat.

I've watched it running for 20 minutes now, and still it doesn't realize how useless its running is.

In minute 21 she totally races to the top. It's awesome.

[–]Rocktard 16 points17 points ago

Killing the joke 101

[–]frankoftank 32 points33 points ago

How it feels when the girl isn't into you and you can't take a hint.

[–]Siethron 12 points13 points ago

To be fair most girls are horrible at their hints

[–]EmergencyMedical 8 points9 points ago

This. Usually because of mixed signals. If you can't hint, try just being honest.

[–]Unit4 2 points3 points ago

They are trying to be nice. If you think about it, though, the nicest, least painful thing you can do is just be honest. Sit down, say how you feel, and leave it at that. If you aren't into the guy, tell him bluntly. If you do care about him still, and want to be friends, let him know that as well. This is worst case, really, because then you have to choose whether or not you're ok with a platonic relationship, but otherwise you cut losses and can move on. Best case, she feels the same and you figured it out finally.

Honestly, I was "friend zoned" in high school, but even then I could figure it out, told the girl how I felt finally and it was hard to hear she liked someone else since I had gotten so close to her over the year or whatever. In the end, it worked out ok, she told me she didn't see me that way and I was fine just being her close friend. Sure, it stung a bit when she would complain about what kind of asshole-like thing her latest boyfriend did, but I didn't complain because I put myself in that position. I later found a girl that liked me and we were together for almost 3 years, learned a lot from that, but that is another story entirely.

TL;DR: Communication is important in any relationship, even one that hasn't started yet.

[–]randombabble 0 points1 point ago

You are lucky if the girl gives you hints. Some enjoy the attention and know that its more advantageous to keep you as a friend.

[–]EmergencyMedical 0 points1 point ago

That would mean that she's very manipulative. In which case, I would end whatever kind of relationship I had with her. And so should any guy in that situation.

[–]randombabble 0 points1 point ago

But that's every guy that are being friend-zoned.

[–]ThitherSlinky 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, guys tend to think that unless you act significantly different towards them than towards all your other friends (you know, smiling, laughing, not running away screaming when they talk to you) then that means you like them. When all it mean is a very neutral I'm-not-changing-my-basic-behavior-when-around-you-so-far.

[–]Oheina 0 points1 point ago

Nuh uh! It's pretty obvious. "I like him, so whatever I do, I can't look at him. Also, I have to appear completely uninterested, but laugh way too hard at his jokes." Am I missing anything?

[–]ThitherSlinky 0 points1 point ago

That girls are just as nervous and awkward as boys and not doing it on purpose?

[–]Oheina 0 points1 point ago

I guess you didn't catch the sarcasm in my last comment. I'm a girl, and I know that what I said was absolutely true, and that some girls do it on purpose. I do, sometimes.

[–]bobbieluvsya 1 point2 points ago

What? Naw, man, she smiles at me and last week she called me by my name. She wants me, totally.

[–]raintothebird 3 points4 points ago

story of my fucking life...

[–]bricardo 0 points1 point ago

It's not fucking Cluedo. I'm not interested in you. Boom, done.

[–]stewie650 0 points1 point ago

At first I thought I was just being friend zone'ed then I realized that wasn't the case I just kept getting rejected so I've moved on past that. :) I now play World of Tanks and fap more often.

[–]Manhair 0 points1 point ago

People who don't like your comment also don't like making a move and possibly failing. And just think, if these "friend zoned" people did make a move and get rejected it could actually jeopardize the friendship, so it all comes down to this.... Make your move if you want to it but if not, then just do yourself a favor and move on.

[–]carlstheodv 10 points11 points ago

How can you not know? Wasn't the first time she said "no" a big enough hint?

You did ask her out... didn't you?

[–]EmergencyMedical -1 points0 points ago

The problem comes when you ask her out, and you mean a date, and she thinks you just mean hangout. But you don't know that she just thought of it as "hanging out"

[–]rip_u_raw4 12 points13 points ago

Do people honestly still think friend zoning is a legitimate thing...? :/

[–]Epiicuros 0 points1 point ago

Well if you can explain it then its technically a thing. Still pathetic to bitch it about though.

[–]imsparticus 4 points5 points ago

I sent my mum this gif because she loves funny cat videos. I called about 15 minutes later about something else only to hear her answer with hysterical laughing 'the cats still going! i cant believe it! when is it going to realise?..."

I had no words....

[–]garbieleus 4 points5 points ago

If you don't know you're being friend zoned, how would you know how it feels???

[–]goblinpiledriver 4 points5 points ago

Hindsight?

And for the rest of you, a pro tip: Tell her how you feel. I tried it once. Failed miserably, but at least I know now.

[–]end_guy 4 points5 points ago

Also how it feel trying to get karma/be funny on reddit.

[–]Unit4 1 point2 points ago

This one is acceptable. After spending enough time on here and I feel so cynical. I used to enjoy pictures of fails and jokes about the friend zone and even a rage comic once in awhile, now I hate everything.

[–]swaggs262 1 point2 points ago

I really just wanted it to make it to the top at the end to validate my efforts... It never did

[–]Psythik 1 point2 points ago

After all these years, I finally noticed where the loop point is on that gif. (hint: watch the back legs)

[–]zeohyr 1 point2 points ago

upvote for the gif. Will be very useful

[–]BlondieDerpina 1 point2 points ago

That is exactly how I feel trying to come up at work.

[–]northshore12 1 point2 points ago

Watching this video high has been one of the greatest ideas of all time.

[–]zehockeyman 1 point2 points ago

Just got a text after a fight, said " I hate fighting with you, glad we can still be FRIENDS"

[–]gusatron51 0 points1 point ago

you'll never go where you want to :(

[–]TunedDownGuitar 0 points1 point ago

Also known as "My career.gif"

[–]harratic 0 points1 point ago

I just realized I was in this situation a few days ago when she told me so...eff..

[–]Grex532 0 points1 point ago

I laughed, then started worrying if this was me....

[–]TRAUMAjunkie 0 points1 point ago

That gif honestly only needed 4 or 5 frames.

[–]osakanone 0 points1 point ago

Took me a full minute to realise it was just a loop -- I kept waiting for him to climb up or fall off

What am I doing with my life

[–]claudesoph 0 points1 point ago

No.

[–]theguybesidesyou 0 points1 point ago

That's deep

[–]Brittanica6 0 points1 point ago

Whoa... Where is the stop and end to this gif?! Pretty damn good gif

[–]remididios -1 points0 points ago

i know that feels bro

[–]Verdris -4 points-3 points ago

If you don't know you're friendzoned, how do you know how it feels?
