However, I kept telling myself that if I helped her through her troubles, she would see that I was the one for her. I had this vision of living that scene in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts kisses Richard Gere on the lips after saying that this is one thing she never does with clients. It took me a while to get over her. Friends and family urged me to resist calling her and to make her call me. Had a confrontation with her in her school library and luckily I met a nicer, more mature Malaysian girl when I served an internship at Citibank Singapore .
While the truth is, there are worse places to be than in the friend zone. While it may not be the relationship that you want to be in, a good friendship can add value to your life. I remember telling when I had my other interesting relationships that “friendship implies that there’s two-way traffic.”
However, if there’s no two-way traffic, then you are not in the friend zone. You’re somewhere worse. You are in the feeding parasite zone. Whilst parasites are initially fun to hang around, they end up draining you and the sooner you remove them, the better it will be for your sanity.
