Ladies, let's be real. According to society, being stuck in “the friendzone,” is not where you want to be. However, there are much worse places you can end up like in a rushed relationship or a bland friendship.

I know it might seem rough, but I am here to assure you that you are not alone and you will find the perfect guy for you one day.

From my experience, I can tell you that “the friendzone” isn’t the result of a bad situation, but it is actually a way of life. Yes, that cute guy you’ve been best friends with forever may be droning on to you about the girls that he is romantically interested in. And yes, that guy may come knocking on your door, begging for advice on how to swoon other girls.

This is not meant to break you down or to diminish your confidence.

In most cases, guys will put their closest friends of the female gender into “the friendzone” without trying to. Whether they are afraid of losing a great friend or they do not want to be in a relationship, guys will do all they can to not catch feelings for them. Though it may not seem like it, there are reasons why being in the friendzone is not as bad as it seems.

One of the best things about us girls who get stuck in “the friendzone,” (yes, I will admit that I have been there several times), is that we are not apologetic about who we are. We have a unique sense of confidence, despite the different flaws that we may have. If these little things guarantee us a spot in “the friendzone”, so be it.

Worst case scenario, we end up with yet another great guy friend and/or the blessing of not changing ourselves, or letting ourselves be changed by a guy.

Even if you think that you can’t relate to this, I believe that most of us have been shoved into the friendzone at some point during our lives. I know it seems like torture, and you feel powerless but always remember that we don’t typically get to choose who we’re attracted to.

The fact of the matter is, your best guy friend, the guy of your dreams may never be yours and that’s okay. There will always be other guys. You do not need a guy as a source of happiness.

Keep in mind that there will eventually be a guy who wants everything that make you the amazing, independent woman that you are. There will be a guy who sees you as their best friend and their girlfriend. It has happened to me once, and I’m sure it will happen again, eventually. I’d still settle for being “friendzoned” and happy with myself over being in a relationship and losing myself in the person I'm dating any day and ladies, you should too.
