Is it normal that i don't mind getting friend-zoned?

Time and time again, I get friend zoned and every time I do, I get responses from my friends ranging from "unlucky", "bad luck" to even "sucks to be you". But why? Just because I got turned down for a date doesn't mean I should'nt be friends with a girl? I've made a friend and I want to keep it.

I don't fully understand what is so bad about the friend-zone, is it normal?

    it is normal, but sometimes you just want to be more than friends, thats why people say "sucks to be you", because if you ghet stronger feelings for her you cant get further

      Perhaps, but I've asked out most of my girl friends at one time or another. I get turned down then I just move on and get over her. I've done that plenty of times so it's nothnig special.

    Well...look...Getting friend zoned....will take its toll. I'm from the school of thought that men and women can be friends. I have friends that don't believe that. They believe one or the other is attracted and just hasn't admitted it. I disagree...to an extent. I have female friends that I have no sexual interest in at all. That said...I can still find them physically attractive and not be attracted to them.

    That said...if you want more to happen and you just can't close the deal...you're probably not very assertive. If that's the case....you'll likely grow out of it.

    It does suck to have feelings for someone and have them not reciprocated, but people take the whole "friend zone" thing way too far.

    You can't expect that just because you do this, this and this a girl (or guy) is going to like you. The biological and psychological process of how we choose who we are attracted to is a multifaceted web, and it boils down to the simple fact that you don't know what they want. If that's you, fantastic. If it isn't, don't go whining about being friend zoned or how she fucked you over... you can't make someone love you. We all have to deal with the fact that many people we like will not return the feelings. But more than likely you will find yourself one day in the position of not being able to feel for another person what they feel for you. That's kinda just how it goes sometimes
