If a woman uses these 7

phrases in a
conversation, she sees
you as a friend not a
romantic prospect
Navigating the tricky waters of relationships can be a real challenge.

Is she into you, or are you just a friend? It’s not always clear cut.

Here’s the thing: Women often use specific phrases when they’re dealing
with someone they see as just a friend, not a romantic prospect.

And by tuning into these verbal cues, you can save yourself from
unnecessary heartbreak.

This isn’t about manipulating her or trying to change her mind.

It’s about understanding and respecting her feelings.

By the way, as the person behind Love Connection blog and having spent
years studying relationships, I’ve seen it all.

So you’re in good hands!

So, ready to get some clarity?

Let’s dive into these phrases that signal you’re firmly in the ‘friend zone’.
1) “You’re such a good friend”
This might probably be one of the most evident phrases that clearly says
you’re in the friend zone.

When a woman constantly reminds you of what a ‘good friend’ you are,
it’s her subtle way of defining the relationship.

Now, being a good friend isn’t a bad thing.

It’s actually one of the highest compliments she can give you. It means she
trusts you and values your presence in her life.

But if you’re romantically interested in her, and she’s dropping the ‘friend’
word frequently, it could be her polite way of telling you she doesn’t feel
the same way romantically.

Remember, it’s not an outright rejection, and it doesn’t mean she doesn’t
appreciate your friendship.

It just means that for now, she sees you as a valuable friend, not a potential
romantic partner.

2) “I wish I could find a guy


like you”
Contrary to what you might think, this phrase isn’t necessarily a sign
of romantic interest.

It might sound like she’s expressing a desire for someone with your
qualities, but what she’s really saying is she wants someone similar to you,
not you specifically.

It’s a bit counterintuitive, but this phrase is often used when a woman sees
you as a great friend and values your qualities, yet doesn’t see you as a
romantic option.

It’s a tricky line and can easily be misunderstood.


But the key here is in the phrasing – she’s looking for ‘a guy like you’, not
‘you’.

Don’t be disheartened though.

It means your qualities are admirable and desirable; it’s just that the
romantic spark might not be there for her.

3) “Isn’t she perfect for you?”


If she’s often trying to set you up with other women, it’s a pretty clear sign
that she sees you as a friend, not a romantic interest.

By doing this, she’s probably trying to help you find your own happy
relationship, just not with her.

I’ve touched upon this in my book, Breaking The Attachment: How To


Overcome Codependency in Your Relationship.

It’s all about understanding relationship dynamics and learning to value


yourself in the process.

Back to the point, if she’s playing matchmaker for you, it’s her way of
saying she values your friendship and wants to see you happy.

And while it might not be with her, it doesn’t take away from the
importance of your bond.

But remember, it’s essential not to let this affect your self-esteem.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to love and


relationships.

So, don’t take it personally. Instead, appreciate the fact that she cares
about your happiness enough to help you find it.

4) “I can tell you anything”


When a woman says she can tell you anything, it could mean she sees you
as a confidante and friend rather than a romantic partner.
She values your opinion and trusts you with her secrets and insecurities.

It reminds me of a quote by Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you


said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you
made them feel.”

In this case, you’ve made her feel safe and understood, which is a
testament to your character.

Being trusted to this level is a privilege.

It shows that she deeply values your friendship.

However, if you’re looking for more than friendship, it might be time to


have an honest conversation about your feelings.

Remember, it’s always better to communicate openly than to assume or


misinterpret signals.

It might be difficult, but trust me, clarity is the key to maintaining healthy
relationships.

5) “You remind me of my
brother”
Ah, the classic brother comparison.

This phrase is often a clear signal that she sees you in a familial or platonic
light rather than a romantic one.

When a woman compares you to her brother or any other close male
relative, it’s her way of telling you she enjoys your company and values
your friendship but doesn’t see you in a romantic light.

In my experience, this can feel confusing and maybe even a little


disappointing.

But it’s important to take this comparison for what it is: an indication of
deep trust and friendship.
While it might not be what you hoped for, being seen as a trustworthy and
reliable friend is a compliment in itself.

It shows that she feels comfortable and safe around you, which are
qualities that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

6) “I’m so glad we’re not


dating”
Now, this one might sting a bit. If she expresses relief or happiness that
you two are not in a romantic relationship, it’s a clear sign she sees you as
a friend only.

It’s not easy hearing this, especially if you were hoping for more.

But as Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of difficulty lies
opportunity.”

This might be an opportunity to appreciate the friendship you share and


understand her perspective more.

I’ve found that friendships often last longer than romantic relationships
and can be just as rewarding.

So take heart in the fact that she values your friendship and cherishes your
presence in her life.

7) “I really don’t want to ruin


our friendship”
This one is a bit more direct and can often be a tough pill to swallow.
When she uses this phrase, she’s explicitly stating that she values your
relationship as it is and doesn’t want to complicate things by adding
romantic feelings into the mix.

It’s raw, honest, and leaves little room for misinterpretation.

She’s making it clear that she cherishes your friendship too much to risk
losing it over unrequited romantic feelings.

While it’s not easy to hear, especially if you’re nursing feelings for her,
it’s important to respect her wishes and appreciate her honesty.

After all, a genuine friendship is something truly special and should be


cherished.

Remember, it’s okay to feel disappointed.

But also remember that her feelings are just as valid as yours, and
maintaining respect for each other regardless of the circumstances is what
keeps a friendship strong.

Understanding is the key


Deciphering the complex world of human emotions and relationships can
often feel like navigating a maze.

But by paying attention to the phrases we’ve explored, you can gain a
clearer understanding of where you stand in a woman’s life.

The takeaway here is not to view these phrases as a rejection, but rather as
an opportunity to understand and respect her feelings.

It could be that she values your friendship too much to risk losing it over
unrequited romantic feelings.

As someone who has spent years studying relationships, I can assure you
that friendships can be just as meaningful and fulfilling as romantic
relationships.

I’d like to leave you with this insightful video by Justin Brown, where he
explores the complexities of finding a life partner.
He shares his top insights to help you navigate the journey of finding a
compatible partner.

This video beautifully complements our topic, shedding light on the


intricacies of relationships and offering valuable advice.

Remember, every relationship, be it friendship or romance, is unique.

The key is understanding and respectful communication.

Keep these phrases in mind and use them as a guide to navigate your
relationships better.

Stay open-minded and remember, sometimes, the best relationships start


with a strong foundation of friendship.
