I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. How can I tell if I've been "friend zoned"? I have almost no dating experience. I've been living next door to this woman with two kids for the past few months and I'm only just starting to get to know her. It seems like the more I learn about her the more I like her but the situation she's in with her ex is kind of intense and she says she can't really be in a relationship right now, she's just looking for a guy friend she can "have fun with" as she put it, which is sort of what I want too. We've only really hung out a few times and whenever we do we're always up pretty late talking (mostly her talking actually, she needed someone to talk to and I was willing to listen and keep her company). This whole situation is a bit more complicated than this but thats the gist of it.
