Do you think "friendzoning" is a better way to rebuff someone's romantic advances instead of flat-out refusal? Why or why not?

C’mon now, think about this carefully. A woman saying she just wants to be friends is a refusal. In what universe is it not? I’m having trouble understanding what it is you want women to do to you if they’re not interested in your game plan for romance.

You really want them to, as soon as you express to them that you like them and want to date them, say that, no, I don’t want to date you, and in fact, please get out of my life because I never want to see you again? Because that’s what it sounds like.

Quit setting up “heads I win, tails you lose” situations for the women you’re attracted to. Maybe try being their friend, oh God what a concept.
