Friend Zoned

It’s been a couple years already that they’ve been working together, and while Derek wasn’t crushing on Kara in the beginning, he definitely does now. They spend most of their work days in fairly close proximity. They talk and … like… secretly text each other all throughout the day (talking crap about coworkers). They even joke about how much worse the job would be if the other left. But, they’ve never hung out outside of work.

Travis & Heather have known each other now for about a year, and have hung out several times … but never alone together just the two of them, it's always with their group.

Tim met Laurel about two years ago, while he was still dating his ex. Laurel and Tim’s ex were and still are friends. But despite the breakup Laurel stayed friends with Tim. Generally speaking their friendship consisted of interacting on Facebook and occasionally texting. There’s been a few get-together they both ended up at, but Tim & Laurel never hung out exclusively.

Patrick and Sarah met through mutual friends at a bar on Ladies night. Patrick felt like he was knocking it out of the park with Sarah. He was making her laugh like crazy. He asked for her number at the end of the night and she gave it to him. When he did call her she answered, but told her she had made a mistake in giving him her number…

Kim and Tanner have been neighbors for a few years. Tanner immediately developed a crush on Kim. But here’s the kicker… Kim WAS married! BUT... She recently got a divorce and got custody of her two little kids. The past six months or so, whenever Kim needed help around the house Tanner was there to help!

Kelsey and Tyler have been friends since high school. But Tyler, despite spending tons of time with Kelsey on a daily basis, has never managed to work up the courage to really talk to her about how he feels. Tyler is pretty popular and not a bad looking dude. … BUT not only has he never had a girlfriend before, he’s never actually kissed a girl either.

Chris and Anna both swiped right on Tinder about 5 months ago… they seemed to click. They were talking all the time, and Anna even gave him her phone number and they started texting daily... but they have NEVER met in person!

Craig has been going to the same drive thru coffee place for quite a while, same time nearly every weekday. Sara always ends up being his barista. They always talk and she SEEMS overly friendly… she winks at him and she always leaves little notes like “XOXO” and other things. But understandably… Craig isn’t sure if she’s into him or just “really outstanding at customer service.”
