Jason M Quinapondan - Cheers for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed this playlist. Information technology made me feel young again writing information technology.

Jason Behm from Cebu, Philippines on December 07, 2018:

This brings me to my youthful days! The feeling that you thought in that location was something special but then it turned out to exist still in the friend zone. It brought a smile listening to some of the songs. :)

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 26, 2018:

Suhail - It's funny how many people won't admit it!

You are 100% correct Flourish! I distinctly recall being friend zoned by a girl who went out to run across the flick Conflicting II with me back in the solar day LOL!

Regards,

Suhail

FlourishAnyway (author) from U.s. on November xx, 2018:

Suhail - I similar both of those songs. Most of us accept been friend zoned or banished someone to the friend zone at one time or another. I hear about information technology now from my immature readers, teenage and twentysomething relatives and their peers. Have a slap-up calendar week and Happy Thanksgiving if y'all celebrate information technology.

Suhail Zubaid aka Clark Kent from Mississauga, ON on Nov 19, 2018:

OMyDawg! Layla by Eric Clapton I used to exist crazy virtually.

Keen list in which I also related with Mr. Big ha-ha.

Btw, cheers for explaining Friend Zone in the very get-go :-)

Regards,

Suhail

Genna East from Massachusetts, USA on Nov 11, 2018:

Serendipity; spindipity..delightful words to describe this article. What a wonderful topic for this series. The list of songs is wonderful; every bit for my fav, I headed for "Layla" like a homing dove. :-) Thank yous for bringing a smile to my solar day.

Mary Norton from Ontario, Canada on November 11, 2018:

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 10, 2018:

Tim, Cheers for your kind comment. I take so many more than ideas. I may never end. Hope you're having a good weekend!

Tim Truzy from U.South.A. on November 09, 2018:

Hullo, Flourish,

Your play list are always interesting. I never know what might show up.

You keep the turn-tables (Oops! Mp3 players) moving forth.

Cracking work and always positive.

"And the trounce goes on."

Thanks for keeping u.s.a. motivated through music and nifty articles.

Much respect and adoration,

Tim

FlourishAnyway (writer) from USA on November 09, 2018:

Tim - Twilight Zone indeed! I've heard of poor souls who wait it out in the friend zone for several years, hoping their friend will somehow magically encounter them as something more. Doesn't commonly happen when someone's getting everything they need in the current situation though. Thanks for your support. Have a wonderful weekend!

FlourishAnyway (author) from Us on Nov 09, 2018:

Pamela - Thank yous for your kind encouragement. I appreciate your loyalty. Have a wonderful weekend! It's very rainy here. Hope it's sunnier in Florida.

Tim Truzy from U.s.a.A. on November 09, 2018:

First-class, Flourish. Wonderful list. The friend zone sounds a lot similar the Twilight Zone, and I don't want to visit in that location either. Merely I've probably been at that place, and probably sent a few to the "friend zone" in my life.

Interesting play listing. New songs to explore.

As always, entertaining and informative,

Have a swell weekend,

Sincerely,

Tim

Pamela Oglesby from Sunny Florida on Nov 09, 2018:

At that place really is a song near any sceneio you can think of! This is an interesting topic, although dating for me has been quite some time. I only knew a few of the songs, only I like listening to many of them and reading what you write about them.

FlourishAnyway (writer) from Usa on Nov 09, 2018:

Shannon - That's groovy to hear. I wish her well!

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 09, 2018:

Linda - Not a place I'd desire to be. As well complicated, supposed to be simple. Cheers for reading along even though I was certain you lot didn't know any of these songs! Have a wonderful weekend!

Linda Crampton from British Columbia, Canada on November 08, 2018:

Your vocal descriptions are always interesting to read, Flourish. I don't know any of the songs in your collection, simply I enjoyed learning about the friend zone. The zone sounds like a circuitous place to exist.

FlourishAnyway (writer) from USA on Nov 08, 2018:

Heidi - Information technology's the FWB relationships that get me. People accept always done that sort of affair merely they've often been less blatant about it. Information technology's a new historic period. Hope you're doing well! Have a swell Friday and weekend ahead!

Shannon Henry from Texas on November 08, 2018:

Oh, I meant to tell you lot that someone told Amy Rose y'all listed her vocal "Sunshine" on one of your lists and she was beyond excited near information technology. She had a FB postal service about information technology.

Heidi Thorne from Chicago Expanse on Nov 08, 2018:

I didn't know information technology was called the friend zone either. But I guess that term describes information technology. I have, all the same, heard of friends with benefits. ;) I also didn't know there were so many tunes about this complicated relationship. If I call up of some from the dusty athenaeum, I'll add to the list. But this one has me stumped.

Happy Thursday!

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Dora, I become lots of questions from young people nigh dating and their love interests. They are often very concerned near how to get from just friends to more than that, and then I thought I idea this was an especially appropriate playlist for them and others facing the dilemma.

I'm sure missing your lovely writing. Promise you lot are doing well.

FlourishAnyway (author) from Us on November 08, 2018:

Linda - Some of my readership leans young and I'chiliad trying to entreatment to some of the topics they enjoy while as well keeping their elders current on the trends! Yous might surprise someone very youthful in your life that you know the term by slipping information technology into conversation. Their eyes will probably bug out but it'll testify you know what'southward going on in the world! I often joke with my husband that if he'south non practiced, he's going right into the friend zone. He simply shakes his head.

Linda Lum from Washington State, The states on November 08, 2018:

Flourish, I'chiliad so old and have been in a committed human relationship for so long (decades!!!) that I didn't even know the expression "friend zone." I exercise, withal, recognize some of these songs. A fun list for certain.

Dora Weithers from The Caribbean on November 08, 2018:

Although I've guessed information technology, I think the analogy in your introduction is the beginning explanation of Friend Zone I have read. As usual, you have selected very interesting, appropriate songs. Swell lists!

FlourishAnyway (author) from United states of america on November 08, 2018:

James - In the end, nosotros all end up sometime, wrinkled and hunched over, a mere extravaganza of what we were in our glory days, so the friendship we share with our partners better be awful good -- lots of shared memories, tolerance, within jokes, and appreciation for the mundane details of life. Equally exciting as the spicy stuff may be, that can't final forever, but the friendship certain can.

FlourishAnyway (writer) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Liz - Thanks for stopping by.

James C Moore from Joliet, IL on November 08, 2018:

I idea of two people when I offset saw what your musical compilation list was about. Milhouse and Lisa from the Simpsons came to heed. The friend zone concept seems to become confronting relationship advice. Oftentimes, I've heard that the cardinal to successful marriages are that the partners are get-go and foremost best friends. And then, it would seem the best partner would be 1 who is proven equally a friend.

Liz Westwood from UK on November 08, 2018:

Another comprehensive list of songs on a theme.

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Shannon - Thanks for that song addition. I beloved John Michael Montgomery! I appreciate you lot.

Shannon Henry from Texas on November 08, 2018:

Proficient list idea. LOL. Does "Friends" by John Michael Montgomery count?

FlourishAnyway (author) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Poppy - Sometimes the friend zone is a person's inability to take "no" for an answer. When that happens, the friend zoned person has no one to blame merely themselves. Usually they don't encounter information technology that mode, however. Glad you're enjoying married life.

FlourishAnyway (writer) from The states on November 08, 2018:

Bill - Some of these were a trivial difficult to generate, but I had fun with this i. It was for my younger readers who write me a LOT of Q&Every bit about dating relationships. Thank you for sticking with me. Have a great day, buddy!

FlourishAnyway (writer) from USA on November 08, 2018:

Oh, dear Clive, As lovely every bit you are, my married man has asked me to honor my previous commitment to him. He's super chill only kinda takes those vow things to heart. So sorry, simply can we still be friends?

Bill The netherlands from Olympia, WA on November 08, 2018:

I drew a blank on this topic...total blank. Then I saw your entries and I was like "DUH!"

Clive Williams from Jamaica on November 08, 2018:

Flourish...I would similar to leave the Friend Zone,,,lets date.

Poppy from Enoshima, Japan on November 07, 2018:

Great listing! I often hear or see on the internet (mostly men, but the odd adult female too) complaining that they accept been put in the "friend zone." As a married woman, I'grand glad I don't accept to deal with that sort of drama anymore, as it tin can sometimes pb to bitter feelings from one or both parties.
