I have definitely used 1, 2, and 3 on my boyfriend in just our normal texting. I think this woman is being way too subtle if thats how she tells people she isn't interested.

All of those texts are very subjective and don't always mean friend zone. It all depends on the person and situation really.

I hate how so many people act like relationship experts these days. Most are just fools looking for quick money, attention or whatever.

This reminds me of a radio host here. She gives dating and love advice- but she's been through several divorces! Now I don't know all the details on those divorces- but going through so much stuff doesn't always make you an expert. I personally would rather get advice from someone that's currently in a long relationship. Not someone that constantly goes through bad stuff. Sure perhaps the guy is to blame for each her divorces, but I somehow doubt it. Divorce happens for many reasons- and plenty of times its because of both people.

I've done 2, 4, 5, 8, and 12. 2 and 4 are essentially the same thing, you're brushing someone off with the pretext of busy-ness - the fact is I DON'T check my phone at work and me and my friends often mess around on our devices while we're hanging out so I would have no problem texting then lol.

Some of those can apply to avoiding people who are trying to be friends but that you don't really want to be friends with either.

I don't get 1, because what's brush off about telling someone to have a good night? That makes zero sense to me, that's literally just manners. And I do sometimes use it to stop talking to people, but not as a long term brush off, it's usually because I'm either legitimately tired or overwhelmed from talking too much.

3 can go either way - I sometimes use it as a brush off if I'm angry at someone or if I'm not interested, or sometimes I'm just not feeling chatty. Though again, I'm more likely to ignore a text for the time being if that's the case.

As someone who lacks initiative romantically (I'm terrified of rejection), 7 doesn't make sense to me either. I'm not likely to make even subtle maneuvers to gauge someone's interest (like how they suggest someone would ask what they were up to that weekend) and am always asking people how things are going because I'm engaged in other people's lives. And it's good manners.

Well... Machete would never do that...

I'm gonna start calling it "the unicorn zone"

Let's call it, the "The zone that katy doesn't believe it exists"

What about someone who wants to seriously commit?

All of these sound like someone who just wants to get in a woman's pants.

^ Nowadays, saying Hi to a woman would be considered trying to get in her pants.

Best headache-free solution: Never to initiate any talk to women.
