Скачать или смотреть You're Not Her Friend | The Friend Zone Trap Explained

Meet Mike, 28, from Chicago. He's been best friends with Sarah for three years. They talk every day, hang out constantly, share inside jokes. But he's secretly been in love with her the entire time. And she has no idea he's been keeping score of every favor he does for her.

On this episode of The Reaper, Mike calls in seeking relationship advice about the friend zone—or rather, about why his best friend won't date him despite all the "boyfriend things" he does for her. Rex has a different take: Mike isn't actually her friend. He's an undercover boyfriend auditioning for a role she never cast him in.

Rex doesn't hold back. He cuts through the rationalization and helps Mike see the uncomfortable truth about his own behavior—that he's been lying to her and to himself about what the friendship actually is.

In this episode, you'll discover:
• The difference between real friendship and the "nice guy" trap
• Why "the friend zone" isn't something women put you in—it's where you put yourself
• How to recognize when you're keeping score of kindness expecting repayment
• The only two options Mike actually has (and why waiting is self-torture)
• How to confess feelings without making it weird

If you've been in the friend zone—or if you recognize yourself in Mike's behavior—this episode is for you. Drop your answer in the comments: Should Mike confess his feelings and risk the friendship, or accept that she'll never see him that way?
