i gotta be honest, sometimes with friends to lovers, when the boy is pining after the girl, it more so feels like he’s expecting sex in return for his friendship
like his friendship comes with the condition that he receives sex
especially if they’ve been friends for years and years and the guy uses that as a reason why they should be together and why he deserves to sleep with her. like it comes off as he’s just been seeing her as a sexual object for that entire time
and then he’s all like “oh i’ve been friendzoned.” like regular friends don’t get friendzoned, they’re just friends. douchebags who go into a friendship with a woman hoping for and expecting sex get friendzoned
