22M. Just got the 8th friendzone text in the last 6 months. I’m so confused and tired at this point. What do I even do? Hinge?
Friend zoned 8th time in a row. Feel like a total loser. How do I even move on from this?

Are you explicitly asking them on dates and expressing romantic interest early upon getting to know them?
Take it on the chin and move on.
Keep getting friendzoned and dying a little more inside until you don’t care. Then you’ll be confident. Then you’ll get a girlfriend.
It sucks. Sorry, man. I would cut ties, though, with those women if you haven’t already.
I’ll tell you this: There is no such thing as the friendzone unless you put yourself there. You aren’t entitled to a relationship, and women aren’t entitled to your friendship. If you can honestly enjoy their company without wanting more, without holding on to hope that the situation will change in the future, then enjoy your new friendship! You can have very fulfilling friendships with women AND it’ll help you develop social skills when taking to women.
If you can’t do that, if you’re honest with yourself and you want more than a friendship with this person, then tell them honestly and bow out of their life. Trust me, it’ll hurt a lot less in the long term.
If you are still in decent standing with this person or others that have “friendzoned” you, you could just straight up ask them if they have any advice for you in terms of finding a relationship. They might be able to give their own insight into things you could do to up your chances with other women.
You’re still very young. Don’t give into despair. It sucks, but it’s part of learning. Take the opportunity to get through the immediate pain of it, and then maybe hit up a therapist that specializes in relationships. It could really help you unpack some stuff from your past that might be tripping you up. It’s worth a shot.
Move on and don’t be so eager.
You only need to find the right one once. So keeps going.
Relish in your youth and ability to make so many friends. You will only get more busy the more responsibilities you take on.
Get a gym membership, invest in a good diet, and spend time on yourself. Once you feel better about yourself, it will project onto the people around you.
Never chase, replace. Let some other fool do that shit. If there isn’t mutual interest, you are wasting your time.
Drop the term “friend zoned” cuz it makes you seem like an incel. And I mean that in the most mold way possible. Nobody owes anyone romance no matter what. Sometimes you click and usually you don’t. That’s ok. Move on and find someone that actually likes you. If you keep trying to force something that’s not there then you’ll end up with someone you don’t actually like. Love isn’t effortless but it shouldn’t be a burden, either.
I mean you’ve tried getting on 8 people in 6 months, how are any going to take you seriously when you’re speed running like this
