That source supports a much narrower point. Among respondents who already reported extramarital sex, 53.5% said the partner was a close personal friend.
It doesn't show that close friendship is the “leading cause” of affairs as it doesn't establish causation, compare the risk of cheating among people with versus without close friends or identify what triggered the affair.

I'm not sure you're making any point with this other than disloyal men cheat. The conclusions the report makes are of the disloyal men, not of a cause for their disloyalty.
E: beaten to it
Do you feel scared of having a friendship with another woman as you're too weak willed to control yourself?

Seek help for your depression. It is not going to help you in the dating game, most women will sense it and be massively turned off by it and that is why friend zoning is your normal.
To be fair, 1 and 2 are the same point, but my point was, has she actually said she just wants to be friends? Fair enough, if she has. It sounds like you decided that's what she wants though? You've then got annoyed with her and blocked her?!
**EDIT**
I was going to say, but then thought it might be a bit much, but much the same as @Housey... your posts suggest you might have your own stuff to deal with first?

Yeah, yeah, yeah...heard it all before over the past 40 years Ive been on this planet.
Men kid themselves too much thinking they can be friends with women. When soon as those women are in a relationships those 1 and 1 meet ups stop. Or if a guy has a lot of female friends (rare, unless he's gay) soon as he get a girlfriend. She will nip that in the bud straight away and knows exactly what she is doing.
Men who always defend the "men and women can be friends". When you look at their female friends they hang around with. None of them are butt ugly or deemed as unattractive. Because if they were, those men wouldn't be friends, hanging around with them.
I am friends with women unattractive to me in many ways. Looks wise, perhaps they are a bit fat for me. And personality wise. I have a laugh with them but they don't share many hobbies. And even on life plans.. They have kids I don't. I'd absolutely not date them. Are you saying I would? Or that I'm lying?
This blow my brain.

I get on with women more than men usually as I like to talk.. And I talk a lot! Go figure!
Its not about the gender specifically... first and foremost there is nothing wrong with a man being friends with a woman and vice versa, however it becomes an issue where a man has been placed into the friends zone but the man really likes the woman but she doesn't feel the same way, when the feeling isn't mutual and the man starts getting false hopes its not healthy.

I did not get annoyed with her. I was actually more annoyed at myself for falling into the friends zone trap again. Its not her fault. If she doesn't find me attractive then its not her problem, she is well in her rights to do so. Being friends is what she wanted... I wanted more than to be just friends. The reason why I blocked her was so that I don't contact her which is not going to be good for me or her. Its better to take action to nip it in the bud now rather than it all ending in tears. When the feeling isn't mutual its not going to work, time to move on.

Its doesn't matter regardless of being depressed or confident. Getting into a situationship is not healthy and depressing and medication wont help with that. Its better to get out of the situationship, take some time out to dust myself off and start again. its better to get to the root cause of the depression and stop it naturally rather than trying to numb it with pills.

Maybe "date" isn't the right word but rather a "meet" as in a friend meet. She was just being friendly to me and it was nothing more than that. I wanted more, I wanted a date as in a romance date that leads to more than just a friend. It was however me that got the wrong end of the stick.
Its amazing how fast one can fall for a woman... I don't fall for every woman I meet, occasionally it can happen so easily and I've done it before when the feeling wasn't mutual and that didn't end well I didn't fancy a repeat of it.

But, she actually said 'as a friend'? You didn't say this before and as some have mentioned you seem to have quite a negative slant on things, so it looked like you were shutting things down, when it might have had a chance... that was all. If she said that, fair enough. If this is the case I'm not sure why you wouldn't message saying 'Sorry, friends doesn't work for me. It was nice meeting you' all the same, but hey, you do you.
