I watched him sit in the tree for about ten minutes, then he recovered his wits and flew off. It put a smile on my face.

If a girl friendzone/brozones you, you still have a purpose in her life.

You are her friend or bother unit and you need to respect that, relish in it, and keep her in your life.

Just because she doesn't wanna bang you doesn't mean she has no use in your daily life.

I think girls tend to think it's a nice gesture, but to guys it's generally not. It's "you're not good enough for me to date" to most guys, I think.
