My coworker who I'm interested in, called me "buddy" while texting. What could this mean? Are we in the friend zone?

A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have not been single for a while. I was in a three year relationship in which in the end I ended up really hurt. I've been single for a couple months and it has been tough. But knowing guys still take an interest in me feels pretty good. I am not looking for anything serious. Im the type that just let's things happen and go with the flow.

But lately I have been texting alot with one of my coworkers. Really nice chill guy. We work in a huge warehouse store so we hardly see eachother. Whenever we talk he seems interested and wants to know more about me and sometimes flirts. He constantly text me, before work, lunch and after work untill we got to sleep almost everyday now for the last two weeks. He asked if I wanted to hang out outside of work sometime next week and I said yes because I guess I can say I am interested. It maybe be because I am still a bit vulnerable and just miss having someone there or getting that attention.

The thing is just until last night while we were texting he called me "buddy". It kinda threw me off because he seemed like he like me or was interested in me. And since I am not looking for anything I don't want to be the one to ask if he is interested or not. But what could this mean? Are we in the friend zone? Or maybe he realised he just liked me as a friend?

HippyChick agony auntHere's what you need to do. Relax, and stop over thinking. He's asked you to hang out, you said yes, he wouldn't be texting so much if he thought of you as just a buddy.

You're not looking for anything but you're worried about being the in the friend zone? That makes no sense. Obviously, you're looking to be more than or friend or liked by him as more than a friend.

You hardly see each other but he texts you all the time and he's even mentioned going out, so of course he's interested. He called you "buddy." What do you want him to call you? "Sexy lover toy?" C'mon. Yes, for now you two are friends. If it becomes more and you go out and if anything develops...if he's still calling you "buddy" then yes, you're in the friend zone.
