The Friend Zone
It's real, it's bullshit, and if you think I'm wrong and you're a girl, quit lying, and if you're a guy, wake the fuck up. (In all honesty, that line was a lot funnier the way I said it aloud, but whatever.) Let's face it, everyone has done it at some point in their lives, it's just that guys are a LOT more lenient then girls. Case in point, I ended up dating two, that right, TWO, girls that I originally said I'd never, ever go out with, and we're still good friends. Of course, on the other side of the spectrum, every other girl I've asked out has given the same BS line that, if heard, is the ultimate signal of being locked in the friend zone for all eternity: "You're a nice guy and all, but I'd rather be friends," and any of its varients. Now, twenty bucks says that every person I addressed in the first sentence is going, "Wait, I've heard/said that before." So, think I'm full of shit now? Didn't think so. At this point, I've come to believe the saying 'Nice guys finish last,' right behind the jocks, assholes, pretty boys, and the rich guys. Hell, we somehow manage to finish sixth in a field of five. I mean hell, I try to be a nice guy (except around by friends, too many insults fly to hold anything back), so what the hell do you want?
