Advice Goddess: Friends with deficits

Wednesday, May 14, 2008

By Amy Alkon

I’m always relegated to friendship by women. I met this beautiful girl who was seeing someone. We became great friends, and then she met another guy, dumped her boyfriend for him, and I’m still just her friend. I’m realizing I only fall for girls if we’re friends first; otherwise, I don’t get attached.
- Platonic Particle

You can either be the guy who gets the girl or the guy who gets to drive the girl to the party where she’ll meet the guy she goes home with. Getting out of the latter category is a snap - much like getting out of a 30-foot glass box greased with Crisco. You know that quote, “Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are”? If your friends are women who are always stepping around you to get to their next boyfriend, you’re probably a guy who’s more into avoiding rejection than having a girlfriend.

Dating is a sampling process: finding a woman you MIGHT like, and saying “You’re attractive...feel like a mochatini?” You start figuring out how you feel about her as she’s drinking it - as opposed to waiting until you become her BFF with testicles. (Don’t worry, you won’t be needing them.)
