heh, he was pretty much describing the type of girl friends I seem to have as well
Anyways, I've never had a problem in trying to ask out a good friend on a serious date and try to elevate the relationship. I just always get a response that's something like, "you're too good of a friend and I don't want to jeopardize that friendship by dating you." Then they say that they wish they could find a man who wouldn't just be their boyfriend, but also their best friend... Like I said, I'll never understand the logic!
And Sweetlamb... I can't remember how the quote goes exactly but it's something like: The only man who will be worth your tears is the one who won't make you cry.
One thing I've noticed about a majority of guys is that they seem to fall into 3 categories when trying to date women. They are either bad and deceiving on purpose and obviously, usually trying for only casual dating. or they are preteneding to be nice, well-mannered guys, although that's not their real personality. Or they are geniunely trying to be a good man and do right by women.
That third kind is more rare then you would think. Of course none of us are perfect, all men will let ya down in one way or another here or there, usually with just small things. But every now and then you'll find a guy who fits that middle category, comes off sweet as sugar and then bites you in the long run. It's really sad, but it's reality
