Rule #5: The Friend Zone

Here's how to deal with the "Friend Zone."
You can take it one of two ways; you can take it like a man (or woman) and accept it and be content to be friends or you can yell and scream and pout like a 3 year old. I prefer the former to the latter.

See, the friend zone isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Friends has benefits (and, again, I don't mean the sexual kind, though I suppose that depends on the girl). For example, Break ups suck; I know this, you know this, the whole friggen world knows this. Nobody likes to be broken up with or break it off with someone, it's just not fun. When you are only friends you can have a solid relationship of sorts with out the messy issues if one of you (or both of you) feels like things just aren't chemical. It also means that if they didn't feel chemical or even emotional at the beginning you have that wonderful chance to still enjoy that person's company without anything awkward.

Now it's true, some times things get awkward, but let me be blunt; generally things get awkward because ONE of you makes a Big deal about the just friends thing. You know it's true. Friends with the opposite sex is something you either
A) deal with and let it go
or
B) walk away from it and make friends with the same sex if you can't take the friend zone.

There's no point in wallowing in your misery (trust me, been there, done that, roll the credits), because no one else cares, not even your friend. Yeah, they'll feel a little bad, but if anything you're going to scare them off. So as Tallahassee would say "It's time to nut up or shut up." Go do what's neccessary and continue on with your life; there's no point in crying over things you can't change.
