Just a Friend 2010 (Not to be confused the 2002 version)

Friend Zone - "The situation where the female has begun to view a male as a friend only and not a potential suitor, a psychological classification supposedly exceptionally difficult to undo."

What is it about women that causes them to feel compelled to place men in the supposed "impenetrable" friend Zone?

I've had my fare share of encounters with the friend zone, actually more than I'd like to admit. But there are a few things that have boggled my mind, why are women so insistent on not crossing the line between friend and lover. They refuse to take that risk. Constantly worried of ruining the friendship. What is it about guys that we're not afraid to take that risk. You know what they say, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Come on if you can be such great friends what makes you think that a relationship with that person won't be an even greater experience. I feel you have the same chance of ruining the friendship as you do the relationship. By not taking the chance you could be missing out on what could be the greatest thing to ever happen to you. There's a saying "Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.", maybe girls need to have a guy mindset not just when it comes to sex but also relationship, you don't know that can happen til you give it a try. Here's a tip to all you guys who are stuck in the friendzone and are looking for a way out....this is very risky....personally I've only tried this once and it actually worked. What you have to do is put your friendship on the line. Let her know that you guys would be great together and being just friends won't work, and you have to end if.....like I said, it's a huge risk, but either one of two things will happen, thats the end of a friendship or she'll come to her senses and realize how she doesn't wanna lose you from her life and want to take the chance at being more than friends. If you wanna try this, then I wish you nothing but luck and hopefully happiness cause us good guys deserve it.

One step from the Edge

I am in a very, very fragile state of mind right now.....Everyone who thinks they're helping, trust me you're really not....you're just making things worse and worse....you continue to talk about things and give advice on things you know nothing about....Maybe if you all collaborated and put in what little pieces you have you would come close to something that resembles what's really going on. I'm stressing out and you're all just making it worse. Don't tell me anything unless you're 100% sure it's gonna help me, all you're doing is adding to the baggage that I'm already trying to work through. I take what you tell me into consideration but at the end of the day no one knows whats good or better for me more than I do.

Ring $200, Snowglobe $10 ,Falling Priceless

It hurts so much......So much that I don't even wanna wake up in the morning. I don't know how i make it through the day and no matter how many times people tell me things will get better I can't imagine that happening. I'm probably at the lowest I've been in the longest and I pity myself so much right now......I'm jsut letting myself wither away because I started to fall. All I wanted to do was talk to you....that's all I asked for...but it was jsut a game.....It was all jsut a game.....my feelings were a game to be played.......I am a human being, I have a heart, i have feelings. I am not someone to be toyed with. I am a genuine nice guy and because of that i feel more than others so when you hurt me it hurts more than it would others. Boy have i been proven a fool time and time again. You think you can overlook someones flaws but sometimes those flaws just just come back to bite you harder than ever damn. Yeah I bought a $200 ring but it was for me to hold onto until things went somewhere, whereit seemed things were going but like i said I'm a fool, drunk and mad I jsut gave up......boy what a fool I am........boy how much I'm hurting, boy how much I cared.......boy how much i fell.....They say we're all jerks or care about one thing.......what if you had the opportunity to be with someone who was nothing like that.......

The Claddagh's Rings distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown). The expression which was associated with these symbols in the giving of the ring was: "With my two hands I give you my heart, and crown it with my loyalty." Yet, the expression, "Let love and friendship reign forever" can be found as another meaning for the symbols.
