The friend zone is the worst place to ever be in ever.

[Aegrus]

If a girl simply wasn't dating, nice guys wouldn't care nearly so much. The argument isn't "I'm nice, why won't she have sex with me," it's "I'm nice and he's not, so why is she dating him and not me?"

Sounds to me like someone needs to grow a pair. You realize that these are both incredibly stupid thought processes, no?

Sex isn't implied, and the existence of a perceived worse party who the girl *is* dating is what typically causes the angst.

Very different.

Frustration's a hard thing to deal with, isn't it?

To the contrary, I was frustrated, then I found an amazing girlfriend who thinks the same way I do. ^_^
