The Point of No Return....

Every man dreads this following phrase as if they were being informed that their nearest and dearest relative has passed away. That phrase is: "Sorry (insert name here), I only see you as a friend". The FRIEND ZONE or as me and the homies call it, THE PLATONIC ZONE.

THE PLATONIC ZONE
noun
1. a place in a relationship friendship where a woman has decided that this poor little piece of a man will not be embarking in the fun of coitus or cunnilingus with her anytime in the near future;
2. a place in which men would compare to the fiery pits of hell;
3. a place of hopelessness and wasted thirst

As a gentleman in his late 20s, I've dabbled in the friend zone 15 times too many -___-. I'm a very approachable individual who has had no problem making friends of the opposite sex. BUT, one thing has to be said to any woman reading this post. Don't take this next statement the wrong way or even be offended by it. A man is only truly going to develop a relationship of any type with a woman he has some type of attraction to. It is just how we're built. It's in my genetics, I just follow what I've been given. This will explain our susceptibility to the platonic zone.

There are several types of ways to land in the PLATONIC ZONE , but we will only focus on me and my associates kisses of deaths. As a former habitual platonic zone occupant, I can look back and say that much of it was my fault. I was guilty of the following:

1. taking WAAAAY too long to express my true feelings;
2. listening to too many conversations about an ex-boyfriend;
3. offering up too much of my free time when I could be kicking it with the fellas;
4. accepting that 2AM text and not notifying her of the booty call implications at that time of the night
5. going on a shopping venture to only be tortured by seeing this woman try on outfits that outlined every which curve she was blessed with;
6. being captivated by the big butt and smile

This poor fellow has been oh-so guilty of these dumb mistakes. Why did I stick around thinking that just maybe she'd see the sparkle in my eye? HELL IF I KNOW. Much of this occurred during my college days so I'm over much of it now. Hell, I actually laugh at most of it now. But, around every single corner is the PLATONIC ZONE trap. Every woman possesses it. You may not even realize you have feelings for a woman until it hits you one day and guess what? IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE!!!!! You were already in the PLATONIC ZONE 3 weeks ago homeboy. Sucks for you!
