It's archetypal.

Bull.

If he wants to save his friendship, he needs a degree of sensitivity, not some pseudo-machovistic idiocy that is soooo common among computer geeks who pretend to be relationship gods.

This site rocks!!!

"The problem arises because a woman never lets a guy know which ladder he is on. Obviously there is a huge difference, or gap between these two ladders. It is in this gap that kisses of death are delivered and intellectual whores are made. All a man can do is "go for it" and make a move on a girl; ask her out, try to kiss her, write her a love note or whatever. If he's on the good ladder fine. If he is on the friends ladder this is a case of ladder jumping. The man is trying to jump the gap from the friends ladder to the real ladder. The girl has two choices at this point: she can let him on the ladder and all is well, or, more likely, she can kick him in the head, and off the ladder. If you look you'll see that below the ladder is the Abyss(what was it Nietzsche said about a man being on a rope stretched over an Abyss?....well it's worse than he thought; there is no rope.) So the man falls into the Abyss. The Abyss isn't really as bad as it sounds. Mostly it's a period of self-loathing, embarrassment, and of course utter awkwardness with the girl in question if they are talking at all."

I'm dying here. It's Nietzche's Abyss with no rope. Oh...and it's no big deal to ned up in the Abyss. At least you showed some balls.

Meanwhile, if he wants to get laid he'll pay attention to TCO.

Oh chill. I believe in friendship and all that. That is all cool. He should still go for it. Hanging around like a lapdog is the wrong thing. He needs to go for the ladder jump!

Pardon me...I'm off enjoying the ladder site.

Exactly. But the post that started his thread said that the woman in question was a good friend so I think the IW thing applies in this case.

My personal advice is just drop the thing for now and try to find someone else, she sounds a bit too unstable to be worth the effort even if things work out (which is generally very very unlikely if she already considers you a friend).

TCO: And yes the Ladder Site is a whole lot of fun.

No doubt Grand Master Player

I mean it's like if you are on the sub why would you want to be the guy manning the wimpy little surface cannon when you could be down below and have your hands on one of the big ass nukes!!!

What you want to do is to be on the scope with some enemy ship in the cross-hairs and a warshot in the tube, and him not knowing jack about who's looking at him. Best case is 5000 miles from any other US ship, with the enemy doing a battlegroup exercise and destroyers running around.

Failing that, it can be almost as fun to pump a green flair up some Aegis crusiser's ass, off of Catalina.

And what the hell is this Grand Master Player ****? You make me laugh with that stuff. I just like to talk a little smack and have a little fun. And every know and then ask a girl out. That's it, dog. Nothing more.

Strangely, I agree with GP.

The relationship can't last forever as is, the tension will destroy it sooner or later. Make a move, see where things go.

I know that for one, I have no idea if she would want that, and two, she's ****ed in the head when it comes to physical intimacy, so wouldn't be comfortable with it even if she did want it.

SNIPPED, to get rid of all the bull****

Yah, **** you too, God.

Anybody this stupid isn't ready for a relationship.
You have too many issues of your own to deal with right now.

[Bereta_Eder]

Lorizael,
IMHO... it will happen.

If you're not seeing anyone else and she doesn't either (or even if you do) it will most certaintly happen.
It takes a LOT of effort to have a guy-girl friendship that deep and not go romantic (assuming you're attracted to eachother). Of course, after it has happened, where you go from there only "God" knows.

[Urban Ranger]

It should happen. It's yearning to happen.

Certainly, it would be up to Lorizael to show his best friend that not all men are dorks.

[Bereta_Eder]

Or confirm that perception (j/k)
