Girls, you're going to meet some really great guys in your lives. They are going to make you laugh, they are going to be there when you need them, and they are going to tell you the truth. They are going to be the best men you ever meet. And you're going to friendzone them. You're going to "love them like a brother" and "feel no spark" and "not want to risk losing their friendship".
I met my best friend when I was 17. He's the only man who has never lied to me. He's still the only person I can pick up the phone to call without hesitation. And I don't have to tell why I need him - he just says what I need to hear and we move on with our lives. He is, without qualification, the single best man on earth. And, I would give anything to have fallen in love with him when I had the chance. He's someone else's husband now, and she gets the honor of being married to the (nearly) perfect man I know him to be. I'm not jealous of many people, but I envy her laughter like no other.
My advice: The obvious - fall in love with a friend. Let stability trump sexy. Allow honesty to outrank handsome. If you find someone that you trust to catch you when you fall on your face, fall in love.
Good guys stay good guys. They just do. They will pick up the phone when you need them and you will have their shoulder for life. But someone else will get their heart if you don't. So, let your friends be your lovers. Look at the way they go out of their way to make you smile and let that be sexy. Watch the way they laugh at your stupid stories and let that move you.
The friendzone isn't just where stupid girls send good guys. It's also the waiting room where smart girls go to find their prizes.
