Question: When Does Picky Become Superficial?

I often wonder when it comes to men, when does deal-breakers go from practical to just too darn picky. I was once turned off by a guy because I didn't like the way his fingers looked. It sounds ridiculous now thinking back on it, but trust me, if you had seen them you would understand. Thinking back on this guy made me think of an old episode of Girlfriends. On this particular one, the main character Joan was turned off by T.C. from Passions her man of the moment because he had hips so therefore wore a girdle. As I watched that episode I could almost understand her feelings. The thought of seeing my man in a girdle, which is expected to be for women, would definitely turn me off.

The Friend Zone-How Did I Get Here?

We've all been there...

You're really really feeling this guy (or girl). You like the way he smiles, the way he dresses, the way he smells, you even like the way he talks. Maybe you see him all the time at your gym, or maybe at work. Eventually, fueled by the stares that you shoot his way when you think he's not looking, he asks for your number. You two talk on the phone for a week or so and he seems pretty cool. Now it's time for the first date. You're on for dinner, a movie, or that local poetry spot that's hot. The date is over and he drops you off at your house. Before leaving, he gives you a hug and tells you he will call you tomorrow. You guys go out a few more times. He's really feeling you, but somewhere in between dinner and the movies, he fell into the dreaded...FRIEND ZONE.
