Just Friends2005/I

Chris:
What about Sheila? You making any headway?

Ray:
We'll see. I'm taking her to lunch today.

Chris:
Oh, whoa, whoa whoa. Don't - don't do that. Okay? Don't do lunch.

Ray:
Why?

Chris:
That's like the express lane to the friend zone.

Ray:
What the hell's the friend zone?

Chris:
See when a girl decides that you're her friend, you're no longer a dating option. You become this complete non-sexual entity in her eyes, like her brother, or a lamp.

Ray:
I don't want to be a lamp.

Chris:
Yea well then don't be her friend, okay? Take that guy for example... [points to a clumsy guy and a gorgeous girl skating together]

Ray:
You mean that couple?

Chris:
No, I mean the guy that *wishes* they were a couple.

Ray:
What is your point?

Chris:
My point is - Call Sheila, Ray. Call her right now. Move your day date to tonight. Play the entire thing aloof and no matter what you do, kiss her at the end. 'Cause friends don't kiss.
