Friends zone danger
Nick writes,
I have been dating this girl who is pretty shy for about a month now. I think it has been about five dates. Normally I would have slept with or at least made out with a girl after a month. However, she has had bronchitis for the past two weeks, so I have been able to do is give her a brief peck of a kiss and just put my arm around her and what not when we watch a movie. Because we haven’t crossed that getting intimate boundary yet I am in unfamiliar territory for dating a girl this long. I’m hoping that she will be ok by next weekend. Normally I wouldn’t make any comments about kissing and just go for it, but because of the situation I have said stuff like, “I really want to kiss you but I don’t want to get sick.”
Also, as I mentioned she is pretty shy. She doesn’t really call me, but always returns my calls right away if I miss her. Normally if a girl doesn’t call me that much I assume that she isn’t really interested, but this girl talks about doing things in the future and has taken me along to meet her friends and stuff. Plus, she hasn’t ever initiated any physical affection, but doesn’t respond adversely if I do. I don’t know if it is because she’s been feeling crappy though. I really like her, but I can’t read her that well. Any advice ?

Newsflash: her bronchitis is imaginary. As a shy girl she has invented crafty ways to avoid getting intimate. Bronchitis is not something you can catch like a cold — it’s an illness that lies deep within her lungs, sort of like how you are deep in the friends zone. “I really want to kiss you”? What kind of lame ass shit is that? Just because she is throwing you off your game doesn’t mean you have to borrow lines from the movies to fill in the awkward silences.
My suggestion is to call her out on the bronchitis and say deep down she is a scared little girl who can’t handle intimacy with a man such as yourself. But before you do, have a camera ready. I want you to take a picture the instant she freaks out and then email it to me. I’ll be able to judge in her reaction if she was lying about the bronchitis or not.

Um, sounds to me like you guys had two weeks’ worth of opportunities to kiss prior to her bronchitis diagnosis. Why didn’t anything happen then? Also, if she’s well enough to have dates with you, why isn’t she well enough to kiss you? Are you guys 14? Is she scared to death of her first kiss?
No matter what the answers to those questions are, and no matter how much longer she claims to have this nokissitis crap, PLANT ONE ON HER. Do not delay - on your next date, kiss her and end this nonsense.
