A Straight Man's simple guide to "The Friendzone":
Should you maintain the friendship? Is there anything on a non-romantic level that appeals to you about her? Intellect? Hobbies? Professionally?
(A very good sample question to ask yourself here is: Can you ever see yourself doing business with her? Could you see her as your Realtor? Your Attorney? I am using examples from my professional dealings.)
If the answer is YES, maintain the friendship.
If the answer is NO, and you really just want her physically, then politely say goodbye.If the answer is YES, but you still *really really really* want to get into bed with her, bury that, and deep.
