Being too much of a friend to girls

A few things:

1.) Eventually, you have to show some initiative. Yes, there IS the risk that asking someone out and them saying no will create some awkward feelings, but that's just how the world is. And many times, if you are told 'No', say that you understand (in a mature way), then it will create only temporary awkwardness.

2.) Being nice != having no opinion. Yes, when I was young, I agreed with EVERYTHING girls told me because I wanted to be nice and not create arguements. Over time I have found that it is OK to disagree on someone. Like, not something like "I like Vanilla Ice Cream-not Chocolate", but seriously disagree. For one, it shows you are an individual with your own tastes, opinions, and ideas (which is greatly wanted). Another, it shows that you will stick to your beliefs and not be wishy-washy if someone says something else. You don't need to get into a yelling fit with someone, or curse them out, but you CAN be firm on your opinions. Think of it this way: If you always agree with the girl you really liked on everything even if you didn't, what type of relationship would that be down the road?

3.) You don't need to talk down people to have things work out. If anything, you're showing a bit of courage by refusing to give in to peer pressure. If you WANT to state your opinion, you can, but you don't have to. Realize some will get annoyed by this, but ignroe that.

4.) As said, (although I will slightly disagree on), once you're in the friend zone, you can't get out. Almost anyways. I actually know of friends who were good friends for quite a while, had no interest in each other, then do date, get married, have children, etc, etc, etc. Not saying it happens often (so don't hold your breathe), but it's not impossible either.

5.) Keep in mind that while some may not care about your music skills, some still may. It is a conversation topic. And there are those who REALLY like to discuss it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hm, it happens. Better to know than to not, ya know? Now you can refocus those energies towards others.
