OP: I feel jipped, we need a better pic than that thumbnail you posted earlier even though she does seem pretty fine from afar. Also, even though I trust you are now on the aggressive path, please do be careful of the "friend zone" as previously mentioned. I am speaking from experience... I have a distant friend (girl) who I run into every now and then that is in my "friend zone," she is a single mom with a 2 year old.. and I have a serious girlfriend now. Every time I see her I always wonder where my life would be if I just had the fucking balls to ask her out on a real date when we were much younger. I did the lunch thing with her and hung out with her on the weekends and listened to her stories, etc. etc. but never went in for the kill, so to speak. If I was single right now, I could still never go for the "friend zone girl," because all I can imagine is her reaction if I did so.... something like Phillip Seymour Hoffman trying to make out with Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights.
