Stuck in the Friend's Zone

Does any single person every like to hear what a great friend they are from the opposite sex?  I sure as hell do... not.  What can be more insulting than hear what an amazing woman you are and that I am such a catch, but I think we are better friends??  Or the whole I need to work on my career and education, and after a year of a 'non-relationship', they move to another state for a new job and school and end up dating someone they maybe met 4 times and then decided a long-distance relationship would be better than the girl they just told is 'perfect girl'.  Can you say slap in the face?  Be real with me.  I am sorry I am not the type of girl to sit there and know my role.  I have a personality.  Deal with it.  I'm sorry that you're not comfortable enough to handle all I can give.  Because I can totally understand how unconditional, giving love can be terrifying from someone who speaks her mind.  

I mean WTF!  Grow some balls and be a man.  And not like the horrifying date I had at a sushi restaurant a while back.  The guy was 25 minutes late. Talked about his two chihuahuas (Butt-hole and Cooter), yeah I'm not kidding. Then proceeded to put his chopsticks in his teeth like fangs. Proceeded to yell "BALLS" at the top of his lungs (I begged for him to tell me he has turrets, but no, he just likes to do it randomly to 'entertain himself')... oh and it gets better... He ultimately squeezed and edamame with his fingers and hit the woman in the head at the table next to me.  Laughed like a teenage girl and then tried to do it again.  Needless to say, I stood up and told him he could get the check and left the restaurant as he yelled, "does this mean I shouldn't call!?"

Honestly, I'm started to seriously question single men.  Are all the good ones seriously taken??  Is the BALLS boy the only kind of guys left out there?  I love my guy friends, but always hearing about their love lives and them talking to me like I am one of the guys really is started to concern me.  Am I always going to be stuck in the friends zone?  Permanent Wing-man?  When will those talks about the hot girl at the concert be about me?  Guys, if you are my friend and that's all you want... stop staring at the girls and trying to grab my ass.  I'm not your toy.  These killer shoes deserve more respect than the half of a cherry bomb you couldn't finish.  Just sayin...
