    Bummer. She’s been friend-zoned.

    Friend Zoned?!? What Comic are you reading?
    “I just want to be friends.”
    “Maybe we should just be friends.”

    NO! He said he wants to know her better.. which is what I say to guys… Jumped up Jesus.. do all guys instantly see the Mythical Friend zone everywhere?!

      It’s hard to tell subtext in written dialogue, but “dork” and “knucklehead” could be construed as “friends” speech not “I wish to date you” speech.

      Have to see where Tuesday goes.

        My sentiments, exactly. I MIGHT say “dork” or “knucklehead” to a friend, but never to a potential mate. I feel the intimacy of a sexual relationship requires a higher level of respect, because you’re dancing that much closer to the other person’s ego. But maybe that’s just me.

        @barermender. I dunno.. My family always taught me you should marry your best friend… We also have a tendency to use endearing insults (“buckwheat”, “buffalo butt” etc… We’ve always used them, and I’ve never once felt they were anything but affectionate ribbing).
        I think it depends on the couple

        I guess I’m not the affectionate ribbing type. To tell the truth, I wouldn’t even call my frends dork or knucklehead. Some people think there’s something wrong with my sense of humor.

        Seriously, have you *read* this strip? People call those they love dork and knucklehead and all kinds of similar things all the damn time!

        I respond as I respond. Incidentally, Conscience doesn’t seem thrilled with Tepoz’s speech either.

        “Jerkface” is one of my terms of endearment for my husband. He calls me “Dingus.” Some of us sling insults playfully out of love. It really only works when you both do it and are both comfortable. We get a kick out of making up creative ones.

        ..It’s also an improv exercise. Lots of theatre kids do this.

      Yes, yes we do. We can feel it weeks and miles in advance. We’re so paranoid about it that even an offer of sex makes us worry if she just wants a friend with benefits. Most men on the inside are terrified little boys dipping pig-tails in ink-wells and running away. We haven’t changed in 200 years.

        Buddy, I don’t mind if you cut your own balls off, but kindly leave mine alone.

    All is working out fine, with minimal drama. Yay!

      Minimal drama _today_. Drama tomorrow. There’s always drama tomorrow.

      With apologies to Susan Ivanova.

      Great reference; in case anybody is missing the point, see here:

        Id never seen that before, I’ll check it out. BTW- theres also a great deal of the film ‘Topper’ to be applied to their relationship; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topper_(film)

    I guess for them it did get easier when they got older. They’re not school-age. Just how old are they now, at least technically?

    Why do they have to be romantic friends-with-benefits? Why not just be Great Mates? o_O
