the friend zone is too oft maligned. I seldom get involved with a man any more if he has not first been one of my friends. Also remember your females friends have OTHER female friends who could meet you too!

Don't sweat the friend zone..it could well be called the "test zone"

(this is female top secret I shouldn't be telling you this news) but....a lotta gals friend zone guys to see if they will stick around and really be friends or if they were just trying to get in their pants. that is how we eliminate the losers & users

no those are good qualities to have. A lot of women are tired of flakes, cheaters and losers who don't think.....so there you are ready for them!

We both have the same problem as this is the way I am and because of this I will never meet a man either.

I'm not sure that practical means you are emotionless. You can still be a voice of reason, but show emotion as well. Perhaps that's the part they're talking about. It's tough to deal with people who show no emotion at times, as it's hard to figure out what they're thinking and feeling. They're very closed off.

All ya gotta do is find a chick who is sort of like you and then you'll hit it off, have fifteen babies, white picket fence, and a mini van.

What did your friend mean by practical and grounded?

I'm practical when I climb stuff, because if not I fall on the ground. And it hurts.

But seriously, help me out, what does that mean?

This may depend upon whether you still live
at home and your parents have grounded you.
