Response to "Ode to the Nice Guy" By: Liz Hark on 11/7/2005; 11:48 AM I am the girl who likes the nice guys. Imagine my position. I am the girl who wants the nice guy and has to watch as these nice guys torture themselves by pining for the girls who treat them like crap. I am the girl who notices the heart break and frustration in his eyes each time he sees the girl that he desires flirting with some stupid jerk. I am the one wishing, praying, Let him notice me! Make him see me! I am the one who sees the nice guys for all that they are. I am the one who dies every time he looks at another girl, instead of me, That Way. He does not ever say what he really feels and wants, but I am the one who sees; I am the one who knows. I am the girl who tries to figure out how to make the nice guy want me, but I am also the girl who cannot bring herself to be mean or horrible to the nice guys. I am the one jumping up and down, waving my hands in the air, saying, I am the one you are looking for! Why dont you see me? I am the girl who will love you.

RE: Response to "Ode to the Nice Guy" By: Mark Morgan on 11/7/2005; 12:42 PM Hullo! Welcome to Unreason. Nice response. It's great to hear from the other end of the spectrum. I went through a lot of nights in college with an incredibly hot girl crying on my shoulder wishing her boyfriend was a nice guy. Like me. And then she'd take him back. People can be so foolish in their relationships! When I was a freshman in college there was a girl named Robin who was completely into me. Completely. Adored me. Smart, too. But I wouldn't give her the time of day because she wasn't cute enough. (People who know me now would be aghast. Growing up is worth the end of the journey, trust me.) Here's to the nice girls!

RE: Response to "Ode to the Nice Guy" By: Richard Davidson on 11/11/2005; 8:32 PM The nice guys/nice girls problem dwindles as we age. I was once a nice guy who couldn't get the girl, because the girl wanted a bad boy. Then I was a nice guy who posed as a bad boy, and couldn't get the girl, because she was sick of the bad boys, and didn't know I was a nice guy. This all played out for years, with brief interludes of happiness sandwiched between layers of truculent misery, and then one day, I met a nice girl who wanted a nice guy, on a day when I was feeling pretty nice, and we had a flawed, but vaguely satisfying relationship that made me glad I never got with any of those screwed up girls who wanted bad boys. That relationship ended badly, but with warm, nice memories, and became a stepping-stone to better things. Now I am married to a nice woman who is glad to have a nice man, and things are pretty damned nice. Your youth is a time for pain. Within that pain, there are lessons. If the pain doesn't kill you, you will become strong, and smart. Take the pain. On the sad days, go ahead and be sad. When the moments of joy come, enjoy every second, but remember to let them go, and don't be an addict. One day, it will all make a lot more sense, and that is the day that nice girls get nice guys, and nice guys get nice girls. Until that day, all bets are off. Thanks for playing!
RE: Response to "Ode to the Nice Guy" By: D. J. Dixon on 11/19/2005; 12:07 AM Did you ever try talking to aforementioned "nice guy(s)? Have you considereed having an open dialogue with them? We are trained from birth to follow dating rules. why not try and break a few of them?
RE: Response to "Ode to the Nice Guy" By: judith dixon on 2/17/2006; 9:19 PM I'm with you,Liz. But nice guys are so hard to find. Take D>J> Dixon. He's not a nice guy at all. He' married, *(to me as it happens), but he thinks he's dating material. This jerk has a big surprise coming. I' take a truly nice guy any day.
