The theory is that if you're too nice, you're a low value person who's not worth pursuing (available people are low value people).

Also, it's more of a read-between-the-lines kind of thing. Like when you ask people 'what's wrong?' and they immediately 'Nothing, I'm fine.' Do you take that word for word, or do you read their body language and gauge for yourself whether something's really bothering them? And nobody owes anybody sex, but it sure doesn't hurt to try more than once. Who said anything about ‘angry demands’?

Now start seeing your new-found-friend more often than she of your desires. As you said, law of attraction takes over and when opportunity presents itself, your desire can be yours. Just don't hurt anyone in the process. @tp: If you got friend-zoned, friend-zone someone yourself. Now start seeing your new-found-friend more often than she of your desires.

Sounds like him to a T (even the no contribution financially and over the top good looks). But his name was Mark, not Arthur. Maybe I should write the next Dear Diary....

That's not to say there aren't happy marriages, but it's as much of a crapshoot as it is in the west.
