where's the disconnect?

This is a general list based off of the experiences of some of my female friends and myself.

Top Seven Things a Guy Should Not Say to a Girl in Whom He is Not Interested

(It's not that I couldn't think of 3 more, I just didn't want to be cliche by doing a top ten. :P )

7. I'm just calling because I'm bored
6. it's so easy to talk to you
5. you're beautiful
4. I love spending time with you
3. you'll make a great mother
2. you're such an awesome woman
1. you'll make a great wife

If you recognize all these things, why don't you want to date her?? Seriously, if you have a girl in your life about whom you think all of these things I want you to sit down and consider why you have relegated her to platonic friendship land.

Any guy who says these things without any follow through should be punched in the face. ("Punch _______ in the face" being my new favorite phrase, though to be fair I use it for girls too. I'm not actually that violent so no punches have actually happened.)

Note: follow through can include introducing said wonderful girl who for whatever reason you do not wish to date to one of your great guy friends who might actually man up.

Note 2: Some guys can get away with saying these things to girls with whom they are just friends, but if you're not sure it's best to keep your mouth shut.

Why is it so easy for guys to say these things to girls they don't intend to date, when girls rarely (if ever) would say any of those things to a guy she wasn't interested in? Where did we start operating out of such different places?

Is it because girls tend to analyze everything?

Is it because guys just want to keep all their options open?

I agree with your seven... I would add an eighth "It's hard for me not to want to kiss you when you smell so good...."
