To All the Nice Guys

This goes to all the nice guys.

To the guys that have been delegated to the "oh, we're just good friends" category. To the guys that have the reputation of being a great guy but not a great lover. To the guys that will stay up late listening to a girl rant about how terrible guys are, while being the example of how awesome guys are. To the guys that watch a girl date a total jerk while you stand on the sidelines watching. To the guys that will go on cheesy dates so as to never let a girl spend a Friday night alone. To the guys that are true gentlemen, that hold open the doors for the girls, that compliment a girl on the way she looks.
You deserve some recognition. While the jerk guys get the girls and rewarded with kisses and caresses, all you get is the smile, and maybe a hug. You listen to girls complain about how there are no good guys to date while you stand there, in all your good guy glory, and agree with them. You interrupt the longest killing spree you've had on Halo to help a girl with her problem, truly a great sacrifice on your part.  You give up so much, yet you get so little. So, here's my recognition to you.
You are an excellent person. Your actions do not go unnoticed by the female gender. She is truly grateful that she can call you at 3 a.m. to talk about her problems. She loves it every time you tell her she is beautiful, that she looks gorgeous. She loves it when you notice the new shoes she bought, or when she tries a new hairstyle. The times she comes to you asking for advice is her way of saying "I trust you." The 100 messages she leaves on your phone when you're not available is her way of saying "I need you." The beautiful smile that she gives you is her way of telling you "I love you."
Here's my advice to you: Girls are weird. Girls are really confusing. They will say one thing ("Oh, it's more important to have a nice boyfriend than a hot boyfriend"), then turn around and say another thing ("Mmm, just look at that sexy man over there, oh, what I would do to date him").
Hang in there. I sympathize with you, as I have been in this same situation numerous times. Keep doing what you're doing. Who knows? Maybe one day she'll realize that you've been standing right in front of her her whole life. Maybe one day she'll start having the same feelings that you have for her.
But what if she doesn't? Darn. But, remember, not all girls are like this. One day, you will find a girl that will be just as pretty, just as nice, just as good, but will not throw you off as "the nice guy." She will appreciate all the things that you do. Your job is to find that girl. Even harder is the job of finding that girl that also is single.
Got it?
Nice guys, you are appreciated. Many smiles have been put on many girls faces because of your actions. Keep doing what you're doing, and I promise that one day you will be rewarded.
My friends, God bless.
