I can dig it. There were many years of that for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I had this problem a couple of times. To the point where people would say "You and X would be so great together. If only he hadn't met Y last summer." Grrr! (although it's all worked out for the best obviously! So you never know!)
Ooh, I totally had that one time! Someone (Rio, actually) talked for a while about someone she thought I'd like, and by the time we actually met (and liked each other), he had just gotten together with someone else. Booo!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I feel like there was a HIMYM episode about this.
There was that Dane Cook/Jessica Alba movie. [link]

Joe Niekro, one of the best knuckleball pitchers of all time (though not as good as his brother Phil) taught a young neighbor how to throw the knuckler before he died.
I seem to have some allergies now. Joe and Phil Niekro were sweethearts when they played here. Also, releasing Knucksie in '83 ranks in the Braves' managements most stupid decisions.

I don't see how someone is a jackass because their agreed-upon, out in the open expectations of a non-romantic relationship conflict with the unvoiced expectations of the other party.

I wouldn't say so. Or, to be more exact:
Because at some point... I'd want the relationship to change. And it's not fair to him because we would have agreed to be friends, so it would be unreasonable to get upset with him if he was hitting on other women or didn't want to stay for breakfast.
No jackass.
whenever I got a little bitchy with him it was all "you're pissed because you want to go out with me, right?"
Jackass.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Because it can often be more complicated than that. I am big on bright clear lines of expectations, but I can totally see a guy (or girl) making the FWB seem like that's the situation because he (or she) isn't ready for a relationship, not that they don't want a relationship with a specific person.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
There was that Dane Cook/Jessica Alba movie.
Yeah! I think that's what I was thinking of. I knew that exact concept had come up recently.
