A guy once told me that there is an invisible clock that begins ticking the minute you and another person decide to begin "talking" as more than just friends.
He explained that the two of you have seven days, from the moment numbers are exchanged, to meet up for an official or unofficial date.
However, if you two exceed the seven days without getting together, you will forever remain as just friends and the clock will then stop ticking and begin resetting itself for the next person.
There are many reasons why people end up in the "just friends" category. (Here's an interesting view from the guy's perspective.THIS BLOGGER says the biggest reason guys end up being "just friends" is because they make the mistake of acting like a friend instead of flirting.)

I've had a guy friend tell me that he entered our friendship with intentions to be more than just friends but after waiting too long to tell me that, he ended up settling as being my friend.
Naturally, I began putting a time limit on how long it takes a guy to attempt to take the next step.
In doing this, my expectations gradually began to rise.
He sent me one text message today= friend.
We went out to dinner tonight= more than a friend.
This was all being done in hopes to meet that seven day deadline which I was already giving a warning about but in turn, I lost the desire to get to know him and discovered a new addiction to time.
As helpful as it may seem to have a seven day goal in mind when first meeting someone, try your best not to be so focused on the clock and instead focus on the reason for the clock ticking.
