What A Lovely Umbrella

The Wikkid Podcast adds more cowbell and gets friendzoned this week. That is to say, it explores that experience of having grown very close with someone, a romantic relationship seeming to you to be starting out well, and suddenly being told you should be "just friends" instead. And then, instead of that meaning "sod off and leave me alone," it means you're around to provide the usual shoulder to cry on, the sounding board to sound on, and on and on. But you go along, right, because maybe she'll change her mind? Caryl says they never reverse this decision. Susan weighs in. Evan asks why, if men are famously bad at picking up on (female) hints, do women then communicate with men primarily in hints? Siri recommends against Emily blocking her ex who wants to be "just friends."
