PE 11/29 Stuck in the "Friend Zone"!

I need your opinion on something kinda personal, but I think it might be right up your alley.
* right up one's alley: something that a person is apt to be good at or like
= one's cup of tea; fits one like a glove; be cut out for it
ex> That new sci-fi movie seems to be right up my alley.

You know we've been like two peas in a pod this semester.  We eat lunch and dinner together practically every day.
* like two peas in a pod: very close; inseparable
ex> As twins, they did everything together and even dressed the same, like two peas in a pod.
ex> Ever since they were little, Tom and Jenny were like two peas in a pod.

So far, so good! Have you been on any real dates?
* so far, so good: when you say that sth is progressing nicely, although a problem could occur
ex> It's been two weeks and we haven't had a problem with the new computer program. So far, so good.

I think I'm starting to get the picture. It sounds like you're trapped in the "friend zone."
* get the picture: to understand sth
ex> I think I get the picture: you're quitting school to become a famous artist. right?

You can make a bold move, but you risk upsetting the balance of your relationship.
* upset the balance: to disturb sth that is already working well
ex> When my brother moved back home, it upset the balance in the house and created tension between my parents.
