Okay ISO new anime or manga to keep myself from bein bored at home.
Preferably somthin with a average, ordinary, or weak male lead that has an encounter with somthing or someone strange or outof place. He is then dragged into a lifestyle where he discovers things about himself he never knew, and or gains abilities he did not have. Or he is already powerful but chooses to keep himself hidden

Try Shakugan no Shana (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=3408)
And about anime you forgot, if you're looking for title, it's Shuffle! (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2844)

Your description basically sums up the premise to Shakugan no shana. And since you liked Zero no Tsukaima, maybe you'll like Shana (from my experience, people who like one of them often like the other). Shana however is more serious in tone, and in that case, the female character is definitely more powerful than Yuji (the male lead) who's almost like a male damsel-in-distress at times. The characterization is pretty good IMO, particularly for shana. Plus, the same seiyuu who play louise and Saito play Shana and Yuji.

Try "Change 1,2,3", it's got a really strong female lead.

The new World Destruction has a laid back male lead and a strong female, also guardian of the sacred spirit-Seirei no Moribito
Seconding Seirei no Moribito - beautiful show around a strong female, and weak male.

Also black lagoon has Rock, the weak office worker paired with the gunbearing, short short wearing, and kick your ass chick, levvy.
Chrno Crusade-might be or not be what you're looking for; chrno is a demon and contracts with rose, though chrno takes the form of a normal, though weak looking human, with the sacrafice of time he can unleash his true potential. Rose, the second protagonist is an outgoing, loud(but caring), skilled exorcist, combos with chrno to of course exorcise demons as well as quest for her brother
Code Geass-Lelouch is weak physically but dominates when it comes to strategy. Though hes the mastermind behind the rebellion against his father, the emperor, Kallen, his ace pilot does the dirty work on the battlegrounds
Elfien Lied-action pretty much comes from the girl, guy is just the emotional character needed in every anime
Elemental Gelade-though the main protag only has his spirit/ego to keep his promise, the girl holds most of the power
Kanokon-similar to rosario+vampire, the main character is put in perverted situations, suffers/enjoys naughty acts, and goes through trouble here and there
Nagasarete Airantou-Guy is pretty much the weak guy but comes through when the time is right. Surrounded and stranded by an utopia of big breasted females who are dying to be his lover
Fate/Stay Night-Protag is the caring type;kind, caring, and easily taken advantage of, and eventually gets dragged into the war of the holy grail. Saber, his servant desires to win the war, though his agenda is to prevent any more casualties
Shingetsutan Tsukihime-similar situation to F/S N, from same creators of course so you'll get the same feeling
well thats all i got, enjoy

i think you will like kanokon
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu fits your ddescription exactly.
Kyon is dragged into it, when he met Haruhi. He discovers much that he didn't really want to be part of, but he is the key to everything and is the most important factor.

Kaze no Stigma...hardly a weak male lead...
but i forth Shana 1and 2
Seikerei is also good
Okay ISO new anime or manga to keep myself from bein bored at home.
Preferably somthin with a average, ordinary, or weak male lead that has an encounter with somthing or someone strange or outof place. He is then dragged into a lifestyle where he discovers things about himself he never knew, and or gains abilities he did not have.
The first thing that came to my mind was Buso Renkin (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6601). Licensed by Viz Media.
As for comedic romances, definitely try Seto no Hanayome (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7460). I don't know about you, but that series constantly made me hurt by laughing too much.

I think you would love this one.
Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi AKA History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6864) ~ a martial arts series which should hit all of your criteria.
