I too am of the straight variety. Girls like me, but not in the “I’d like to date you” sense. I’m a really good listener, I guess. They just like to have me as a close friend. Allow me to explain: My right shoulder’s for talking to, and my left ones for crying on. But nothing in between. I can talk about relationships or anything, but very often I am asked on advice as to what I think of other people (including several times when I was about to ask a girl out and they asked about my friend). Then they cry on my shoulder when my friend inevitably treats them like shit. Oh well. ---
